Sean “Diddy” Combs is denying he had anything to do with high-profile deaths referenced in the Peacock documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.
The hip-hop mogul filed a statement in a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal Media, Peacock TV, and Ample Entertainment that denies his involvement in multiple celebrity deaths.
"I was not involved in the death of Kimberly [Kim] Porter... I was not involved in the murder of Christopher Wallace [Biggie Smalls]," says the statement from Diddy, which Complex reviewed independently.
Diddy further denied involvement in the deaths of Heavy D and Andre Harrell, or involvement in an attempt to kill Al B. Sure.
Diddy also addressed sex trafficking claims in the statement.
“I did not have sex with, or sex traffic, underage girls,” he said, likewise denying that he used sex tapes to extort people.
Diddy’s lawsuit over Peacock’s Making of a Bad Boy documentary centers around alleged falsehoods and speculative conclusions that came from the production team rushing to beat competing media companies.
In the lawsuit, Diddy refers to producer Ari Mark’s comments to The Hollywood Reporter when he said that the team had “no time” to fulfill the “extremely fast turnaround.”
NBC and the other co-defendants have denied Diddy’s accusations, claiming that the documentary is engaged in matters of public concern. They also say Diddy’s federal case, along with many lawsuits and allegations levied against him, have already ruined his reputation.
NBC has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which the courts will rule on in the near future.
