Sean Combs: The Reckoning (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
[dramatic music playing]
[Combs] You know,
God told me to do nothing.
But you understand,
you're doing something.
Other people need to do something,
'cause this is ridiculous.
Y'all watching-- If you're us
watching this shit, you feel me?
So He wants me to do nothing,
but He's not saying
He doesn't want Justin to use his brain,
and everybody to use their brains,
and fucking, to figure out
whatever, whatever,
you know?
[dramatic music continues]
[Khorram] And then she says,
"It was great,
I loved every minute of it."
That's what we got to drop.
I think you got the atomic bomb,
I think you got the atomic bomb.
I know you, Puff.
I know you hide things well.
I know you bury things well.
I know you lie well.
Send it to us.
That's why God told me not to do nothing.
Y'all do it, y'all see it.
Y'all watch this shit.
You didn't think I'd ever get to the point
of telling people what you've done.
[dramatic music continues]
[Combs] I'm not really
supposed to be doing nothing.
[Clark] Put us in a room
with people who don't know him,
and he's the most powerful man.
But if you're in a room alone with him…
Check this out.
I know y'all have heard the rumors,
that I'm looking for a new assistant.
The rumors are true.
[Clark] I started working for Puff
in April 2004,
I was his assistant.
[ominous music playing]
My first day started off cool,
and it got… interesting
over the course of the day.
We drove around the city,
and he was giving me the run of the show.
You'll take notes,
you'll go with me in meetings,
you'll make sure my food
is ready in the morning.
[man] Hey, Diddy,
can we ask you a question?
[Clark] Later that night,
he took me to Central Park
with his head of security.
He said, "Cap, I wanna talk to you
about a couple of things."
[ominous music continues]
At some point,
Puff found out that I knew Suge.
My relationship was
with his baby's mother,
who is still to this day my best friend.
He says, "Hey, I didn't know
you had anything to do with Suge."
"Like, if something happens,
I'm gonna have to kill you."
He wanted to let me know
how it would happen.
"You will be in a dark park,
and there will be no one around
if this shit goes left."
"And I'm telling you, I'm telling you,
we gonna do it like this.
So you really understand."
I never told anyone.
I never called the police.
Anybody else would've said,
"Puff Daddy told me
he's gonna kill me in the park."
I think his trust came from that.
I had a lot of history with dealing
with addicts and intense personalities.
My mother was addicted to cocaine.
If you're dealing with someone
who's on coke five days a week,
as a child,
by the time you're 23, and she's dead,
it desensitized me to a lot of things.
Puff was a disorganized chaos
that I understood.
I have a reputation that I may be
hard to work with or hard to work for,
and that's the truth.
[ominous music continues]
He made me write a book,
leather-bound, How to Assist Sean Combs.
Good morning, everyone.
[Combs] Capricorn, out of anybody,
knows what it takes
to be successful around me.
[Clark] 2008, I got promoted
to be global brand director.
This basically means de facto manager.
[indistinct chatter]
[Clark] I worked for him till 2012.
And so I know him more than most people.
He's very good at mental games.
I'm the king!
[Clark] He's very good
at getting up under your skin.
He's very good at attacking your fears.
I'm not everybody else!
And he's very good at retaliation.
[ominous music continues]
[audience cheering]
Whether you call him Sean,
Diddy, Puff Daddy, or Mr. Combs,
he's always been in a class of his own.
So tonight… [laughs]
…he is the esteemed recipient
of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Get up! All y'all stand up for Puff.
Yes!
[Lil Rod] This guy is a real professional
at masking and lying,
and making himself
look like the greatest of them all.
This is my favorite artist.
How do we crown our kings?
[audience cheers]
[Lil Rod] Some people looking at it, like,
they're demolishing our kings.
They're taking-- Man…
What Puffy do for you?
He ain't did nothing.
[audience cheering and applauding]
[Babyface] It's an honor to present
this BET Lifetime Achievement Award
to Sean "Puffy" Combs.
Puffy ain't no king for us.
He's a monster.
-Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
-[audience cheering]
[man] Why don't you close your eyes
And be free, baby? ♪
[Lil Rod] It didn't really register
until maybe a year after working with him.
It's like, yo, all this was a plan.
[keyboard playing various melodies]
[men speaking indistinctly]
[Lil Rod] I got a call Puff was doing
a writer's camp for his new album,
The Love Album: Off the Grid.
So tell me you're true ♪
[Lil Rod] For the first two weeks,
it was hundreds of people.
[ominous music playing]
What identified me
and made me different was,
I play multiple instruments.
Out of all those people,
he asked me to make the album.
Lil Rod.
Lil homie over there.
One day, we got our headphones on
and we're working…
I see this guy named G,
I don't know his full name.
I see him, Justin, and Puff
go in the bathroom together.
Moments later, I hear…
boom, boom, two shots.
I'm like, "Yo!"
So I'm going through sounds.
I'm like, "This can't be, you know."
It's like, "Okay, maybe I hit
one of those gunshots on a keypad."
Uh, I see Justin and Puff walk out.
[ominous music continues]
I open the door
and G was in there just bleeding.
He was bleeding out.
You know, growing up in the hood,
people get shot all the time.
So immediately, I'm like,
"Yo, I need towels. Bring me towels."
And I just start patching him up
and applying pressure.
[siren wailing]
Ambulance come.
They pulled up three blocks down.
I'm trying to wave them.
I go running down, "What y'all doing?"
He's like, "We gotta wait
for the police to get here."
I'm like, "Yo, he's getting ready to die."
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Lil Rod] I got to get this guy outside
so when the ambulance come,
he can be getting in.
You know,
time is of the essence right now.
The police did arrive.
Puff said…
[music fades]
…"Tell them the shooting
did not happen here."
And the way they were saying it,
they weren't asking. Know what I'm saying?
[ominous music resumes]
I do remember Puff's security,
Faheem, was there on the scene,
just actually moving in and out
as the LAPD was there.
And he's like, telling us all stay inside.
Somehow, he was able
to make this all go away.
[siren wailing]
That shook me. I'm still shook.
The only time I've heard about
some type of shooting
in the studio where we all creating,
was Tupac.
[woman on TV] Tupac Shakur was shot
five times last night…
[Lil Rod] After the shooting,
Puff and Justin,
they walked out with confidence.
[music fades]
The next day, the reporter showed up.
We told him something totally different.
And they reported that and left.
[ominous music resumes]
That video was after I had helped him
get to the ambulance.
