Less than a month after Netflix and 50 Cent dropped a much-anticipated documentary series about Sean “Diddy” Combs, the music mogul’s sons are planning on telling their side of the story, teaming up with Zeus Network for a project slated for 2026.
In a teaser for the untitled project, which dropped Sunday night, Justin and Christian solemnly watch news coverage of Combs’ criminal trial and reporters hounding their family with questions regarding accusations against their 56-year-old father. A series of words flash across the screen: “The rise. The family. The foes. The joy. The pain. Our voice. The loyalty. The betrayal. The hate. The highs. The lows. The love. The truth. The lies.”
Their thoughts are interrupted by an incoming call from Fort Dix, the low-security federal correctional facility in New Jersey, where Combs is serving a 50-month sentence for transportation to engage in prostitution charges. (Combs was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy in July.)
It isn’t clear if Combs is actively involved in the documentary series. When approached for comment by Rolling Stone, a spokesperson for Combs said they had no further information to share at this time.
The CEO of Zeus Network — home to shows like Baddies and Hollywood Unlocked’s The Jason Lee Show — Lemuel Plummer said in a statement that the project is “not intended to endorse, defend or vindicate Diddy.”
Instead, “this documentary series is centered on providing Justin and Christian the opportunity to share their personal story and lived experiences, particularly as their lives have also been directly impacted,” Plummer continued. “As a network, we believe in the importance of allowing individuals to speak for themselves, just as any credible network entering the documentary space does. Our role is to provide a platform for stories to be told honestly and without pre-judgement. What viewers will see is raw, real, and authentic storytelling. That is the essence of this project.”
Both Justin, 31, and Christian, 27, have been ardent supporters of their father since he was first accused of sexual and physical abuse by his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, who filed a bombshell sex trafficking lawsuit against Combs in November 2023. The civil case was settled within 24 hours — with Combs paying a $20 million settlement to the former Bad Boy artist — but the lawsuit kicked off a federal investigation into Combs.
The half-brothers were a consistent presence at Combs’ lengthy eight-week criminal trial in Manhattan over the summer. At Combs’ sentencing in October, both begged a judge for leniency. “I’m asking you, please, with the utmost respect, please give my family grace, please let my father out to take care and lead this family, please give him mercy and get out and become the man that we all know that he is,” Christian asked.
This project would mark the first time either son would talk publicly and at length about their father’s case. However, Christian has released tracks in support of his father, and Justin was seen in Netflix’s documentary strategizing on how to reframe the narrative around Combs.
As Combs is moving forward with appealing his case, he still faces a mountain of sexual assault lawsuits against him. Men and women have accused the Bad Boy Entertainment founder of sexual assaults dating back to 1990 and as recently as 2023. Attorneys for Combs have repeatedly denied the accusations, saying he has never “sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.” As part of the civil litigation against Combs, both Justin and Christian have been accused of sexual assault in separate cases. They have denied the accusations.
