Sean “Diddy” Combs is attempting to halt the global release of Sean Combs, The Reckoning, with lawyers issuing a cease-and-desist to Netflix hours before the four-part documentary is set to air. The series, executive-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and directed by Alexandra Stapleton, is already attracting intense scrutiny due to claims it contains stolen and unauthorised footage.

Netflix will present Sean Combs: The Reckoning on 2 December, a four-part documentary series chronicling the rise and fall of Sean “Diddy” Combs, a figure whose influence shaped mainstream hip-hop for more than three decades. The series arrives during a period in which Combs is serving a federal sentence following his conviction for two counts of transportation for purposes of prostitution, a ruling delivered in July and followed by a sentence of 50 months and a fine of $500,000.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to four years and two months in prison and ordered to pay a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to federal assault and intimidation charges in New York. The sentence caps a dramatic fall for the 55-year-old hip-hop mogul, whose decades-long influence on music and business has been eclipsed by a series of criminal and civil allegations.