No one knows who he is, where he's at.
Uh, he just disappeared.
[rap music playing indistinctly
over studio monitors]
And at the studio,
everybody acting like it never happened.
Unfortunately,
if you want to make it
to something in this industry,
you have to work for certain people,
like Puffy. He's one of the gatekeepers.
Biggie, Biggie, Biggie, can't you see? ♪
The one you respect
Even when you're vexed ♪
Going nowhere ♪
But I won't stop now ♪
[Lil Rod] I knew if I finished this job,
it would be a good accomplishment
for my career.
This will pay my kids' bills,
and my bills, and my grandkids'.
So I just want to get right back to work.
[ominous music continues]
[rap music playing indistinctly
over studio monitors]
We're working
on this Justin Bieber song, "Moments."
I can see it in your eyes
In your eyes ♪
Na, na, na, na, na ♪
[Lil Rod] Puff wanted "Moments" to feel
like Michael Jackson's "Can't help it."
He had a bunch of people
taking stabs at it,
trying to crack the code and couldn't.
[Bieber on recording]
I've been patient, patiently waiting ♪
I've been faking for a long time ♪
[Lil Rod] I got into it.
I made five versions of it.
[Bieber on recording] Ooh, ooh ♪
[Lil Rod] And I played that song.
["Moments" playing over studio monitors]
He danced for probably
four hours straight.
Just to this song.
He's like, "We've cracked the code.
He did it."
He said, put me in the A room
in the studio tomorrow with him.
And it was at that moment…
[ominous music playing]
He flew me to Miami to work at his house.
This Lil Rod over here,
we're in Combs's Entertainment,
Bad Boy's Love Records.
I just thought about it.
We're making history, baby.
That's a fact.
Never lie to you
Life ain't perfect, we just live it ♪
Fuck what they say we did
We just did it ♪
God!
Miami was when
the relationship really began.
The working relationship.
But now, now, now, niggas
That's scaldin' hot ♪
[Lil Rod] While we're working
on this album,
he's recording everything all day,
all the time.
[ominous music continues]
Totally crazy.
Yeah, come on.
We're gonna do three songs tonight.
[Lil Rod] I'm on the yacht with him.
There's a song
where he's talking to Cassie.
He's telling her, please come on home.
[Combs] Never lie to you.
Life ain't perfect, we just live it.
You know, take it out. Take it out.
[Lil Rod] I just remember it,
because eight bars took us
probably seven months to record. [laughs]
Cry for you.
No, no, no, no.
Come on. Yeah, let's go.
Come on, champ. [yells]
-[Lil Rod] Cry for you.
-Come on, I got it. Don't.
-Yeah, don't do that. Ever.
-Okay.
Okay.
To the earth for your touch.
Ride for you, cry for you, die for you.
I'm letting all y'all niggas know,
if I ain't hot, y'all niggas ain't hot.
So I'm telling y'all,
y'all better get producing
some motherfuckin' "Sex in the Porsche."
I don't know.
Y'all acting, like, I… Y'all…
I could be motherfuckin' lukewarm
and y'all gonna be hot.
You don't wanna be lukewarm.
It's been taking me fucking ever
to get back to my exact tone.
Because I got so big,
I could hear myself rapping.
You know what I'm saying?
But I'm figuring it out just now.
I don't wanna be figuring out just now.
Y'all witnessing Jesus walking on water,
you know what I'm saying?
Or Jesus having a breakthrough,
you know what I'm saying?
Because I can only compare myself
to the Son of God, you feel me?
I didn't realize it,
but he was definitely grooming.
I worked hard to get those gifts,
those sneakers, those shoes.
[Lil Rod] You know,
he promised me $250,000.
He also promised me
a house right next door.
[unsettling music playing]
We had a conversation
about making me the producer of the year.
You know?
[Combs on recording]
Love, love, love, love.
I love you, Lil Leroy.
My nigga.
We bringing back
that signature sonic sound.
We gotta figure out how to touch
on some deeper level,
than the surface shit
we've been rapping about, you know?
[Lil Rod] That's when it began
to get a little weird for me.
Puff would show a video
with someone penetrating
a Caucasian man from the rear end.
I didn't really understand that.
But he telling me, like,
"Yo, this is the way to success in music."
And I'm, like, confused. Like…
You know what I'm saying? Like…
Is-- What's going-- Is this, like, a joke?
[recording beeps]
[Combs on recording]
Let's keep the frequency high, man.
Keep the highs.
Too much shit trying to bring us down.
[Lil Rod] I was told to go
to Booby Trap on the River,
a strip club in Miami.
They put me on recruiting sex workers.
They gave me the Bad Boy hat.
They would tell me,
"Yo, put this hat on, get some girls
to come back to the house."
Like, "How do they know?"
They're, like, "Yo, they know.
Once you put that hat on, they know."
You know what I'm saying?
The whole deal. This is, like, a routine.
I'm just, like,
"Yo, this has nothing to do with music."
It's weird.
But he felt like this is the only way
he's gonna be able to make this album.
[rap music playing indistinctly
over speakers]
-They would be doing these freak-offs.
-[unsettling music continues]
And it'd be Puff and Justin
in the room with multiple women,
closed doors, and lots of music,
and lots of drugs.
We just celebrating life,
you know what I'm saying?
-It's fucking Friday.
-[Combs] It's fucking Friday.
[Clark] I had prime Puff.
The man is, like, sure of himself.
Now you're 50-plus Puff.
How do you even take ketamine?
How is this fun for you
at 50-something years old?
Like, are you doing it
to keep up with the kids?
[all yelling]
[Bonds] It goes back to fatherhood.
You didn't groom them
to take over this company.
You groomed him to do
the same things that you doing.
And the sad part about it is,
you will never know if they agree
or disagree with they father
because they can't say it.
[unsettling music continues]
[Combs on recording]
Yo, Rod, party next door.
[Lil Rod] It would be the tusi,
the cocaine, or even molly.
We were all on these products,
whether we knew it or not.
-[unsettling music continues]
-[Combs speaking indistinctly]
[Lil Rod] You would
always hear people say,
"Yo, Puff got God eyes, or God spirit."
Or, "He always knows."
Like, people-- He built this perception.
I open the door and see, like,
four or five different screens
with a bunch of little pockets in there.
It's like, yo.
And that's when I realized
that this whole property
has hidden cameras everywhere.
He who had no sin became sin…
[Lil Rod] There were days we would party,
I would wake up
not knowing what the hell happened.
