50 Cent’s new documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning premieres on Netflix on Tuesday (December 2). The four-part series reveals several jaw-dropping revelations about the disgraced media mogul. Here are 19 surprising new discoveries.
Bad Boy Entertainment co-founder Kirk Burrowes claims Diddy treated the notorious mogul’s funeral as a reimbursable expense, essentially having the mogul’s estate pay for the memorial. After the documentary aired, Biggie’s former manager Wayne Barrow denied the allegations. Barrow also claimed that the story in the documentary that Biggie was involved in a contract dispute with Bad Boys at the time of his death was false.
Diddy was physically abused by his mother, Janice Combs. Former friends of Diddy interviewed for the documentary reflected how disturbed they were by the beating.
Some people who spoke in the documentary and were close to Diddy at the time believe he may have had something to do with Tupac Shakur’s death. “I think Sean now, in my mature mind, I feel like Puff had a lot to do with Tupac Shakur’s death,” Kirk Burrows said.
Making The Band’s Aubrey O’Day received an offensive email from boss Diddy while working on the reality show and Danity Kane. One clip she shared in the documentary is from a 2008 email in which Diddy wrote: “I will watch this porn and finish masturbating. I will think of you. If you change your mind and are ready to do what I say, hit me.”
Kirk Burrows says Bad Boy Entertainment was advised not to travel to Los Angeles following Tupac Shakur’s death. Biggie doesn’t want to go, but Diddy insists and cancels their planned trip to London. Unfortunately, Biggie was murdered a day later.
Male prostitute Clayton Howard claimed Cassie and Dee Dee collected his semen in cups for a year. When he asked Diddy why, the hip-hop mogul said, “I love watching her play with it and drink it. What’s wrong with that?” After Howard made the request, Diddy and Cassie never asked him for semen again.
Kim Porter is considered a “wife” by Diddy staff, while Cassie is considered a “w”
Diddy wanted to do business with Tupac Shakur but also felt very threatened by him. Tupac was not interested in doing any business with Diddy.
When Diddy confronted his mother about Diddy’s deadly 1991 City College campaign, she called her a bitch and slapped her.
Various speakers throughout the doc fear that Diddy will seek revenge on them upon his release from prison.
In the documentary, Aubrey O’Day reads an affidavit from an anonymous person who claims to have witnessed Diddy and another man sexually assault O’Day in 2005. Aubrey O’Day said she was aware of the allegations in the affidavit before the shooting but had no recollection of the incident. She went on to say that she wasn’t sure if she was raped by Didi and didn’t want to know. She decided not to pursue the matter because she believed her testimony could be detrimental to other victims.
Howard said they add GHB to the baby oil and will use 10 bottles of the oil over a three- to four-day treatment. Didi and Cassie have denied this in the past.
Joi Dickerson-Neal claims Dee Dee drugged and assaulted her in 1991. She said in the doc that it was later revealed to her that Diddy filmed the incident and showed it to people.
Dixon-Neal’s mother wrote a letter to Sean Coombs’ parents in 1992 detailing how she learned of the attack after her daughter woke up screaming in the middle of the night.
Howard said that if Tupac’s music was played during their threesome, Diddy would make Cassie change the music. This is the only artist Diddy doesn’t want to play.
Every year on March 9, the anniversary of Big Man’s death, Dee Dee and Cassie would fly Clayton Howard to their place to drink and party for three to four days while he had sex with Cassie.
Craig Mack was talking to Suge Knight about signing to Death Row Records, but he didn’t do it out of fear.
Kirk Burrows described a time when Dee Dee walked into the office with a baseball bat and threatened him. Diddy wanted Kirk to sign over his 25% stake in Bad Boy, and he put a baseball bat on Diddy’s shoulders, forcing Kirk to submit. After Dee Dee promised to return the shares, Kirk transferred the shares to Dee Dee’s mother, Janice, who owned the other 75%.
Kirk claimed that Diddy worked with Bad Boys to create a “scam” that hid everything that could make money and obfuscated the earnings so that artists would have to spend the next 20 years looking for their money.
