Diddy‘s downfall and legal woes are set to be explored in a new documentary announced by BBC titled P Diddy: The Rise and Fall.
Announced on Wednesday (April 23), the doc is set to explore “the world that propelled Diddy to stardom – and the system that may have protected him for years.”
Journalist Yinka Bokinni will host, speaking to people close to the embattled mogul to get a better understanding of the events that have unfolded over the last year.
“My job is to tell stories—but never did I imagine I’d be telling this one,” Bokinni said in a statement. “Investigating the alleged actions of Diddy has forced a spotlight onto the darker side of an industry so many of us dream of belonging to. We sang his songs, bought into the lifestyle, watched the shows and wanted more.

“This has been an emotional, sometimes difficult experience. And with a trial on the horizon, what happens next will no doubt be gripping—in the most sobering way.”
The doc airs on April 28.
Meanwhile, Diddy appears to have undergone a dramatic physical transformation during the months he has spent in jail waiting for his sex trafficking trial to begin.
Last week, the Bad Boy Records founder appeared in court to request a delay to his trial date amidst a number of late additional charges to Diddy’s rap sheet but the request was denied by the judge.

While no cameras were present for the hearing, a courtroom sketch artist was in attendance and depicted Diddy.
Going off the sketch, Diddy’s black hair had turned completely grey and it appeared longer and messier than usual. He was also illustrated possessing a grey beard and it could be interpreted that he had lost weight while behind bars.
Diddy and his legal team are yet to comment on his health while he has been held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

Jury selection in the trial is currently set to begin on May 5, followed by opening statements a week later on May 12.