Some days, there was girls next to me.
Woke up some days, he was in the bed.
[unsettling music playing]
[Combs] I'm going on a love rampage.
I ain't hiding nothing. Scared of nothing.
That's the season that I'm in.
I would wake up feeling sore,
still not understanding exactly
what's… know what I'm saying, transpiring.
But this is me starting to understand
that I was drugged pretty often.
[unsettling music continues]
I tried to confide in KK.
Kristina, that's Puff's chief of staff.
And I thought it would be
more, you know, understood,
if I took it to someone
who's a woman.
But she was always, like,
trying to, like, downplay it.
[Clark] I think KK was
the worst gatekeeper he ever had.
Puff is the kind of person, um…
You know, the story of the two wolves?
Which wolf wins? The wolf you feed?
All of us were cognizant of the bad wolf,
but we're feeding the good wolf.
The good wolf, in this case scenario,
it's a history breaker. It's a record ma--
Somebody that's gonna drive
our culture forward.
KK, help me out,
because you in this too, KK.
[Khorram] Someone who's good
with the PR side of it too,
to get out there and spin it.
I believe that they fed the bad wolf.
Give me some real love!
Turn that TV off!
Just the energy just ain't right.
That's my life!
There's a lot of things
that happened to me,
I just don't even want to speak on.
You know what I'm saying?
[unsettling music continues]
-Day 145.
-[man] One hundred and forty-eight.
[Lil Rod laughs]
[Lil Rod] At that rate,
I had to ask myself, man,
how long you were willing
to deal with him.
[Combs] My nigga, Lil Leon.
His name is Lil Rod,
but I'm calling him Lil Leon.
You know what I'm saying?
He's one of the first draft picks
of the new Hitmen. You know?
Incredible talent.
Look at that nigga.
-Lil Leroy's hat.
-[men applauding]
[Lil Rod] You have to be strong
and able to tough this out.
[Lil Rod and Combs]
We are, we are, them niggas… ♪
I can still make sure everything
that I did on this album still makes it.
And I'm just trying to fake the funk.
-[Combs] And they can't ♪
-And they can't ♪
-[Combs] Fuck with us ♪
-Fuck with us ♪
But then…
[Combs] I'm officially done.
I'm gonna check on the billboard.
We're officially done.
[ominous music playing]
[Lil Rod] Right after
I finished the album,
they kept putting my business
on the back burner for months.
And it was like, "Where's my payment?"
[Combs on recording] Yeah, I'm on it, bro,
but I'm not gonna be able
to get nothing done today.
One thing you know about me
is I'ma always keep it 100.
-[crowd cheering]
-[woman 1] Diddy is back.
[man 1] The Love Album.
[man 2] The Love Album: Off the Grid,
The R&B album you can fuck to.
[woman 2] This is the first time
we're hearing music from you
in, what, 13 years?
[Combs] This is my love story.
Just me and you,
and we just locked in at 48 hours of love.
[ominous music playing]
They dropped the album,
and I was like, "Where's my money?"
[Combs on recording] Hey, yo, bro,
it's gonna take that time that I said.
A lot of shit got backed up
due to the circumstances.
Nobody's saying you're not getting paid.
[Clark] He didn't want to pay
the people closest to him,
because if you have money,
you have a little bit more bravado
about how you move.
He didn't want you
to ever feel too comfortable.
He wanted you to feel
like there's a carrot being dangled.
[Curry] He did that with me.
He enjoys to see people not having.
He enjoys to see him having,
and everybody else wanting and needing.
[Combs on recording] I don't want no,
know what I'm saying, problem with you.
You feeling I'm not taking it seriously.
I'm just telling you of the time it takes.
Just got nominated for a Grammy.
Let me make it clear.
I didn't just get nominated for a Grammy.
We just got nominated for a Grammy.
No, bro, I'm not letting you
get out of this.
Like, you gonna have to answer to this.
You know what I'm saying?
[Combs on recording]
Yo, my brother, are you all right?
I'm starting to get concerned about shit.
He was calling me, like, left and right.
[Combs on recording]
We trying to handle something, bro.
You actually sent me something
that I could take a certain way.
Like, you trying to make a problem
with somebody that don't want a problem.
In fact, I've never seen
my phone ring that many times.
[Combs on recording]
I don't know who's in your head
or what's going on in your head.
I hope your ass ain't bipolar, Lil Leroy.
I don't really like the way
that this shit feel, you know?
But I ain't taking shit personally,
you know what I'm saying?
I don't need no extra stress.
I'm prepared to pay any bills
I owe anybody.
[Lil Rod] In the time that I was with him,
two Thanksgivings,
two Christmases, my kid's birthday,
all they offered me,
offered… [scoffs]
…for producing this album,
was $29,000.
Twenty-nine.
Which I still ain't even got that
till this day.
[music crescendos then fades]
[Combs on recording] Yeah, Lil Rod,
you know, I never see
or meant nothing but love for you.
And I just would never be on the side
of some bullshit with you.
You know what I'm saying?
I just would never,
I don't even see you that way.
When I think about you,
I think about you and your hats,
and how talented you are,
and makin' me smile
and your fuckin' smile and everything
and your limp leg.
Nigga, don't fuck up the way
I think about you over no shit.
Over no-- Like, The Love Album.
Come on, B.
[ominous music playing]
[Lil Rod] The album had probably been out
a little over a month.
All of a sudden, CNN comes on.
In our pop culture lead just in,
producer and musician Sean Combs…
…accused of doing
such and such with Cassie.
She was abused.
She was a part
of the cycle of violence, physical…
That was the turning point for me.
[man 1 on TV]
One lawsuit updated just yesterday
by a New York artist named Rodney Jones…
[woman] Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones…
[man 2] …who worked with Combs
on his latest Love Album.
Jones claims that for more than a year,
Combs sexually harassed,
drugged and threatened him
while working on the project.
-[Combs] Hello, ladies.
-Hi. How are you?
[Combs] Good afternoon.
[Lil Rod] I understand
that I may get blackballed
or I may get people
attempting to take my life.
[Combs on recording]
Yeah, I was trying to help out, bro.
You gotta do
whatever you feel you gotta do.
I don't know what your lawyers
or anybody trying to do.
Whatever they trying to do,
I guess they could get out of my lawyers.
Everybody coming at a nigga now,
so it ain't nothing different.
[ominous music playing]
[Lil Rod] I had to tell myself, man,
it was time for me
to now stand up for justice.
