The docuseries includes “explosive, never-before-seen materials,” and exclusive interviews with former associates, friends, artists, and employees. It portrays Combs as a powerful figure who built a successful empire whilst also exploring his darker sides.
Director Alexandria Stapleton commented, “Being a woman in the industry, and going through the Me Too movement… When Cassie dropped her lawsuit, I just thought this could go a million different directions.”
She added, “This isn’t just about the story of Sean Combs or the story of Cassie… Ultimately, this story is a mirror [reflecting us] as the public, and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal.”
Curtis Jackson noted, “I’ve been committed to real storytelling for years through G-Unit Film & Television. I’m grateful to everyone who came forward and trusted us with their stories.” Casting and on-camera participants have not yet been disclosed.
