Rapper and producer Sean Combs, better known as P. Diddy, has filed a $100 million lawsuit against NBCUniversal and Peacock over a documentary titled Didi: Create A Bad Man. The complaint was reported by TMZ. Combs contends NBC presented him in a negative light, asserting malicious intent and interference with his relationship with his former partner Kim Porter, whom Combs describes as the mother of his children. The dispute centers on how the film portrays their past and his involvement in their family life, according to sources familiar with the case.
Combs also rejects allegations of sexual activity with minors and notes that a civil claim connected to those statements was dismissed earlier. He maintains that NBC relied on false statements in the film, aiming to profit from sensationalism. The legal team, including representative Eric Wulff, says the defendants published and spread these narratives to cash in on public curiosity about the star and his private life.
In late January, court filings surfaced indicating a $50 million claim related to the legal work of Ariel Mitchell and the NewsNation TV channel. The filing adds to the landscape of disputes surrounding the documentary and its coverage in North American media markets.
Separately, reports indicate Sean Combs faced arrest in September 2024 on charges that include conspiracy to commit racketeering, human trafficking, and promoting prostitution. If convicted, the case carries severe penalties. The stories emphasize the gravity of the accusations and the potential impact on the performer and his business ventures.
Earlier coverage noted that Combs rejected an appeal by Ar Kelli, a defendant connected to the trafficking matter. The sequence of legal actions reveals a broader confrontation between the artist and several media and legal actors involved in the case, drawing substantial attention from audiences across Canada and the United States who track celebrity legal battles and defamation debates.
