00:00:00Things are happening, and it's like, I want to fight for my life.
00:00:12I want to fight for, you know, justice, not guilty.
00:00:15I want to have a life to be able to live.
00:00:18You know, it's really going to be hard for me to take more hits
00:00:21than I take it, God forbid, get in front of a jury and have a chance.
00:00:27And so I'm having this emergency call because something has to give.
00:00:31We need the core theme to be, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:00:35You know, you didn't do anything wrong on any front.
00:00:37And you've come to New York to face things head on.
00:00:41If anyone's ever paying any attention to what you've actually been doing,
00:00:45you've handled this with complete honor.
00:00:49I don't think it's working. I've listened.
00:00:53I've been a superb client, as you said.
00:00:56I jumped on a plane. I'm coming to New York.
00:00:58But I'm just, like, I'm just running around waiting for a shooter drop.
00:01:05We're losing sight of the big picture, man.
00:01:08It's the middle of September, and there's still no indictment.
00:01:11That's...
00:01:12No, bro, then you have to have a spokesman.
00:01:15You have to have some sort of comms to constantly be pushing that mark.
00:01:19Because you may just be a person that just does...
00:01:21You just may watch CNN. You know what I'm saying?
00:01:24And there's, like, there's 9 billion people in the world.
00:01:26And 7 billion of them is on Instagram and TikTok.
00:01:31And so you at the wrong place looking to see what the people with the possible jurors are thinking.
00:01:37We have to find somebody that'll work with us, whether they're from this country or from another country.
00:01:43It could be somebody that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirtiest, dirty business of media and propaganda.
00:01:52I've seen the media portray me like I'm a gangster, or at times I'm a cold individual, or I'm just a shrewd businessman, which is just not the case.
00:02:11I'm a dreamer. I love closing my eyes and dreaming. I don't really deal with reality.
00:02:16You know, I think that you're a great guy, a great role model.
00:02:18Diddy P. Papa. Papa Diddy Pop.
00:02:21I'm sorry, I don't know what you're calling yourself these days.
00:02:23The American dream come true. Thank you, America.
00:02:27It's like we have a movie and you're speaking this language and, you know what I'm saying, we need subtitles.
00:02:32And we're not providing the audience for subtitles.
00:02:34And I invited you to this movie and you and this thing, you don't know what's going on.
00:02:38You just see, you just see the images, you know, quickly.
00:02:43Now, it has a whole life of its own.
00:02:44The Department of Homeland Security conducting a raid at a house connected to Sean.
00:02:55Breaking news, another woman is accusing Sean Diddy Holmes of sexual assault.
00:02:58Trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping.
00:03:00The fourth lawsuit in the last five weeks.
00:03:02The fifth lawsuit.
00:03:03The seventh lawsuit.
00:03:04There are now more than a dozen civil cases.
00:03:05Conduct that does indeed span two decades.
00:03:07I'm taking eight nuclear bombs, you know what I'm saying, straight to the head.
00:03:12And I'm tired of, I'm tired of going back and forth with y'all with the lawyers.
00:03:16That's, that's, that's just not true.
00:03:17Okay, so, so, so, so, so, so, so.
00:03:19Let me, let me.
00:03:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:03:21Let me, let me tell you something.
00:03:22Let me, let me, let me say this.
00:03:23I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a referee.
00:03:26So I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:28Listen to me.
00:03:29I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:31And I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution.
00:03:37No matter what, no matter what nobody said.
00:03:40Let's, let's just, here and there, y'all are not working together the right way.
00:03:43We're losing.
00:04:10Let's just get a little cutaway of them.
00:04:19Yeah, just get little cutaways of them, like, looking from the, you know what I'm saying?
00:04:31That's what I'm saying.
00:04:32All of us got to go to the maker, and we will be held accountable for the things we did
00:04:54and we didn't do.
00:04:57Sean Combs is an asshole.
00:05:00He is the motherfucker you're not going to like, and you're not going to get the fuck
00:05:05along with if he doesn't get his way.
00:05:10He quickly became my hero.
00:05:18If y'all had a fucking chance to meet this guy, you would be like, this nigga's energy
00:05:24is everything.
00:05:25I got to get up and go.
00:05:26I got to get up and do it.
00:05:29What's next?
00:05:30What's next?
00:05:31I got to get it.
00:05:31I'm not going to stay fucking down.
00:05:35He was presenting this freedom that black people hadn't had.
00:05:40Like, we hadn't experienced a black man being able to say, I don't want that.
00:05:44I don't want no problems with your God.
00:05:46Hey, yo, dog, what are you talking about?
00:05:47You're telling me, like, I'm on some bullshit.
00:05:49I ain't on no bullshit with you.
00:05:50So when I first met him, he quickly became the guy I wanted to be like.
00:05:56When you're a leader in that way, it's admirable until you get to the point where you want to
00:06:03control everyone around you.
00:06:05He got to that point.
00:06:09What y'all want to do?
00:06:11Want to be ballers, shot callers, brawlers.
00:06:14It's like Scarface, the movie.
00:06:16I want the world and everything that's in it.
00:06:19But you got everything.
00:06:20Hey, yo, New York, we fucking did it!
