Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Disgraced US hip-hop mogul Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs slammed a new Netflix docuseries about himself as a \u201cshameful hit piece\u201d which used \u201cstolen footage that was never authorized for release,\u201d CNN reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Citing Combs spokesperson Juda Engelmayer, the outlet said Combs \u2013 who was convicted this summer on prostitution-related charges \u2013 had been filming himself for \u201cdecades\u201d for an eventual documentary.<\/p>\n

Footage seen in the new Netflix series was filmed just a few days before his arrest in September 2024, said Engelmayer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to find someone who will work with us who has worked in the dirtiest of dirty businesses,\u201d Diddy, now 56, says at the beginning of the trailer to the series Sean Combs: The Reckoning.<\/p>\n

Combs\u2019 lawyers issued a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix demanding the docuseries not be released.<\/p>\n

The Netflix series, produced by his longtime rival, rapper Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson, unpacks \u201cshocking allegations\u201d behind Combs and his Bad Boy empire, according to the series description.<\/p>\n

After being convicted in July of transportation to engage in prostitution, the mogul was sentenced to four years and two months in prison.<\/p>\n
