Diddy Documentary About His Life, Legal Issues & ‘The System That May Have Protected Him For Years’ To Air On UK Network BBC

A new Diddy documentary about his life and legal woes is making its way to U.K. station the BBC. 

P. Diddy: The Rise and Fall airs on Monday, April 28, and “explores the world that propelled Diddy to stardom—and the system that may have protected him for years.” It will cover how Diddy

“has gone from being the world’s biggest hip-hop mogul, to hemorrhaging friends and fans in a matter of months.”

Broadcaster Yinka Bokinni hosts the project and said, per Rolling Stone:

“My job is to tell stories—but never did I imagine I’d be telling this one. Investigating the alleged actions of Diddy has forced a spotlight onto the darker side of an industry so many of us dream of belonging to. We sang his songs, bought into the lifestyle, watched the shows and wanted more. This has been an emotional, sometimes difficult experience. And with a trial on the horizon, what happens next will no doubt be gripping—in the most sobering way.”

The network said Bokinni, who is also an associate producer,

“will map his extraordinary success and influence, and his far-reaching impact on music, fashion and culture—while meeting those close to him to understand what may have led to this very public disgrace. Yinka will explore how this case has been a significant topic of conversation across press and social media- with constant speculation and sometimes rumor. Taking nothing at face value, Yinka will unpack the interplay of power, money, corruption, and sexism, which underpins this story.”

It’s produced by Eddie Hutton-Mills and Amelia Ellis, and executive produced by David DeHaney and Rachel Harvie. Hutton-Mills is also the director.