00:06:25Harlem, we did it, Montana, we did it!
00:06:27It was a mantra that Sean had.
00:06:31Nobody's going to be bigger than me.
00:06:33Sean is the 1% of the 1% of the 1%.
00:06:35We'll never see a Sean in my lifetime again.
00:06:39Ever.
00:06:41It was like the more money he got, the more power he got, the more power he got, the more
00:06:46money he got.
00:06:47And he always felt like money can get him out of everything.
00:06:52I do feel it's important that we let the public know from the juror's standpoint, just
00:06:58kind of how we reach the verdict.
00:07:03It's not everything that the media has put it out to be.
00:07:08You want to put stuff in my fanny bag, King?
00:07:11He's creating a narrative always.
00:07:13He is the best storyteller in hip-hop.
00:07:21He thinks he's black Superman.
00:07:23I can do what I want.
00:07:25You can't go on for long in life doing the things that he was doing before something eventually
00:07:30happens.
00:07:30You can't continue to keep hurting people and nothing ever happens.
00:07:38It's just a matter of time.
00:07:49Is it good to be back in New York?
00:07:52It's always good to be back in New York.
00:07:55Once upon a time, not long ago, when people wore pajamas and lived life slow.
00:08:00Willows were stern and justice stood.
00:08:02And people were behaving like they ought to good.
00:08:04I was there from the very beginning with the invention of Sean Combs.
00:08:27I co-founded Bad Boy with Sean.
00:08:33I was dazzled by his ideas and his unique talent.
00:08:40But he was a very different Sean Combs back then.
00:08:45Yo, pop, man.
00:08:46I'm gonna take care of his job.
00:08:48Sean was 19 when he dropped out of Howard University.
00:08:52He wanted to be in the flashy, swaggy music industry.
00:08:57It seems to me you can be my life.
00:09:01He started off dancing, wanting to be in videos.
00:09:06I'm not mad at you.
00:09:09Wanting to be a pop culture mover and shaker at a time where things were changing.
00:09:16Hip-hop was evolving.
00:09:21Like it or not, rap is here to stay.
00:09:24It has become part of mainstream commerce.
00:09:28It was just explosive.
00:09:31Run DMC.
00:09:32Chaos One.
00:09:33Public Enemy.
00:09:35Rock Him.
00:09:35The late 80s.
00:09:39It was fantastic.
00:09:42There were a lot of independent labels that gave birth to hip-hop in the way that we know it today.
00:09:50What is this new music?
00:09:56Like Uptown Records.
00:09:57Grab a hold of yourself and check this tempo.
00:10:00Remember these rhymes?
00:10:02Heavy D said so the overweight...
00:10:04Heavy D was the biggest rapper signed to Uptown.
00:10:08Excuse me.
00:10:09We got Heavy D in the house with us today.
00:10:11Thanks for coming down.
00:10:12You can be with the hardest cats in the hood.
00:10:13You can rock Heavy D.
00:10:14You with your grandmother in the car.
00:10:15You ain't got to reach for the radio and turn it off.
00:10:18We call him the official mayor of Money Earned Mount Vernon.
00:10:23Money Earned Mount Vernon.
00:10:25Money Earned Mount Vernon.
00:10:28Mount Vernon is in Westchester County.
00:10:30The first city outside of the Bronx.
00:10:35Heavy D put that area on the map.
00:10:39Heavy D and the boy.
00:10:41And his influence reached all the young people in the neighborhood.
00:10:45including the young Sean Combs who was at Mount St. Michael High School.
00:10:52A Catholic private school.
00:10:56He would knock on Heavy D's door every day to see if Heavy would take him to meet Andre Harrell.
00:11:06Andre was the champagne of rap.
00:11:10And he took the streets to Wall Street.
00:11:14The only entrance into hip-hop at that point was Andre Harrell and Russell Simmons.
00:11:21Into the corporate hip-hop world.
00:11:23Into the money.
00:11:25Sean had impressed Andre enough to give him an internship.
00:11:29And that was the beginning.
00:11:30I worked with Sean as an intern at Uptown.
00:11:37I'm a picture.
00:11:37I'm a blade out for you.
00:11:39When you thought of Uptown records, you thought of Heavy D.
00:11:42And I'll be sure.
00:11:44I can tell you how I feel about your mind today.
00:11:50I was the first number one artist on the Billboard charts on Uptown.
00:11:55And the first platinum artist on the Uptown label.
00:11:59He was a GQ nigga.
00:12:01You know, he was a real penny loafers type.
00:12:05He was one of them fly, light-skinned niggas.
00:12:07And girls loved him.
00:12:09He's ours!
00:12:10So nice!
00:12:12Al was dating Kim.
00:12:16Kim Porter.
00:12:18Kim is at the receptionist desk at Uptown.
00:12:21You get out the elevator.
00:12:22First person you see is Kim.
00:12:23And it was a beautiful sight.
00:12:28Everybody said that.
00:12:30You know what I mean?
00:12:30But when Sean saw Kim, it was different.
00:12:36And now Sean's always at the receptionist desk begging Kim for something.
00:12:42A date, a kiss.
00:12:44He put it all on the table for Kim.
00:12:48It was weird.