Standing up for justice for myself,
actually stands up for justice
for everybody.
They actually go to the prosecutors.
This guy committed another crime.
And I would do
the same thing with Lil Rod.
Go to the prosecutors,
put a package together…
-Here's what he said.
-Hey, you shouldn't be recording.
[ominous music continues]
[O'Day] As all of the civil lawsuits
started to come down,
I had a lawyer reach out to me
in regards to
an affidavit that they had received
from a person that was allegedly a victim,
and that wanted me to be aware
of something that she had seen.
I was told it was an assault.
[unsettling music playing]
The affidavit says,
"On a very cold night at the end of 2005,
I am not sure of the exact date
because it was over 20 years,
I walked in on Sean Combs,
Puff Daddy, P. Diddy,
and another individual,
a tall, heavy-set, light-skinned male,
I believe he may have been a bodyguard,
sexually assaulting Aubrey O'Day."
"Around this time,
I had just finalized my divorce paperwork,
and a close friend
decided to drive
from Allentown, Pennsylvania,
to New York City to celebrate,
and had met up with my ex-boyfriend
and Bad Boy executive, Conrad."
Everybody wants to get
a piece of this man right now.
Conrad was one of my bosses at Bad Boy.
He was on Making the Band.
You gotta understand
where our interest lies.
The goal is to have an incredible album.
[O'Day] "We met Conrad
at Bad Boy Studios in Manhattan,
otherwise known as Daddy's House."
Whatcha thinking about… ♪
[unsettling music continues]
[O'Day] "While waiting
for Conrad to arrive,
I went upstairs to use the bathroom."
"I had forgotten which door
the restroom was in,
so I went down the hallway
and I kept opening doors."
"I opened a door that was not the restroom
because of what I witnessed
happening in there."
[music fades]
"What I saw as soon as I opened the door,
was Aubrey sprawled out
on a leather couch,
looking very inebriated."
I didn't drink like that
at all at this time.
I don't drink at all.
It's never been an issue with me.
"She was naked from the bottom half,
and she had something over her top."
"Puff Daddy was penetrating in her vagina,
and there was another
stocky, light-skinned man
with his penis in her mouth."
I haven't read the…
I only heard it
when it was read over the phone.
I've not read it myself. I don't…
Uh… I just… I don't…
I've put this out of my memory. Um…
[inhales deeply then sighs]
"…stocky, light-skinned man
with his penis in her mouth."
"Aubrey looked out of it
and was just lying there."
"I am 100% certain
that the woman I saw was Aubrey O'Day."
100% certain, this person is.
Danity Kane is more of a pop-rock feeling
joined with soulful vocals.
[O'Day] "I told Conrad that night
what I had seen,
and his response was for me
to mind my business
because I don't know
the dynamic of the situation."
Well, fuck, I don't know the dynamic
of that situation either.
Not to my memory.
[somber music playing]
"I did what I was told,
minded my business,
and went about enjoying my night
with my friends."
Even after I told her
I didn't have a recollection of this,
I said, could she be making a mistake?
I asked in every way
I possibly could think of.
She was certain.
She said, "You can come public with this."
"I'm gonna stand by you.
I know what I saw."
Does this mean I was raped?
Is that what this means?
I don't even know if I was raped,
and I don't want to know.
My name is Aubrey.
I'm from Irvine, and I'm 20 years old.
I don't want to find out any more
that that woman has to say.
If she made it up, I would be compelled
to take her the fuck down.
And you realize the burden that
that puts on my soul for the past year,
which is,
if I expose one person
who's got a civil lawsuit,
that gives Diddy and his legal team
credit to take down everybody else
as potential liars.
Says Aubrey O'Day.
Goes right back on my shoulders,
just like that.
The weight of that man and his bullshit.
I will never get up from under it.
[music fades]
[woman 1 on TV] The legal troubles
for longtime entertainment mogul
Sean "Diddy" Combs
have been building for months.
[woman 2] Diddy is facing another lawsuit.
Dawn Richard from Dirty Money…
[woman 3] …suing Sean "Diddy" Combs
for alleged assault.
[woman 4] Combs's lawyer said,
"These complaints are full of lies.
We will prove them false,
and seek sanctions
against every unethical lawyer.
-[speaking indistinctly]
-[ominous music playing]
[Combs] Media is the most powerful
industry in the world.
In this day and age, I do have to address
all types of things
that need to be cleared up.
Game time.
Hey, yo. You think we can hire an editor
to go and find all the Dawn clips?
You're an editor, right?
If you don't control your narrative,
somebody else will control it.
[man] It's a media war.
[Combs] You should say positive comments.
See, any Dawn Richard interview
where she speaks positively
about her relationship with Diddy.
She did a lot of interviews.
On the interviews,
they want to talk about me.
You know what I'm saying?
In the interviews, so we know
if we can track down the interviews,
-we know-- What's up, baby.
-[man] 'Sup, boy?
-You mind if I get a picture with you?
-Sure, come on.
-[man] All right. Let's do it.
-A video with P. Diddy.
-See, man?
-In the city.
-Looking pretty.
-[laughs]
[Combs] We live in a real-time world.
This case is gonna be played in real time.
It's gonna be played
in front of the public.
Billions of people in real time.
[man 1 on TV] Talking to fans,
taking selfies with them.
-Over the weekend was in Central Park.
-[man 2] Central Park.
[man 1] So he seemed like
he didn't have a care in the world.
Diddy was staying in Midtown Manhattan.
He apparently knew this was coming.
[music intensifies]
-[dramatic music playing]
-[woman on TV] Breaking news tonight.
Sean "Diddy" Combs has been arrested
in a Manhattan hotel this evening
after a grand jury
indicted the music mogul.
[Williams] The indictment alleges
Sean Combs led and participated
in a racketeering conspiracy,
that used the business empire
he controlled
to carry out criminal activity,
including sex trafficking,
forced labor, kidnapping,
arson, bribery,
and the obstruction of justice.
[man 1 on TV] After Combs was arrested at
the Park Hyde Hotel in Midtown Manhattan,
Homeland Security searched his hotel room.
[Combs] But what about when it gets cold
for two hours?
I wish I had sweatpants on.
[hip-hop music playing
indistinctly over stereo]
[man 1 on TV]
Among the items catalogued were
a prescription bottle
in the name of Frank Black.
And that contained clonazepam,
which is used to treat everything from
anxiety and panic disorders to psychosis.
