A shocking allegation about Diddy and his mother, Janice Combs, was made in the 50 Cent-produced Netflix docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
Kirk Burrowes, co-founder of Diddy's record label Bad Boy Entertainment, claimed in the four-part documentary that the music executive slapped his mother in the aftermath of the 1991 City College crowd crush.
The incident happened during an event organized by Diddy and late rapper Heavy D when a stampede rushed the gymnasium floor before a charity basketball game, killing 9 and injuring 29.
In the first episode of The Reckoning, Burrowes alleged that Diddy slapped his mother during a heated conversation after the tragedy.
"He didn't know what was going to happen," Burrowes said in the docuseries, according to People. "And I saw Janice question Sean. He's going into this music business thing. He just left school and now this extreme tragedy has occurred. She's like, 'Did he make the right decision?'"
"And I saw him put his hands on her," Burrowes alleged. "Called her a bitch and slapped her. He's not looking back."
Elsewhere in the docuseries, another childhood friend of Diddy, Tim Patterson, claimed that the music mogul confided in him about being beaten by Combs. Diddy's father, Melvin Combs, was fatally shot in 1972, when the rapper-producer was three years old.
"He didn’t know how to defend himself," Patterson said. "Sean was a prince, and Janice, she didn’t want no princess."
The allegations are just two out of the sprawling accusations about Diddy, who's currently serving a 50-month sentence for violating two counts of the Mann Act. Ahead of his sentencing, in October, an emotional video was shown in court, with one clip showing Diddy by his mother's side while she was hospitalized.
In July, the music tycoon was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution after weeks of testimonies being made by his victims, like his ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, and sex worker Sharay "The Punisher" Hayes.