00:12:49It was weird in the air because everyone knew this was Al's girl.
00:12:53Al is hot as fish grease right now.
00:12:56Hi, this is Al B. Shore.
00:12:58Here's my exclusive number.
00:13:00Two dollars for the first minute.
00:13:01Forty-five cents for each additional minute.
00:13:04And Sean was not really, like, the catch.
00:13:06He didn't drink alcohol.
00:13:11He forbade marijuana.
00:13:12He did not like drugs.
00:13:14He had the Gumby and he looked like a scholastic dweeb.
00:13:19But Sean was so determined.
00:13:22Yo, I bet you I could get Kim.
00:13:24And he was like, nah, no way.
00:13:27Your weight ain't even up enough yet.
00:13:29But when Sean wants something, he's going to get it.
00:13:33It might be a couple of years from now.
00:13:35But sooner or later, he's going to get it.
00:13:38Andre Harrell, Heavy D, Al B. Shore, they had all the money and all the power.
00:13:45And I was like, I don't know what they did, but that's what I want to do.
00:13:48I got to Uptown a few months after Sean did, and I saw him being built into cool.
00:13:59We had to go through the Uptown flavor camp.
00:14:05I learned a lot quickly.
00:14:08Being in front of Willie Burgers on the hunt 45th and A4, being at the rooftop.
00:14:11The fashion, the walk, the talk, the attitude, the drive, the determination.
00:14:20I was ready to do whatever it took to win.
00:14:23The young Sean Combs during that time, he was so tenacious.
00:14:27You would ask him to turn Wednesday into Tuesday.
00:14:31He would set about doing it.
00:14:34First task we had given him was just go get a tape 10 blocks away.
00:14:39He came back in two minutes to something crazy.
00:14:41And I remember I was on the phone, and I looked up when he came back.
00:14:43I was like, how'd you get there so fast?
00:14:46And he said, I ran there and back.
00:14:49Right then and there, I said, oh, okay.
00:14:53Yeah.
00:14:54I did have known then that that was never going to stop, to run there and run back.
00:14:59He ingratiated himself to Andre and made himself very valuable.
00:15:04Something that you don't want to do without.
00:15:07Like, who's going to get my clothes?
00:15:08Who's going to armor on my tire?
00:15:09This is so convenient.
00:15:12Then they lived together.
00:15:15I bought the first million dollar house.
00:15:17Funny, that weekend, just before I moved in, he had a mysterious fight with his mother.
00:15:22And he said, I can't go home.
00:15:24I got to stay here with you.
00:15:26Pup moved in before I did.
00:15:30Andre is taking him under like a son.
00:15:32Andre is the very first patriarch he connected with.
00:15:38Sean grew up with the illusion of what masculinity looks like.
00:15:42My first encounter with Sean, I remember it like yesterday.
00:15:49My family, we rented the first floor of Sean's house.
00:15:54I was my mom and dad's only child.
00:15:55So now Sean has somebody to brother up with.
00:16:00We experienced a lot of firsts together.
00:16:05I taught him how to ride a bike.
00:16:07It was the best thing in my life to let go of the bike and him start riding.
00:16:12We fit so well.
00:16:14Sean was another misfit, just like me.
00:16:16But the difference in my household, my dad taught me right from wrong.
00:16:23No, Sean, Sean didn't have that.
00:16:26Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce my mother, Janice Combs.
00:16:36What were the primary jobs that you did to support your family?
00:16:39I did so many jobs at one time.
00:16:42I worked at the United Civil Policy.
00:16:44I worked at the Board of Ed in Westchester County.
00:16:49I drived a school bus.
00:16:51I worked in a baby's boutique shop.
00:16:54And he never knew this.
00:16:55I worked in an after-hours spot, too.
00:16:59I had to come clean.
00:17:01I needed to come clean.
00:17:04Okay.
00:17:08I made more money because the men thought I was very glamorous and I used to pour liquor.
00:17:13And they'd give me big tips.
00:17:16In Sean's house, there was Janice and there was Sean.
00:17:21My father's name is Melvin Combs.
00:17:24I didn't get a chance to get to know him.
00:17:25I was too young.
00:17:26My father would have his brains blown out, like, on Central Park West.
00:17:31I did the research.
00:17:33They said my mother had brought me to the funeral on a full-length chinchilla.
00:17:38It was like a sigh of relief, you know what I'm saying?
00:17:43Because I finally knew that what I was feeling was true, you know what I'm saying?
00:17:46That I was a son of a hustler or a gangster.
00:17:50Melvin's presence was there.
00:17:52His money was there.
00:17:53And I understood that Melvin made a lot of things possible.
00:17:59But Sean's mom was his everything.
00:18:02If you look at some of the early pictures that Janice has of Sean, she was always making him into something.
00:18:14The hats, fur coats.
00:18:18I think she tried to overcompensate for the father being gone by making him into this dandy.
00:18:27Everything associated with Sean was Harlem.
00:18:34Whoever was flying Harlem, that's what he was as a child.
00:18:38Janice, she'd always be in Harlem.
00:18:41And there were times where she'd bring us.
00:18:46Here we are in this brand new Cadillac, because that's all Janice drove.
00:18:51She's making stops.
00:18:53Here and there.