A black fanny pack
containing $9,000 in cash.
You want to put stuff
in my fanny pack, King?
[man 1 on TV] There was also evidence
photos of another prescription bottle,
which agents say contained
two bags of a pink powdery substance,
which tested positive
for MDMA and ketamine.
[dramatic music continues]
But there was also an evidence photo
of five bottles of baby oil and lubricant,
sitting in the bathtub by the drain,
as well as two more bottles of lubricant
in the drawer of the nightstand.
There was also a Ziploc bag
full of Johnson's baby oil bottles.
[woman 1 on TV]
Combs denies all the charges against him,
and if convicted,
faces possible life in prison.
[dramatic music continues]
[man 2 on TV] Sean "Diddy" Combs
will not get out of jail on bail.
In the decision,
the judge said prosecutors provided
clear and convincing evidence
to support a risk of witness tampering.
[woman 2 on TV] They say just last week
he contacted a witness over 50 times.
[woman 3] Ms. Kalenna Harper
was the most recent person we know of
that he contacted.
That was after September 10th,
after Dawn Richard filed.
This is, um… I'll give you a breakdown.
[Combs] It's a Dirty Money crew.
-This is Dawn, as you know. Boom.
-Heya.
-This is Kalenna.
-Heya.
[Combs] And you know,
this is a special project.
[Harper] When Dawn drops her lawsuit,
I get this call at eleven o'clock
and he's panicking.
Dawn is dropping something,
saying all types of crazy psycho shit.
[Harper] No the fuck she's not.
-With your name all in it?
-Motherfucking God.
This broke-ness done got niggas
motherfucking acting like motherfucking…
you know when zombies get bit?
I'm gonna send you this shit
right this fucking second.
-What's she talking about?
-I'm gonna send it to you right now.
I'm gonna definitely need you
to go on the record.
I'm asking for a big favor.
I can't even, like, stay--
I'm in an investigation.
She's putting this shit in,
like, she's bugging. Bugging.
I never had a problem with this girl.
Nah, we know you ain't. I understand.
-Can you send something so I can see it?
-I'ma send it right now. Aight, look.
[music fades]
I read the 55-page lawsuit
that Dawn had just filed.
And I just…
My heart literally dropped on the floor.
[unsettling music playing]
[woman 1 on TV] Dawn Richard is suing
Sean "Diddy" Combs for alleged assault,
[man on TV] …sexual battery, forced labor,
and gender-motivated violence.
[woman 2] She and bandmate,
Kalenna Harper, waited in the kitchen
where many of them
appeared to be lethargic or passed out,
while Diddy and his guests
performed sexual acts on them.
The album is loco!
I'm asking for a brother's favor of life.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but like, a statement. Something.
Yeah, I mean, whatever statement
any musician you may want to interview.
[Harper] Granted, I'm dealing
with my own situation.
I am caught up
in a contentious child custody battle,
and now this?
[poignant pensive music playing]
The only person
I could call in the beginning was Puff.
Just trying to get help.
Like, I need you to help me
get more powerful lawyers.
I was like, I need 5K.
I can pay you back.
At the time, he was like, "I can't help
because I'm doing something else."
Whatever.
[woman] Prior to those phone calls,
you asked him to help you?
Yeah.
[woman] And he said no.
He said he couldn't help me.
[woman] Then he called you
to ask you to make a statement.
Yup.
And I was like, I said,
"You know that's fucked up."
"'Cause I needed you, my nigga."
[Justin] Kalenna, she's a big key.
Especially if she's with her every time.
You know what I'm saying? Like…
She gives the Black man's story.
They just trying to tear everybody down.
Like, just watch that happen.
And she was there.
It's not right.
You gotta figure out what you gotta do.
God told me to do nothing.
[poignant pensive music continues]
[Harper] So for me, it was like,
this is a prime opportunity to tell him,
I know you got that going on,
but I got this going on.
I want my kids.
I don't know why Dawn is doing this,
but I have to talk to my husband,
because anything I say…
[music fades]
…can fuck around and not,
you know, I could not get my kids back.
[sobbing softly]
So I was like, look, y'all can't call me
because you're scared to go to jail now.
Rush me to say anything.
I need time to think about it.
What am I going to say?
I didn't see that. I didn't.
But I don't want people to think,
I'm trying to wear a bulletproof vest
for Puff because I'm not.
It's just I'm not a bad person.
And I wasn't around that shit.
I don't fucking know what they was doing.
I don't know.
[woman] He'd been reaching out
to witnesses who had been subpoenaed.
They're able to track it,
according to the prosecutors, allegedly,
on a timeline where there were
some people that were subpoenaed
that Diddy hadn't spoken to in years.
But after they were subpoenaed,
he directly reached out to them.
He was actually telling people,
"I'm not to talk to you. Don't text me."
He knew what he was doing was not right.
[ominous music playing]
[Harper] I got some recordings
that I could let you hear as well.
[Combs] Baby girl, for real,
for real, no pressure.
You know, I just felt like me and you
was close enough like that.
I ain't never asked nobody to make
a statement, you know what I'm saying?
I felt comfortable,
and I feel comfortable asking you.
Because I know, real deal,
real, real, real, real dog shit,
if it's a nigga's funeral,
that you'd be jumping in my casket.
[laughs]
'Cause I love you, bitch.
'Cause you really love me.
I really do.
And you know how I feel about you.
But it's all good.
Sometimes, you gotta
put yourself and your family first.
And I respect that.
You know what I'm saying?
If you have any apprehensions,
if God don't tell you 100% to do it,
if your man T-Vick don't tell you,
anybody advise you…
[woman 1 on TV] Kalenna Harper
from the group Diddy - Dirty Money
is speaking out
in support of the music mogul.
"Many of the allegations
and incidents described in this suit
are not representative of my experiences,
and some do not align with my own truth."
[unsettling music playing]
[man on TV] Who's willing to cooperate
with the government in this case?
[woman on TV] Given who the defendant is,
what do you expect
that witness list to look like?
[music fades]
Hey, yo, Cap! Cap! Cap!
[Clark] I got a text
from the lead investigator.
You've been formally subpoenaed.
They'd like to begin the pretrial process.
They had talked to well over 200 people
before they got to me.
They were like, you kept coming up,
you kept coming up.
But I never wanted to tell you anyway.
I wanted you to think it was all
Bad Boy for life ♪
I answered their questions.
Then they say,
"Is there anything missing?"
