The mother of the currently incarcerated American rapper Sean Diddy Combs has criticized the series that Netflix has released about her son for including "falsehoods" and "inaccuracies about his upbringing and family life."
Those inaccuracies and falsehoods "are intentionally done to deceive viewers and further damage our reputation," wrote Janice Combs in a statement exclusively reported by Deadline.

Netflix released the series "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" (Ajuste de Cuentas) on December 2nd, a documentary about the life of the controversial rapper also known as Puff Daddy, with which the platform is achieving great success.After having been in the Manhattan courthouse with her grandchildren for almost every day of the two-month trial in which her son was prosecuted for sex trafficking, among other charges, Janice Combs maintains that the documentary is "plagued with lies"
The series has been produced by another artist "50 Cent", considered an enemy of the prosecuted rapper, and directed by Alexandria Stapleton. Sean Combs' mother denies that her son ever mistreated her, as claimed in the series. The artist's lawyers also sent a letter to Netflix asking them not to air the miniseries about the controversial rap star, claiming that "stolen" material is used in it. A Combs spokesperson emphasized the accusations against Netflix for using "stolen material whose publication was never authorized" and called the series a "shameful propaganda article." Combs previously filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal over another documentary about the artist that aired on Peacock: "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy". The artist, founder of the record label Bad Boy Records and promoter of the careers of musicians such as The Notorious BIG or Danity Kane, is now serving a sentence after being found guilty in July of two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution. After a process that lasted two months, Combs, 55, was exonerated of the most serious charges he faced, of sexual trafficking and organized crime. The prosecution accused Diddy of forcing his now ex-girlfriends to have encounters with male sex workers that typically included drug use, such as ecstasy or ketamine, and that could last for days.