00:18:54You know, are we new to rule, to drill?
00:18:55Just sit there, I'll be right back.
00:18:57She ain't turn the car off.
00:18:59Nobody took the car.
00:19:01Mm-hmm.
00:19:02Nah.
00:19:03So you knew there was a different vibe going on with this family.
00:19:07In his household, the groove was a little different.
00:19:13A lot of Donna Summer playing.
00:19:16And then we had these movies we'd watch.
00:19:18This got to be number one.
00:19:20This genre of films called black exploitation.
00:19:23Superdue.
00:19:24You had Superfly.
00:19:25Superfly.
00:19:26Superfly.
00:19:27You had the Mac.
00:19:28When you got nothing, you want everything.
00:19:31You got to get to be the Mac.
00:19:34Their parts were hustler parts.
00:19:37In Sean's household, you start to see all the stuff that you saw in the movies.
00:19:45Janice knew how to throw a party.
00:19:47Janice knew how to throw a party.
00:19:50And the party's packed.
00:19:52You got ladies that look like they're straight out of a Jet magazine.
00:19:56Some brothers up there.
00:19:58You know, if you want to call them pimps, you can.
00:20:00If you want to call them hustlers, you can.
00:20:02You got a member of the New York Knicks or two.
00:20:06There was a stage in her living room.
00:20:11Literally a stage.
00:20:13And that's where we used to have to go and dance.
00:20:17And everybody's calling you baby.
00:20:19And everybody's saying, do that dance.
00:20:21And all of this stuff he's taken in.
00:20:35So from the movie screen to the home screen, these are the makings of Sean Combs.
00:20:43Now, mind you, as a child, Sean was goofy.
00:20:46Kids would pick on him a lot around the block.
00:20:48And he didn't know how to defend himself.
00:20:53Sean was a prince.
00:20:55And Janice, she didn't want no princess.
00:20:59She held back nothing.
00:21:01You've said I would be 12 years old.
00:21:04And sometimes I'd be out until 3, 4 in the morning.
00:21:07James, James, we don't have to get into that right now.
00:21:11Ma'am?
00:21:12Got a lot of beatings, too.
00:21:15His beatings made me scared.
00:21:18Right?
00:21:21I got beatings now.
00:21:24But when he got his beatings, it wasn't no...
00:21:28It wasn't a choking thing.
00:21:30No.
00:21:33Damn, I hate thinking about that, man.
00:21:35My mother was, I guess, raising me for the real world.
00:21:42She was always told me if somebody hit me, make sure I hit them back harder.
00:21:45Make sure they never hit me again.
00:21:47Make sure I fucked them up.
00:21:48You know how you hear your mom's voice in your ear.
00:21:54Boy?
00:21:55You better...
00:21:57Boy?
00:22:00Sean started fighting.
00:22:01He started stepping up.
00:22:02But Sean don't fight like this.
00:22:06Sean's gonna bite you.
00:22:08He's gonna eat your ear off.
00:22:10He's gonna cut your neck open with his mouth.
00:22:13He's not losing.
00:22:14I know people are shaped by pain, as well as by love.
00:22:24And if there's more pain than love, watch out.
00:22:30There's gonna be pain that you're gonna give others.
00:22:33Because you're responding to that pain that you just can't see cut out of you.
00:22:51I didn't know much about him.
00:22:53I know that he had a big ego.
00:22:58I met him around 89, 90.
00:23:01My job was to promote music videos.
00:23:05And Puffy, he was always doing the party promotions, so he's always, like, handing out the flyers.
00:23:11At the time, I was working with Andre Harrell.
00:23:13He wasn't paying me enough, so I had to promote parties on the side, which was all good.
00:23:17Right, right.
00:23:18Daddy's house.
00:23:19He was savvy enough to promote parties.
00:23:22They were the most successful parties at that time.
00:23:25But they were all about promoting himself.
00:23:28One of the brothers that put the party together.
00:23:30My man.
00:23:31Puffy's daddy.
00:23:32Really, it was no problem, because all my black brothers and sisters came together.
00:23:35Like my man, tell you, fresh.
00:23:36All the beautiful women out here, we came together just to have a good time.
00:23:39I went to a party for a good friend.
00:23:46It was getting very late.
00:23:47Puffy's like, oh, you know, I'm having an after-party at Andre Harrell's house.
00:23:57Andre Harrell wasn't there.
00:23:58He was out of town.
00:23:58People were tracking mud through the house, and I remember at the end of the night, I was helping clean up the mud.
00:24:09And Puffy's like, Puffy's like, very polite, you know, and thanking me for helping him.
00:24:16And he asked me, oh, wow, I just got this call, you know, someone, this girl backed out of this music video.
00:24:21You know, can you do it?
00:24:23And I was like, I don't do music videos.
00:24:28But this party was in New Jersey, and I needed a ride back to Manhattan.
00:24:33So I went along.
00:24:39And I never figured I had the same clothes on that I had from the night before.
00:24:45The music video was called Straight From The Soul by Finesse and Sinkwiss.
00:24:52The whole premise was for me to jump out the car and go with these girls and get away from the pimp guy.
00:24:59Nice clothes in a car doesn't make you a star.