And I blew their minds.
[ominous music playing]
It was 2011.
Puff and myself had moved to Los Angeles.
And that's the original thing, right?
-Everything's original.
-Exactly. Yup.
[Clark] He had a trip.
And Cassie came out and stayed with me.
That gave her a little bit of freedom.
-Is that 8mm?
-[Clark] Mm-hmm.
So when Cassie's stepping out, she's like,
"I'm gonna go hang out with my friend."
[woman] And who was he?
Kid Cudi.
Scott Mescudi.
Wake up the next morning.
She texts me. She says,
"Hey, can Scott go hiking with us?"
[music fades]
And I was like… "Ooh."
And then the hairs raised on my arm.
And I said,
this is going to be
monumentally problematic.
"He can cheat on you."
"You can't cheat on him, Cassie."
"I work for him at the end of the day."
"Now you've involved me by texting me,
'Can he hike with us?'"
[ominous music playing]
Kid Cudi goes hiking with us.
Totally normal day.
About a week after we went hiking,
about 6:00, 6:30 in the morning,
I hear a banging at my door.
[Combs] Let's go. Chop chop.
[Clark] It's Puff.
His pants are split open.
Like a maniac,
froth on the side of his mouth.
He has a gun,
and he's mad as hell.
He's like, "Why didn't you tell me?"
And I'm like,
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Kid Cudi."
I was like, "Oh, that's Cassie's friend."
He's like, "Yeah, fuck all this.
Go get dressed. We're gonna go kill him."
[ominous music continues]
And I'm like, "I don't want to do that."
He's like, "I don't give a fuck
what you wanna do."
He kidnapped me and we drove
15 minutes up to Cudi's house.
He went in with his gun.
[indistinct police radio chatter]
I was praying that Cudi wasn't home.
And I called Cassie.
What the fuck?
He came and got me with a gun.
We came up to Cudi's house to kill him.
He's inside the house.
I don't know what's going on, Cassie.
What the fuck is going on? What happened?
[ominous music continues]
She said, "Cudi's with me."
Then I see Puff
coming back down the walkway.
He was like, "Tell her I have you,
and I'm not gonna let you go."
Cassie, he has me.
He won't let me go
until I'm coming to get you.
She says, "Come get me."
He immediately begins
kicking the shit out of her.
She was just crouching
and…
he was just kicking her.
He never balled up his fist.
It reminded me of, like, pimp '70s shit.
Like, oh, you're not gonna,
you're not gonna touch her face
'cause that's where the money is.
Puff was like,
"What y'all gotta do is tell Cudi
to not tell the police it's me."
"If I get in trouble today for this bitch,
I'm killing everybody."
First of all, I wanna start
by saying I'm very proud of y'all.
You know, when I started out
on my professional career,
it's this fire, this passion
that you have inside of you
that makes you want
a better life for yourself,
where you put your ego to the side
and you're ready to serve
whoever your boss is.
You're ready to be there, be loyal,
and help take them to the top.
[Clark] He was so mad for not telling him
that Cassie was fucking Cudi.
I was fired. I went from being
in charge of the company,
to you'll never be a president
of any company.
[poignant music playing]
The kidnapping is, for me,
that's, like, the most detrimental thing.
I worked so hard
to be able to take care of myself.
And I worked so hard for Puff.
His life would've been over then.
He would have gone to jail
for kidnapping in Los Angeles.
But I protected you
because I had more love for the culture
than to embarrass him
and take it all away from him like that.
But you and Cassie
put me back in it after I was out.
[music turns dramatic]
The trauma that this case has caused me,
has been more traumatizing
than the first go around with it.
Because now
I have to tell you what he did.
Before I could pretend it was fine.
[dramatic poignant music playing]
And I think I did a good job of it.
If you look at my Instagram,
you'll see good stories about the past.
I didn't call him the devil
until Cassie finally came out
and said something.
[music fades]
[woman on TV]
The most anticipated trial of the year
officially underway in New York City.
[female reporter] Mom, how are you…
[woman on TV] Music mogul
Sean "Diddy" Combs, facing life in prison
on charges of
sex trafficking, racketeering,
and transportation
to engage in prostitution.
[dramatic music playing]
[crowd clamoring on street]
[man 1] They're saying
the verdict is in, y'all.
[man 2] Verdict is in.
-[man 3] Verdict is in! Verdict is in!
-[man 2] Verdict is in!
[man 4] We wanna know what happened.
In the matter of U.S. v. Combs,
count one, not guilty.
Sex trafficking
of Cassandra Ventura, not guilty.
-[woman] That is Black excellence!
-[pensive music playing]
Are you hearing it?
[woman whoops]
[crowd clamoring]
[male reporter] Janice! Janice! Janice!
Janice!
[pensive music continues]
[woman 1on TV]
It is a mixed verdict, if you will.
[woman 2] It's a mixed verdict,
but it is a stunning victory
for the defense.
-[scattered chanting] Freedom! Freedom!
-[man yelling] Bad Boys, Bad Boys! ♪
[female juror] When we were
in the deliberation room
and we've come to an agreement,
and we're only saying
that he's guilty for these two counts,
my words exactly were, "Oh, S-H-I-T."
[woman] Do you think
that justice was served?
[Juror 75] 100 percent.
We saw both sides of it,
and we came with our conclusions.
Today's a great victory.
It's a great victory for Sean Combs.
[man] Bad Boys… ♪
[Agnifilo] Today is a win.
[Burrowes] I wasn't shocked
by the verdict.
He knows how to control the narrative
or change the narrative
by throwing money at it.
[dramatic music playing]
Sean threw good money
towards a bad situation that he was in.
And he threw a lot of it
at that situation.
Eight lawyers.
[woman on TV] Combs's legal team,
which has been dubbed "The Dream Team,"
it's a multimillion-dollar
group of lawyers…
We had a wonderful jury.
They listened to every word,
and they got the situation right.
I'm not a rapper,
music lover, or anything,
so I need zero knowledge about him.
I am of that generation
who basically grew up
listening to, um,
the music that he was involved in.
From Biggie to 112.
I even like Day26.
I wasn't a personal fan of his,
but in general, the music.
[Burrowes] Twelve jurors
looking at a celebrity for the first time…
[crowd chattering excitedly]
…up close and personal,
in a unique situation where they have
the power over that celebrity.
[pensive music playing]
It's easy for him
to play on people's consciousness,
on their opinion of him,
on their thoughts of him,
on their view of him,
by just turning a PR switch on.
