Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed a $100 million lawsuit against NBC, its streaming service Peacock, and production company Ample over their recent documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.
The legal action, filed on Wednesday, accuses the documentary of making false and defamatory claims about the rapper amidst ongoing allegations of sexual assault.

Combs, who is currently in a New York jail awaiting a federal trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, denies all allegations against him. His lawsuit contends that the documentary falsely presents him as a “monster,” with baseless claims including accusations of serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking. It also alleges that the program wrongly linked him to the deaths of former partner Kim Porter and rapper Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace.
Combs’ attorney, Erica Wolff, described the actions of NBC, Peacock, and Ample as a deliberate attempt to profit at the expense of truth and professionalism. “They maliciously and recklessly broadcast outrageous lies,” she said in a statement. The lawsuit seeks $100 million in damages for reputational and economic harm.
The legal action comes amid a series of allegations made against Combs in the last 16 months, including more than 30 civil lawsuits. These lawsuits accuse the rapper of kidnapping, drugging, and coercing women into sexual activities, sometimes under threat of violence.
Despite the mounting accusations, Combs continues to deny the claims, calling them “sickening.”
Earlier this month, a lawyer representing several accusers predicted that Combs could face over 10 additional lawsuits in the near future. Additionally, a BBC investigation published last week spoke to over 20 people who worked with Combs at his Bad Boy Records label, detailing troubling incidents from the label’s rise in the 1990s.

Combs has denied all accusations, and in previous statements, he has maintained his innocence, asserting that “the truth will prevail” in court.
He has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges against him. Neither NBC, Peacock, nor Ample have yet commented on the lawsuit.
