An upcoming Diddy documentary, The Fall Of Diddy, is debuting in late January, and Investigation Discovery (ID) just dropped a trailer for the highly-anticipated film.
ID’s The Fall Of Diddy is not to be confused with 50 Cent’s long-awaited Diddy documentary – with Surviving P. Diddy and Diddy, Do It Or Not both rumored to be its title – as that project is with Netflix.
In a July interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) talked about having long avoided Diddy’s parties, citing “an uncomfortable energy connected to” his social gatherings.
Fifty cited a video of Diddy (real name Sean Combs) allegedly assaulting Cassie Ventura as a primary reason for his documentary project:
“First, [Diddy] denied that it even happened, and then the tape comes out — so that means everything that n**** says is a lie. When someone watches that, if they have a daughter, and they can imagine her being under those circumstances, that s*** is crazy.
“Like, they let him get away with it. With all the influence and power you have, the person you’re with is supposed to want to be a part of your life, not be forced.”
50 Cent’s documentary doesn’t have a release date yet, as far as we know.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, it and The Fall Of Diddy are two of six Diddy documentaries in the works or recently released.

On Thursday, January 9, ID dropped the trailer for The Fall Of Diddy on YouTube.
The trailer was very short, just over 90 seconds long, and mainly featured teaser quotes from the documentary:
Comments from people who spoke out for The Fall Of Diddy were interspersed with archival footage of Diddy’s pre-downfall days, and a title card indicated that the makers of the Nickelodeon exposé Quiet On Set were involved.
About 50 seconds into the trailer, a woman says of Diddy: “We did not realize the extent of the darkness.”
That statement, like the others made in the trailer, did not appear in context, reserving major revelations for when The Fall Of Diddy airs.
At the end of the trailer, a man featured in the documentary alludes to a broader issue in the music industry:
There’s a lot of people like Puffy in this music business.
Exposing Puffy means exposing them.
Several of the individuals in the trailer appeared to have struggled with participating in it, wondering aloud why they spoke up, or saying they can “no longer be silent.”
The Fall Of Diddy was produced in partnership with Rolling Stone, and an official description explained its scope: “Spanning Combs’ decades-long impact on music and popular culture, from his early days as a talented creative to his 2024 arrest, the docuseries uncovers the insidious and terrifying allegations of sexual assault, abusive behavior, violence, and other disturbing claims that lay beneath his success.”
ID’s The Fall Of Diddy will air in two parts, on January 27 and 28 on Investigation Discovery, and will be available for subsequent streaming on Max.
