also affects like um you know everybody gets a little bit more comfortable and loose builds up a nice little sweat how do I address you you could call me love [Music] imagine waking up one day and the Very Foundation you've built your belief system on crumbles beneath you for decades Shan did he H was Untouchable a king among Mortals a figure that embodied hustle success and cultural power he wasn't just a man he was a symbol the Bad Boy Records Empire his billion dollar deals with Diego and Revolt TV his lifetime achievement awards these were

the bricks and the Fortress of a legacy that seemed impenetrable but here's the thing about Legacy it's fragile all it takes is one crack one accusation and suddenly the the whole structure collapses like a house of cards you see for years we believed in the myth of Diddy we wanted to believe in the fairy tale of his rise from nothing to everything A Narrative of grit hustle and endless success but now now we're confronted with a darker truth the allegations that have surfaced stories of sexual assault abuse and manipulation are like a cold splash of

water to the face and it's forcing us to ask what happens when the hero of the story is revealed as the villain all along this is the story of sha coms a man who Rose to unimaginable Heights only to have it all come crashing down piece by piece and like any good story it's about to get a lot more complicated Shan JN comes was born on November 4th 1969 in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City he was raised by his mother Janice Colmes after his father Melvin Earl Colmes was murdered in 1974 when he

was just 3 years old Melvin Colmes was a big drug dealer for Harlem mobsters and ultimately died in a drug deal gone wrong meanwhile Janice took on three jobs as a teacher substitute teacher and escort as an escort it's been reported that Janice would take her clients back home and have sex with them in front of biddy exposing him to adult activity at an early age which makes you think is this where the idea of freak offs subconsciously came to Diddy furthermore upon looking at the dynamic of Janice and Diddy on camera it does make

you think if this is a normal mother and son relationship over the years col has gone by various names including puffy Puff Daddy P Diddy Diddy and love which he legally made his middle name in 20121 he earned the nickname puffy in high school because of his habit of puffing out his chest to make his body seem bigger Colmes majored in Business Administration at Howard University producing weekly dance parties and running an airport shuttle service while attending classes he dropped out to pursue an internship at Uptown records which led to a talent director position comes

repeatedly Rose to the level of vice president and had success producing several key artists for Uptown but left the company in the early 1990s due to being fired from Andre Harold I let puff go for the whole time he was like go he was always on payroll I never stopped paying him until he found his next spot his artists were always still getting predm cuz I didn't do it to hurt him but I knew it was time for him to grow in 1993 col started his own record company Bad Boy Records I named the bad

boy cuz I want to go against the grain anytime you go against the grain they consider you like kind of bad nothing negative nothing like hardcore just I didn't want to be regular I didn't want to just make records I didn't want to just make money I wanted to make history and here's the thing Bad Boy Records wasn't just a record label it was a revolution Colmes had this Vision to reshape the sound of hip-hop and with Biggy Smalls at his side he did just that the hits came like an Unstoppable wave juicy big papa

Mo Money Mo Problems suddenly Shawn Puffy Combs wasn't just making music he was creating culture he became a legend not just because of his talents but because of his belief that he could be more than just an industry player he could be the industry it all goes back to one point so I have a dream a lot of times people see your dreams as they crazy you going for your passion you have for your dreams may make you act crazy um you trying to reach your goals for your dreams you're driven you know dreams you

have are so Visionary they may call you a genius but it's just I'm a I'm a dreamer I love closing my eyes and dreaming I don't I don't really deal with reality when I deal with with trying to work towards the future but here's the thing about Legends they often start to believe in their own immortality and when you think you're untouchable you stop seeing the cracks forming Beneath Your Feet as Colmes expanded his Empire fashion liquor television he evolved from a mogul into a monarch he wasn't just successful he was royalty he didn't just

rule Bad Boy Records he ruled culture every room he walked into every deal he made reinforced the idea that he was indestructible that his Empire would stand forever but here's the kicker what happens when the king forgets he's human when the power he's wielded so confidently begins to morph into something darker more Insidious when the Empire you've built starts to crack under the weight of its own unchecked ambition the answer to that question is where our story really begins because while the world saw Diddy's accent to power few were prepared for the fall that was

waiting just around the corner and trust me what's coming next you won't want to miss it [Music] success does funny things to people it's intoxicating like a drug one hit and suddenly you're Invincible but here's the Dirty Little Secret no one wants to talk about with great power comes great Temptation in Sean coms he wasn't immune in fact he seemed to be the perfect example of how power can corrupt absolutely behind the Velvet ropes the vi P passes in the red carpets there was a shadow growing around goes one that no chart topping hit could

sexually assaulted and videotaped 19-year-old Joe Dickerson Neil after going on a date with of her Joe Dickerson Neil has come forward as the second individual to accuse the music icon sha Diddy combes of drugging and raping her in 1991 on November 23rd of 2023 she filed a lawsuit in the Manhattan Supreme Court just before the New York State adult survivors acts deadline along with the allegations of sexual assault she accuses Diddy of engaging in revenge porn claiming he shared explicit footage of her with others in the music industry Neil states that the circulation of this

were allegedly too afraid to defy Diddy and refus to come forward her lawsuit also recounts an uncomfortable encounter at a work event where Diddy allegedly cornered her knelt down and insistent on his innocence Neil claims her employer witnessed the exchanged and later asked her about it the saddest part is at the time it didn't matter because of how connected Colmes already was in 1991 and 2 years later with the formation of Bad Boy Records Colmes was in a different Stratosphere and when you're making the kind of money that bad boy was raking in no one

wants to rock the boat not the executives not the lawyers not even the artists the brand was bigger than the people way bigger in Combs well he was the Puppet Master pulling every string making sure his Empire stayed intact until it didn't because you can only keep the truth in the shadows for so long before it starts crawling into the light and the light my friends is coming the cracks are starting to widen and when they do what leaks out is going to change everything what's good Diddy what's good Diddy no what's good Diddy he

an apology and a reported payment of $500,000 helped the charges fade away with Colmes agreeing to a single day of Anger Management just months later in December he found himself in legal trouble again this time with thin girlfriend Jennifer Lopez and rapper Shine following a nightclub shooting in New York they were drawing from their hip and I turned to tell my friend like oh girl watch out oh my God because there was really nowhere for me to go I was where I was standing there was a rot iron metal rail to my back there was
