The BBC has announced a new documentary, P Diddy: The Rise and Fall, for BBC Three and iPlayer, examining the cultural powerhouse Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose influence and impact is undeniable, but whose legacy could now be indelibly tarnished.

Landed ahead of Diddy's trial, the doc will explore how he became one of hip-hop's first moguls and the system that may have protected him

Titled P. Diddy: The Rise And Fall, the film will premiere on BBC Three and iPlayer on April 28 and promises to deliver an unflinching look at how Combs went from being one of the most influential figures in pop culture to pariah in a matter of months.