[Tells] In the trial,
one of the things that blew my mind
is I actually saw
a huge PR machine at play.
I'm gonna be at this trial
every single day.
I'm gonna be in the morning, so turn…
I was one of 14 members of the public
that were allowed in the courtroom.
It was a lot.
Other people from social media,
they were right there with me.
And I saw Diddy's PR team working out,
literally talking to bloggers,
talking to everybody.
[music turns dramatic]
[Combs] It's like we have a movie,
and you're speaking this language,
and, you know what I'm saying,
[Tells] Diddy's team
actually approached me and said,
"Hey, we wanna give you the transcripts."
"Every day we send out
a highlight of the parts
that you should actually pay attention to,
and that you might want
to share with your people."
Now, when that happened, I was,
"Okay, but no, thank you." Right?
You have to have some sort of comms
to constantly be pushing that, Marc.
You have to.
This is a ten-year relationship,
and it was adults and consensual,
and everybody who was there
wanted to be there.
'Cause you may just be a person
that just does-- You just may watch CNN.
You know? And there's, like,
nine billion people in the world.
And seven billion of them is on Instagram
and TikTok.
And so you have…
Y'all at the wrong place looking to see
what the possible jurors are thinking.
[dramatic music continues]
[Tells] In the lunchroom,
Diddy's PR team was holding court.
I saw them with a lot of bloggers,
Instagram, TikTokers.
Every day they would convene.
They would be whispering back and forth.
[music fades]
And I literally saw
how something would happen in court,
and the same group of people
that were like "this" with Diddy's PR,
they were reporting
their version of events.
[tense pensive music playing]
And it spread everywhere.
[man on TV]
You got a jury that's not sequestered.
They're gonna be going home every night,
and this will be all over social media.
[Burrowes] When they did not
sequester the jurors,
I was like, this can turn upside down
by the end of the trial.
Because I knew
there would be a way in for him.
-They got it out for him, so…
-[man] Am I tripping?
Cassie takes absolutely
zero accountability.
Cassie was pretty much the ringleader.
That bitch was going back
to the freak off.
Baby, you went back.
Being freaky is not a crime.
Diddy will have
that motherfucking jury questioning
everything they fucking see
with they damn eyes.
[music fades]
For me, staying out of social media
and things wasn't difficult.
But, um, some people I know
were, like, feening
to get back on to Instagram,
or like, "Oh, my gosh,
I have to check my X, Y, Z."
[pensive music playing]
It's funny because you would hear rumors
that something happened in court.
And we're like, "What?
That didn't happen. What do you mean?"
[crowd chattering indistinctly]
[man] The jurors
definitely started to feel
that there was a major shift in tone
and energy towards…
[woman on TV] Closing arguments,
they were saying things like,
this was a modern-day love story.
[woman] You didn't see any force, fraud,
or coercion between Cassie and Sean?
That was a very,
very interesting relationship.
Two people in love,
you know, they are like overly in love.
You cannot explain.
She wanted to be with him.
He took her for granted.
He never thought that she'd leave.
So it's like both hands clapping together.
You cannot clap with one hand.
Both hands, like this,
then you get the noise.
[woman] Do you believe
that Sean Combs is a violent person?
Based on that Intercontinental video,
he can be.
[unsettling music playing]
Unforgivable, honestly.
You can't beat that small girl like that,
the way he did.
[woman on TV]
The defense was smart to say,
"Hey, it's not against the law
to be a bad person…
[Juror 160] You can say he's terrible.
…My client is not being charged
with domestic violence."
[Juror 160] But…
[man on TV] He said he's not charged
with domestic violence.
Domestic violence
wasn't one of the charges.
[dramatic music playing]
[Juror 75] The very next day,
the following day,
if you see how
they're getting back together
and exchanging text messages
and like nothing ever happened.
So, now we are confused.
What's going on here?
He's beating her.
Next minute,
they're going on dinners and trips.
It's like going back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth.
[Agnifilo] Allegations of, "I was forced.
I had to stay," are nonsense.
She could have done
whatever she wanted to do.
That's my answer. I mean…
if you don't like something,
you completely get out.
You cannot have both ways.
Have the luxury
and then complain about it?
I don't think so.
[music turns pensive]
[Burrowes] He's turning a PR switch on
and turning it off,
turning another one on over here,
lighting a match for diversion over here,
and then you get people confused
about whether any of this is real,
or people are just
coming after him to attack him.
[man on TV]
Combs has really been eyeing jurors,
looking for their reaction
to all of the testimony.
[woman on TV] The judge threatened
to remove Combs from the courtroom.
[woman] At one point, the judge
did reprimand him for nodding at the jury.
-Did you ever make eye contact with Sean?
-[scoffs]
No, no, no.
No, we are not supposed to.
If they catch you doing eye contacts
or any other gestures, you'll be removed.
You'll be kicked out.
[Juror 160] There were times
where he would feel strongly, I guess,
for something and would nod.
But that's pretty much all it was.
It wasn't anything crazy or, like…
it wasn't like he was trying to sway us.
It was-- I think it was more
of just him as a person,
just reacting to whatever was being said
and forgetting where he was…
[laughs] …at the time.
It's funny because I remember that nod
watching Making of the Band.
Like, he would do that often.
I think that's just his go-to.
-Brooklyn!
-[unsettling pensive music playing]
If he felt it was something
that he wanted, I guess, approval on,
he would look towards us and be like…
you heard that?
Sometimes look over to us, like,
can you believe they said that?
In his facial expressions.
What the fuck you just say?
It was funny to see
'cause I had the same facial expressions
that he did at times
when it was something that,
um, someone said,
and it was, like,
"That didn't make much sense."
[woman] Like what?
[clicks tongue] Um…
I think the biggest one I remember
was when Capricorn Clark, um,
said something about being kidnapped.
[man on TV] Jurors heard the
emotional testimony from Capricorn Clark.
She alleges the music mogul kidnapped…
[woman] Clark described her relationship
with Combs as "complicated."
[Clark] Everything that I said in court
is mad real.
I said, I've been kidnapped with a gun.
My life has been threatened.
I've watched him beat up his girlfriend.
-We went to murder somebody.
-[unsettling pensive music continues]
But that jury, in there that day,
I knew they didn't believe anything.
I mean, uh, it's hard to believe.
It's hard to believe.
I think we kinda…
I think the whole juror--
The room felt that question mark pop up.
