Sean Combs’ Sons Will Showcase Their ‘Voice’ in Own Documentary Series

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.

Billie Eilish Responds to Backlash After Saying ‘Eating Meat is Inherently Wrong’

Eilish, a vegan since the age of 12, has been a long-time animal rights activist. Last week, during a video interview with Elle, the artist was asked, “What’s one hill you’d die on?”

Sensing that she would get some heat for her answer, Eilish prefaced her comments with, “Ya’ll ain’t gonna like me for this one,” before replying: “Eating meat is inherently wrong.” “Two things cannot coincide: ‘I love all animals so much and I eat meat,'” she continued. “Sorry — you could eat meat, go for it, you could love animals, but you can’t do both.”

Harry Styles Discos All the Time, School Assemblies Occasionally in ‘Dance No More’ Video

In his new video, Harry Styles leads the greatest pep rally ever. The “Dance No More” clip begins with Styles walking into a circle of musicians, dancing and singing, and eventually when (college-aged) students show up to watch him, the gym transforms into a a dance floor with everyone doing coordinated moves. By the end of it, people are of course kissing, because that’s what should be happening all the time. Colin Solal Cardo, who has made clips for Roby, Wolf Alice, and Charli XCX, directed the video.

“Dance No More” appears on Styles’ latest album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Earlier this year, the musician performed the song during his double-duty stint on Saturday Night Live. It was an unexpected choice given the previous release of singles “Aperture” and “American Girls.” But “Dance No More” perhaps best captures the beating heart of the album.

Kodak Black was arrested in Orange County, Florida, earlier this week, on suspicion of drug trafficking, according to a search of Orange County Inmate Records. The records show that authorities have accused the rapper, real name Bill Kahan Kapri, of trafficking an amount of MDMA greater than 10 grams in mass but less than 200 grams. The rapper, whose last known location was Fort Lauderdale, was booked on Wednesday and “presentenced.” His case will be considered in a circuit court.

The Orlando Police Department did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone’s request for comment.

The Radical Life and Surprising Reinvention of Steve Albini

The Radical Life and Surprising Reinvention of Steve Albini

On a brisk November day in 2024, a crowd gathers on Belmont Ave. in Chicago outside a two-story brick building, the only hint of its storied significance a red door bearing a lower-case “e” placard. Family, friends, and fans are here to pay tribute to Steve Albini, the venerated recording engineer, who died of a heart attack six months prior at age 61. The City of Chicago is honoring him, giving the street flanking his long-running Electrical Audio studio the designation of Steve Albini Way.

It’s an apt distinction: Albini’s way — from his unusual approach to recording, which emphasized the live sound of a band and influenced decades of rock music, to his cantankerous screeds, which often warranted accusations of misogyny and racism in his earlier years — was one of a kind. Albini was also a loyal friend whose personal sense of fairness, often delivered with scathing humor, served as his compass. And he had a redemptive sea change in the last decades of his life, one that many close to him attribute to Heather Whinna, who married Albini in 2009.

KJ Apa Chides ‘F-cking Liar’ Mr. Fantasy After His Friends Show Up on His Video

After all of his friends partied on Mr. Fantasy’s “Do Me Right” video without him, KJ Apa is saying “enough is enough.”

Apa, who is believed by many fans online to be the man behind the shoddy wig, plastic sunnies, and fake teeth, set the record straight on Monday. Although he insisted he usually doesn’t do this, Apa took to social media and alluded to the celebrity-stuffed video — which features cameos from his former Riverdale co-stars, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, and Madelaine Petsch — and claimed the whole charade has been “hurting me and my career.” He continued, “There was recently a music video that was released that included a bunch of people who are really close to me by a guy who’s completely and utterly stolen my image and misappropriated my image and my likeness, and I think we all know who we’re talking about, and it’s fucked up.” Apa, who never named Mr. Fantasy in the clip, also lamented that he “lost on a huge job and can no longer go in for serious work because people think that I’m a joke because of this guy.”