00:25:02You can't talk positive and do the opposite, because then you're like, well, I'm a fan of a hypocrite.
00:25:07You can't be righteous, throw a party to flip.
00:25:09Sniff and snort, drink and drive and hide your sister strip.
00:25:11You know what that looks like to your people?
00:25:13A bacon scrape.
00:25:14Dying sisters don't want to look you in your face.
00:25:16Wanting to be a pimp, brother?
00:25:18Your heart ain't that cold.
00:25:19And it's just straight from the soul.
00:25:21Was there ever a time that Sean Combs sexually assaulted you?
00:25:35Yes.
00:25:36Someone called me up and told me that, um, he said, you know, he has, you know, video.
00:25:45And I was like, what?
00:25:47And that's when he, um, described it and explained it.
00:25:52I just want to say this.
00:26:13This thing was incredibly devastating to my family.
00:26:19My mother, she's a social worker.
00:26:22We don't have money.
00:26:25The thing that we had was our pride.
00:26:33We carried ourselves well.
00:26:39We were pretty.
00:26:40We were intelligent.
00:26:42This is the basis of what I had.
00:26:46Self-respect.
00:26:49My mother wrote a letter to Combs' parents.
00:26:55I just found this recently.
00:27:00Can I read it?
00:27:03Dear Mr. and Mrs. Combs,
00:27:08I'm writing you to inform you of something that your son did to my daughter.
00:27:18One weekend while visiting my daughter,
00:27:21I awoke to her screaming in the middle of the night.
00:27:25She told me that she was dreaming about Puffy.
00:27:29I asked her why she was screaming and who is this Puffy person that he would cause her to have nightmares.
00:27:40I was shocked and mortified to hear her story.
00:27:45She told me that several people have come to her to inform her that your son has made an obscene videotape of her.
00:27:54Without her knowledge, he videotaped him doing something sexual to her.
00:28:04Apparently, your son shows these tapes at parties on large screen televisions.
00:28:10I realize that this may be hard for you to believe, but if I hadn't heard this story from my daughter's own mouth
00:28:20and looked into her eyes, I would have scarcely believed that any individual
00:28:26would compromise another person's dignity in this manner.
00:28:31I approached a lot of people for help.
00:28:46I got things like, what do you want me to do about it?
00:28:51To, if I help you, I can't get into his parties.
00:28:55I got Puff Daddy from Puff Daddy's house.
00:29:00What's up?
00:29:01What's up?
00:29:01And we revolutionized the hip-hop club scene this year.
00:29:08Why would you want to do that?
00:29:11Drug and rape the girl, tape it, and then put it up on the screen?
00:29:19Here's my theory.
00:29:20Alpo Martinez, drug lord, famous Harlem street, tough guy, hung out at the rooftop.
00:29:31Once again, I'd like to welcome you and yours in the rooftop.
00:29:34Alpo would have a lot of girls, and he would tape girls that he was having sex with.
00:29:40And then on a Saturday night, he might bring his camera and put it on the wall.
00:29:45And everyone knows that so-and-so's girl.
00:29:48What Sean saw was, I want to be looked upon in that way, as someone that has that type
00:30:00of stature.
00:30:02All his life, he's been trying to honor a man.
00:30:06He believed it was a famous Harlem gangster.
00:30:10And that gave his father a mythic presence.
00:30:14People like Alpo, he looked at those guys with a certain amount of jealousy or envy, a certain
00:30:22amount of respect, and there's a certain amount of desire.
00:30:28That thing was in him from there.
00:30:30Did you ever confront Sean about him?
00:30:39I did.
00:30:41I avoided him for a very long time.
00:30:45I ran into him one day.
00:30:48He came to me.
00:30:50He got on his knees and swore he did not do this thing to me.
00:30:56And denied it.
00:31:05And that was the very last time I talked to him.
00:31:09We fucking did it.
00:31:10Let's go.
00:31:11The key to the city.
00:31:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:13When I think back in terms of his rise, it is the most helpless feeling.
00:31:22I was always nauseous when I saw his image.
00:31:29The one image in Times Square where he's holding his fist up.
00:31:37When I saw it, I vomited right there on the street.
00:31:41You are really raising your hand at victory, and I'm living in trauma and defeat.
00:31:47It's a new legal travel for Sean Diddy.
00:32:06Another new lawsuit.
00:32:08Sexual assault, sex trafficking, and drugging underage girls.
00:32:12Federal prosecutors in New York have interviewed numerous women who allege wrong dudes.
00:32:16This is at least the 10th civil lawsuit filed against Sean Diddy Combs.
00:32:21Let's take the blood, man.
00:32:23What the fuck else are you around?
00:32:26I don't know.
00:32:28There's a bunch of silly bullshit.
00:32:29Just silly bullshit.
00:32:31Noise.
00:32:32There's all those things.
00:32:34But it's like the legal system is doing it now.
00:32:38Because, like, legally, it's like I've got to spend money to go and get rid of this bullshit.
00:32:46Oh, yeah.
00:32:48Ain't got nothing left.
00:32:50Got nothing left going on.
00:32:54They ain't breaking me, though.
00:32:56How are you, boss?
00:32:57If you don't mind, want a picture, please?
