Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has strongly criticized Netflix following the platform's surprise announcement of a four-part documentary about his life titled The Reckoning , set for release on December 2.
Combs, who is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence after being convicted on federal trafficking and racketeering charges, issued his reaction through a spokesperson, describing the series as a 'shameful hit piece." His team also accused Netflix of using stolen and unauthorized footage, including private recordings he claims were never intended for public viewing.
According to his spokesperson, Combs has been documenting his life since his teenage years with plans to tell his story independently. They argued that Netflix "misappropriated" material without his consent and alleged that producers relied on clips containing personal conversations and unfinished pre-indictment content.
