Across four hour-long episodes, the documentary traces Combs’s rise in the music industry, from founding Bad Boy Records to launching artists such as The Notorious B.I.G. and Mase.

50 Cent said producing the series involved speaking with people directly involved in the events, including former collaborators and witnesses. Director Alexandria Stapleton added that the series also reflects the way society elevates celebrities, often without considering the consequences that come with that attention.
The timing of the release is particularly relevant. Combs’s legal situation remains a talking point within the music community, and the documentary gives audiences an opportunity to engage with the story firsthand rather than through media speculation.