00:32:59I'm not good with the camera, so I'm going to try.
00:33:06Can we see the booth photo?
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:08Nice to meet you, boss.
00:33:09All right.
00:33:09Y'all can hop in as a group, as a group.
00:33:12There.
00:33:13All right.
00:33:13Sean was destined to be famous.
00:33:18Okay.
00:33:19One more, one more.
00:33:20Yeah.
00:33:20One more, one more.
00:33:20I was just confused about that.
00:33:22I didn't see infamy coming.
00:33:24I swear I didn't see that coming.
00:33:29I'm 19, and I always like seeing people entertained.
00:33:34And I thought, you know, over the holidays, I just wanted to throw a celebrity basketball
00:33:37game in Harlem.
00:33:42I was at the game.
00:33:43I was on the floor.
00:33:44All of us was there.
00:33:45Every rapper in New York, right?
00:33:48Your MTV Raps came.
00:33:49I'm at City College in the heart of New York City for the Puff Daddy Heavy D's first
00:33:54all-time celebrity all-star classic.
00:33:56That was one of the biggest basketball games.
00:33:59If that would have turned out correctly, it would have went down in history.
00:34:07There were lines and lines around the campus to get in.
00:34:11There's no more room, but everyone still wants to come.
00:34:15We opened up the doors, everybody saw us flowing through, but then thousands more come.
00:34:35There was a thing in hip-hop called bum-rushing the door.
00:34:39People don't have a ticket.
00:34:40When they hear something sold out, they say, fuck it, we got to still get in.
00:34:42We're going to bum-rush the door.
00:34:45When they got to the bottom of the stairs, the doors didn't go out that way.
00:34:50They only came in.
00:34:51So people were stuck.
00:34:54They were just crushing people down at the bottom of the stairs.
00:34:59We were on the court, warming up the play, and then Dougie first grabbed the mic and said,
00:35:04there's people that are dead.
00:35:13Whether you need a regular star or whether you need the most regular person in here,
00:35:18you need to leave.
00:35:21And it's over.
00:35:22Sean over-promoted, over-hyped, and that led to a crowd.
00:35:37It was just like, oh shit, how did this happen so quick?
00:35:40How would people want to explain it?
00:35:47We need a lot of help here.
00:35:48There's a lot of people hurt and aren't breathing.
00:35:51Not breathing?
00:35:52Yes.
00:35:52I mean, we have a fucking emergency over here.
00:36:03We got a lot of people here dead in the gymnasium, please.
00:36:06They did?
00:36:07The death toll from last week's stampede at a New York charity basketball game has risen
00:36:14to nine.
00:36:16They was getting trampled.
00:36:17All for money.
00:36:18$12, man.
00:36:19What do you mean $12?
00:36:21Cost $12 for a ticket.
00:36:23One of the unanswered questions remains who's to blame for the stampede that killed nine people.
00:36:31Throughout the newspaper headlines, throughout the confusion, the finger points,
00:36:37pointing, who was responsible.
00:36:40Sean Young, in real time, carried the weight of all of that.
00:36:46my dream for this evening was to bring a positive program to my people to people of my age and to
00:36:55people in my community whatever must be done must be done to ensure that this never ever ever happens
00:37:01again it was the biggest news ever that's how he got super famous was that game and those deaths
00:37:11that's the beginning of puff daddy that's really how i started to become famous was through a tragedy
00:37:21he was holed up in a hotel on the east side him and his mother he didn't know what was going to happen
00:37:31and i saw janice question sean he's going into this music business thing he just left school
00:37:40and now this extreme tragedy has occurred she's like did he make the right decision
00:37:46and i saw him put his hands on her
00:37:50call her a bitch and slapped her
00:37:55he's not looking back
00:37:59sean puff daddy combs and sponsors claim no responsibility in the tragic chain of events
00:38:13that claim nine lives and injured the brass that afforded uptown its distribution money wanted sean
00:38:20out i saw andre fight and fight to keep sean in and he did andre arel puff daddy he's passing on to i
00:38:31guess his son
00:38:32protƩgƩ
00:38:33protƩgƩ
00:38:34yes yes
00:38:35puppy
00:38:35yes
00:38:36tell me a little bit about this man and why you like working with him
00:38:39because you know he's not intimidated by youth you know i'm saying he knows the importance of leaving
00:38:43the legacy behind because we need more adults out there that's going to teach the young such as myself
00:38:50i took andre harrell out to lunch and i said can i get a chance to maybe do a and r
00:38:56the a and r is artists and repertoire that's the guy that works at the record company that puts the
00:39:00records together and works with the artist i said give me a chance you know you you're making music for
00:39:06young people i'm young and you know who better to make the music than me
00:39:13we had a group back in the day they drove up to new york unannounced to meet andre harrell
00:39:20when we make love jodeci
00:39:24it's like a dream
00:39:25they sing for andre andre loves it immediately that becomes puff's first responsibility
00:39:32and they could go make jodeci
00:39:33what's in the future of jodeci hopefully to make hits hits hits
00:39:39andre put his trust with sean as opposed to the artist
00:39:46he told us i don't care who the artist is you're more important than them the artists don't work
00:39:52without you what would be the ideal musical setting for y'all i guess before in front like
00:39:57millions of people you know you have to be able to control everything i basically style and come
00:40:04up with the images and design most of the clothing for all of the artists it was him that put jodeci
00:40:09in the pants baggy sagging at the bottom the boots not lacing it up he is able to sponge from the