[Clark] I'm watching them
as they relate to him.
I think they all
kinda had a like for Puff.
Whenever they looked over at Puff,
it was like buddy-buddy.
They were star-struck.
I never looked at him once.
But every time I caught the glance
of him in the corner of my eye,
he would make me cry.
I cried a lot in there
because I was like, "This is a nightmare."
You look like
a fucking walking corpse, Puff.
I'm hearing some disgusting stuff,
and I have to re-traumatize myself
about what you took from me.
But what happened to you?
[unsettling pensive music continues]
[Juror 160] Capricorn Clark had a lot
of information that was very emotional.
She's remembering these events
more than a decade ago,
and with the emotion attached to it,
maybe the details are skewed.
But the problem is that
that just leaves room for doubt.
That's where her credibility
became an issue, I think.
[crowd chattering indistinctly]
They missed the nuances.
[music fades]
They get these highlights,
like,
he beat her for 15 minutes
and kicked her in the face.
Well, he had been beating women
since 1992.
And he was kicking them
when they were down.
-It's just not on film.
-[unsettling music playing]
It seems to be
"all of a sudden" with Sean.
And it isn't.
This has been a slow build.
Some of it happened before our eyes.
[woman on TV] The death toll
from last week's stampede
at a New York charity basketball game
has risen to nine.
[Combs] Whatever must be done,
must be done to ensure
that this never, ever, ever happens again.
And we blinked twice.
[man on TV] Puffy, as well as
the head of his security team,
are both charged
with second-degree assault
in connection with a beating attack
on music industry executive Steve Stoute.
[woman] Stoute and Combs have settled
out of court for a half a million dollars.
And we blinked again, and then we're like,
"Okay, I guess this is what's cool now."
[man 1 on TV] Sean "Puffy" Combs
was arrested here in New York today
on a gun possession charge
after leaving a nightclub
in which three people were shot.
[man 2] The D.A. failed to prove
that Combs was in any way responsible.
[Combs] I'm at, really, a loss.
I'm very emotional.
I'm just-- I feel blessed.
But you still have a victim road
that leads to Sean Combs.0
Some pretty explosive allegations tonight
against P. Diddy.
Fox 5's Julie Banderas
is at the courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
-Julie.
-Hey, Rosanna.
Well, all of us know
celebrities like P. Diddy
get dragged through the mud all the time.
But this latest allegation's so shocking.
Would you believe
they're accusing P. Diddy of murder?
[continues on TV] P. Diddy's been sued
a bunch of times before,
but by his best friend,
make that former friend, Kirk Burrowes?
He's even the godfather
of one of Combs's sons.
Yep, that's show business.
[poignant pensive music playing]
[Burrowes] I also am a victim
on multiple levels with Sean Combs.
I think out of everybody
that has a gripe with Sean,
Kirk is probably the most legitimate.
Kirk was the foundation of Bad Boy.
He wasn't the face.
But in the early days,
he was the foundation of it,
and Bad Boy would not run
unless Kirk was involved.
He really caught a bad deal.
[Burrowes] Not only was he abusive to me
from an employer-employee standpoint,
he was also abusive to me in other ways.
[woman] In what ways?
[inhales slowly] Um…
Sexually deviant ways.
[unsettling music playing]
I did not want to do it.
I didn't want to be around him
and take care of him
as he's SA-ing me and others.
I had 25% ownership of Bad Boy.
I worked day and night.
After I was fired,
I wanted to get my 25% paid out.
And I started to get things
together to build a lawsuit
to sue him for the stocks
that he had taken from me.
[woman on TV] Burrowes claimed
P. Diddy cheated him out of 25 million.
Today, his lawyers
made shocking allegations.
They even accuse him of ordering the hit
that killed rapper Tupac Shakur.
This is a terrorist organization
that uses fear, violence,
and the threat of violence
to take money from people
and put it in their pocket.
It was eventually labeled
RICO and racketeering.
[music turns dramatic]
I was the first to call it.
But I was looked on as,
that has to be a lie.
Right now, the judge did say,
this looks like it will be dismissed.
[Burrowes] After the filing
of the lawsuit, I did not succeed.
And then I was banished from the business.
For 25 years,
I was basically blacklisted and banned.
Next thing you know,
shelters, homelessness.
With Sean, sometimes you're humiliated.
[music fades]
Sometimes you're made an example of.
-Sometimes violent things happen to you.
-[poignant music playing]
Through the years, a lot of bad things
happened to good friends.
[rapping indistinctly]
[Harrell] As bottomless as the hole is
you think he's in,
he comes up out like a whirlwind,
like a shooting star into the sky.
I made the big mistake in my life
to think that when
you are championing someone
and taking care of them,
and you have their back,
and you are the holder of their secrets,
the betrayal came at a great cost.
And the way he handled me
was to erase me.
[dramatic poignant music playing]
[woman on TV] Cassie Ventura
released a statement saying,
"I am so scared that his first actions
will be swift retribution
towards me and others
who spoke about him at this trial."
People have asked, was I afraid?
I was afraid.
I've been afraid.
I am afraid.
[music fades]
[woman] What are you afraid of?
Powerful people do scary things.
-Bad Boys ♪
-[ominous music playing]
[Burrowes] He remembers
all of the people that said no,
and that might have slighted him.
And there's a price to pay for that.
[minister on TV]
He who never mistreated anyone,
and never stole anything,
and never abused anybody…
[Burrowes] He's devious, he's calculating.
Master manipulator.
[unsettling music playing]
I think in ways, he's soulless.
This shit is motherfucking history.
Last night, we was human.
But tonight, we're going to superhuman.
[Burrowes] And I think it's hate crimes
that Sean has perpetrated
against countless people
that have crossed his path.
[unsettling music continues]
[Curry] It hurts.
It hurts.
It hurts.
I hope he's getting everything
he got coming to him.
Plus some more.
He gonna get it all. He gonna get it.
The same way he gave it, he gonna get it.
Everybody had to go through something
with this dude.
Sucker-ass nigga.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Combs] When I was first starting out,
I didn't have no mercy.
If you live life like that too much,
I think your intentions
could get misinterpreted.
My intentions was
just to make everybody the best.
[unsettling music continues]
For everybody to eat, to make history,
and to inspire the world.
And I think I did that.
I don't want to wake up,
you know, old and have any regrets
that I didn't develop as a man.
I'm still in this movie.
And I just plan on…
I just know the ending.
And that it's gonna end
happily ever after.
