Sean “Diddy” Combs is firing back at NBCUniversal and the production company Ample with a massive $100 million defamation lawsuit over what he calls false and malicious allegations in their documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.
The legal battle comes at a time when Combs is already embroiled in serious legal troubles, facing multiple federal charges. However, in this latest lawsuit, he’s flipping the script—accusing the network and producers of pushing sensationalized, defamatory content to boost ratings.
Defense Argues That Diddy’s ‘Freak Off’ Videos Support His Claims of Innocence
Diddy’s $100 Million Lawsuit: What’s Being Alleged?
According to legal documents filed in New York, Diddy’s attorneys argue that the NBC-backed documentary paints him as a criminal mastermind, comparing him to the likes of Jeffrey Epstein and even calling him the “embodiment of Lucifer.”
The lawsuit claims that the documentary falsely suggests that Combs:
Was involved in sex trafficking and the rape of minors
Played a role in the 2018 death of Kim Porter
Had a hand in the deaths of The Notorious B.I.G., Andre Harrell, and Heavy D
Diddy’s legal team is demanding $100 million in damages, calling the film’s accusations “reckless and completely unfounded.”
The Kim Porter Conspiracy: How the Documentary Reignited Old Rumors
A particularly explosive moment in Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy centers around Kim Porter’s untimely death in 2018.
The documentary features Al B. Sure!, Porter’s ex and the father of her son, suggesting foul play in her passing. Her official cause of death was listed as lobar pneumonia, but Sure claims that she was “taken out” because she “knew too much.”
What makes this claim even more controversial is that Sure directly links Porter’s death to Cassie Ventura—Diddy’s former girlfriend, who sued him in 2023 for rape and domestic violence before quickly settling out of court.
Diddy’s Response:
His legal team has slammed the documentary for pushing “unhinged conspiracy theories”, arguing that there is zero evidence linking him to Porter’s death.
Allegations of Serial Murder and Sex Trafficking
The lawsuit also calls out the “sensationalized and unfounded” claims that Diddy was responsible for multiple deaths, including:
The Notorious B.I.G. – The rapper was murdered in 1997, and Diddy has long denied any involvement.
Andre Harrell – The Uptown Records founder died in 2020 from heart failure, but the documentary hints at deeper connections.
Heavy D – Passed away in 2011 from a pulmonary embolism, yet conspiracy theories persist.
Diddy’s team argues that NBCUniversal and Ample exploited these rumors without a shred of real evidence, damaging his reputation beyond repair.
Why Diddy’s Lawyers Are Targeting NBC and Ample
One of the most damning aspects of Diddy’s lawsuit is his legal team’s direct attack on NBC and Ample for using unreliable sources to build their case against him.
According to the lawsuit:
NBC knew that Al B. Sure! had a complicated relationship with Diddy but still used his words as fact.
The documentary’s producer, Ari Mark, admitted in interviews that Sure was an unreliable source.
There was no attempt to verify the wild accusations before airing the documentary on Peacock.
Diddy’s lawyers claim that by airing these baseless allegations, NBCUniversal ruined his career and public image.
Diddy’s Current Legal Troubles: What’s Next?
As Diddy fights this $100 million defamation case, he’s also facing serious federal charges tied to:
Sex trafficking
Racketeering
Transporting individuals for prostitution
Combs is currently locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Legal experts say that if convicted, the hip-hop mogul could be looking at 15 years to life in prison.
His federal trial is set to begin on May 5.