00:40:18community and the culture and package it and in the studio he did the same thing sean wasn't a
00:40:28producer where he can tell you you need a c here a c note or this is an f but he did have a good
00:40:35ear for what could be a hit let me give you an example let's get it going rooftop at the rooftop in
00:40:42harlem the dj brucey b would mix acapellas from r b songs with hard hip-hop beats
00:40:53and it drove the kids crazy at the clubs that's what sean did with jodeci on those remixes
00:41:00it was very minimal it was very hard beat and snare no melody
00:41:13jodeci's record started climbing the charts
00:41:18sean turned that into the blueprint for his special brand of a and r and then the next artist to benefit
00:41:25from that was mary j blige mary's what's the 411 was out the box
00:41:39the hat pulled out the mysteriousness it had a little bit of a darkness and moodiness to it as well
00:41:44all of that was groundbreaking
00:41:50he launched a female artist in a male-dominated hip-hop barrel
00:41:59who became an instant success and that created hip-hop soul mary became the owner of that sound
00:42:07so i was making the hits happen and the visuals happened in 1992 sean is promoted to vp of a and
00:42:20r and artists in development so my name is puff daddy vice president of a and r and arts development
00:42:27meant for uptown records which brought you the hits joe to see mary j blige heavy dean of boys
00:42:33father mc and you know on and on and on puffy had jodeci and mary j blige but puffy's a big huge epmd fan
00:42:45he was at my crossover video shoot and he asked me to do the mary j blige intro for the 401 album
00:42:52i did that for him and then all of a sudden we became friends i thought it was a general friendship
00:43:05until i see that this game is being played you got an agenda misa
00:43:13he was trying to court her after we broke up sean wants her because eric was that dude
00:43:25it was about i got her i won her over from him he had to have the girl
00:43:33and sean has a way about when he gets you he got you he got you and now you become property
00:43:44me and misa was just friends but he wanted to make sure that there was no calling and me being
00:43:52friends with that girl sean's jealousy it got to the point where he put his hands on her
00:44:00right outside of uptown records they're fighting in the street and he's beating her into the car well
00:44:06she's on the ground
00:44:12and people are pulling him off of her and separating her
00:44:17a year or two later they're still together and justin is born
00:44:22when he invited me to be the godfather of his first son
00:44:34i was able to push that in the back of my mind and say that was a really bad moment but he was weak and
00:44:42it was a bad moment does that make me part of a sean combs cult maybe so i may have been the first
00:44:54disciple believer
00:44:59and then overall protector against all odds
00:45:07i want to personally invite one more brother on stage responsible for my joe to see
00:45:18mary j blige
00:45:19daddy come to the stage baby
00:45:23at that point sean is on top of the world and his trajectory was only up
00:45:36i was just a wonder kid it was just something that they never saw before
00:45:41to be young and to be puff daddy it's just it's just like i felt like my dream had came true
00:45:54everybody now is looking for this kid because they all have artists that they have to get to the top
00:45:59of the chart what does that do to a person do you think i'm still gonna be like yes ma'am no ma'am
00:46:09thank you very much he became too big for uptown records i'm gonna be so drunk and high by wednesday
00:46:14eight o'clock i'm not really gonna give a but i give a it started to be some dissension between andre and
00:46:21puff andre was the king of the uptown castle of the empire he created
00:46:30and the intern was taking his place
00:46:33i remember it like yesterday andre called me into his office
00:46:42he tells me just like this he says dog i just fired puff i said word
00:46:48it was a sad day andre was like a surrogate dad for sean
00:47:00sean was really sick when andre fired him i'm talking about sick couldn't believe it
00:47:07and then sean called me and he said yo i'm about to do my thing dog
00:47:23the west coast had the hits that we wanted
00:47:53so on signed biggie in 1992 people didn't know we had to produce biggie's album for uptown
00:48:04he was an uptown artist so it's the two years big then yeah yeah b-i-g business instead of game
00:48:10right i'll tell him i told you but when andre fired puff they fired him with a caveat
00:48:16i'm letting you go but i'm gonna let you take biggie with you
00:48:23andre decided to sell us the biggie album
00:48:25but now we had to find a way to pay for it
00:48:33we were living on borrowed time i went about setting up the meetings
00:48:39we met with epic sony columbia and we met with clive davis at ariston everybody knows him on a
00:48:47first name basis clive runs a hundred million dollar record company called ariston
00:48:51he has discovered whitney houston carly simon aretha franklin and a long list of other pop
00:49:01stars who thrive in the world according to clive
00:49:06so we went to clive and we played a few tracks from his album and i remember one of the first
00:49:12ones that we played was give me the loop yes love love your attitude because the
00:49:17nigger play pussy that's the nigger and clive's eyes went like this i'm slamming niggas like shaquille
00:49:23shit it's real and i said wow you got the goods and i bought into his vision
00:49:29give me the loop give me the loop give me the loop give me the loop i named it bad boy
00:49:38because i wanted to go against the grain i didn't want to just make records i didn't
00:49:43want to just make money i wanted to make history
00:49:46i was at bad boy starting from the day that we put the llc together and sean gave me 25 percent
