Channel 4 Behind Doc On Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Channel 4 is making a documentary about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the disgraced rapper who is set to go on trial this year.

Lion TV’s Diddy: In Plain Sight will explore the world of Combs, from the highs of his extreme success to his abusive behavior and some of what went on behind the scenes at his infamous White Parties.

Having initially been accused of sexual assault and abuse by his former partner, he is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, with trial set to start on May 5.

The doc is directed by Gussy Sakula-Barry, (Loaded: Lads, Mags and Mayhem) and executive produced by Daniel Pearl. “The story of Diddy goes well beyond the horrific allegations against one man,” said Pearl. “As so often, it’s a story of much broader complicity by so many people – motivated by fame, money and power.
