In a shocking exposé, former employees of Sean "Diddy" Combs at his iconic Bad Boy Records label have come forward with alarming revelations about a tumultuous culture marked by power, excess, and disturbing incidents during the 1990s. Daniel Evans, a former executive, recalls a chilling threat made by Combs about hiring someone to kill a colleague, a reflection of how success transformed the rapper's demeanor.
As Bad Boy Records rose to prominence with stars like The Notorious B.I.G., insiders describe troubling behaviors, including instances of Combs allegedly having sexual encounters within the studio walls, and corporate funds being used to fly women in for the pleasure of artists. The allegations have resurfaced as Combs faces serious criminal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering.
Former staff tell of a party atmosphere where inappropriate behavior was often overlooked and remained normalized. Felicia Newsome, a studio manager during that time, recounted her confrontations with Combs about inappropriate requests, emphasizing how common such misconduct was in the music industry.
Allegations against Combs continue to mount, as several lawsuits accuse him of drugging and assaulting women. With many ex-associates grappling with the disparity between their memories and the serious accusations now linked to him, the impending trial set for May 2024 is expected to unveil more truths about Combs' controversial legacy in the world of hip-hop.