00:50:02in stock and his mother janice had 75 percent he did not put the company in his name to protect him
00:50:14from paying families to ccny and i saw from that moment on sean had shifted in his personality
00:50:25i didn't see any more of the mount saint michael teen sean
00:50:32he had become more like the person i see today
00:50:39we did a deal for approximately 10 million dollars
00:50:441.5 went as an advance into sean's pocket another 1.5 is supposed to be our overhead sean said that's
00:50:54yours you can do whatever you want with it but you better make sure my company's running
00:51:00from day zero i wrote everything down every day so i can keep track of everything i needed to do
00:51:06i ran all the money all the budgets for the company as well as a lot for his personal life
00:51:12and all that came with it i don't like the way you're treating me on me getting my second half
00:51:18i think that he had this thing with strong men and he had a thing with wanting to be one but not
00:51:29positioned to be one street wise but positioned to be one industry wise and they call that a paper
00:51:37gangster shit over i'm not paying nor man nor am i involved in any of that shit and so as he's paper
00:51:44gangstering he's also trying to street gangster too at the same time
00:51:49he's not from the street his mother did the very best to give him the best what's next give me
00:51:58something else what can't you do i can do it but now he's been getting beefier and beefier with the
00:52:04power from the music that's a good way to get your head filled up to think that you're just as gangster
00:52:11as they are now without even having to pop your gun off yourself
00:52:19now after all this time me and misa is still cool we were just friends
00:52:25but one time she just happened to be in my driver's seat in my truck
00:52:29and all of a sudden i heard somebody go and it's him
00:52:37he's steaming he swings on me so i'm laughing because i'm like
00:52:44he swung on me you're putting yourself in jeopardy knowing you can't work none of us
00:52:51so now i'm like yo let's go around the corner because because because because i'm respectful
00:52:56enough so he actually gets in the car and we drive around the corner so i'm about to give him the
00:53:02business could have got really ugly and he just said yo see now i want you to hear something real
00:53:08quick and that's when he played in the biggie smalls album yeah this album is dedicated to all the
00:53:15teachers that told me i never amount tonight the juicy single dropped somewhere in 94. it was all a
00:53:23dream i used to read word up magazine but biggie's trajectory was not zero straight to the top
00:53:30b he had a slow start very nervous at first
00:53:35at the time that west coast thing is happening so we began to look at what they were doing and
00:53:42tupac was like a shining star there's a song called i get around that song if you're like in a science lab
00:53:55and you're looking at something with a microscope and you're trying to figure out what it is and what
00:53:59it's made of that's what we did with that song i get around sean was just mesmerized by that particular
00:54:07song the structure of it the video and the visuals it showed the culture it's like let me dissect this
00:54:14let me understand it let me do it my way
00:54:19and the next single was big papa and that dropped and it took us over the edge with biggie
00:54:24i liked it yeah he was out of here from that moment on
00:54:35we had ready to die before it came out big has sent tupac a demo and we played that tape to death man
00:54:43we played that tape till it was destroyed and then pop got the phone call that big was having an album
00:54:49release party he said to us man we all go into that he was very excited for him
00:55:01i've never seen someone more excited for someone else's success as pop was for big success
00:55:08he thought big was dope he wasn't doping in him as far as he was concerned
00:55:27but he was the next thing smoking i'm a high guy from bed stop putting the swelling on your eye
00:55:33your nose even when i choke you you stop breathing when police come i'm leaving peace and love
00:55:43pop would take big with him on chores and let him open up for him
00:55:54pop was developing thug life this ideology of taking back our communities
00:55:59big was with that he felt that he resonated with it so they had a connection
00:56:07sean was insanely jealous of biggie and pac's friendship
00:56:15you know when i was around big i felt like he really loved me
00:56:19like i felt like if i left the room he wasn't gonna say nothing bad or somebody said something
00:56:24bad about me he would defend that he's probably one of the only people i had really trusted like for
00:56:29a long time there's a yearning for him to have that complete total control you're my artist you're my
00:56:42best friend you're writing this song for like 30 motherfucking days i pay you you work for me
00:56:52i make hits with you
00:56:57and who is this guy
00:57:01why do we need him in the picture guess who gonna win tupac was a very likable person
00:57:07all the women loved him being a rapper being a movie star
00:57:16for sean being a marketer you're a manipulator please welcome tupac
00:57:23and there's envy for people who have success fame with no manipulation
00:57:31puff is to me very threatened by pop
00:57:37when i reflect on how this all came into play it's a trail
00:57:47city college innocent lives got taken
00:57:53then it became the ability to get away with anything
00:57:58and then you circle in the fact that he has legit money
00:58:01then you have the antagonist tupac shakur
00:58:13all those agreements created the chain of events
00:58:18that started in new york and ended in vegas
00:58:23you know who was responsible for the killing of tupac shakur
00:58:40you know no i don't
00:58:46i think that sean now in my mature mind had a lot to do with the death of tupac
00:59:02so
00:59:11and
