Sean “Diddy” Combs features in a new four-part Netflix series. The show revisits old claims and fresh evidence. The series focuses on his role in 1990s rap conflicts.
The documentary highlights Duane “Keffe D” Davis’s 2008 police interview. That material frames a central claim about a paid hit. The program also places that claim in a wider timeline. 50 Cent Netflix doc exposes
Davis tells police he was offered money to kill Tupac and Suge. He says Diddy agreed to pay a sum to gang members. Davis later claims he did not get paid for the killing.
Why the doc matters
The series brings witness statements back into public view. It includes interviews and archival footage that many have not seen. The footage raises new questions about past events.
Davis says he gave the gun to the alleged shooter. He names his nephew Orlando Anderson in his memoir and interviews. Anderson died in 1998 in an unrelated shooting.
Police arrested Davis in September 2023 after a long investigation. He faces murder charges linked to a gang motive. The accused is being held without bail as the case moves forward.
The trial has been delayed several times for witness work and motions. Court dates moved from 2024 into 2026 as lawyers prepared. Most recently the date was set for August 10, 2026.
What the new footage shows
The Netflix series weaves the Davis recordings into a broader narrative. Producers piece together claims, timelines, and new testimony. The result is a sharp reexamination of a famous cold case.
Combs has denied hiring anyone to harm Tupac or Suge. His team calls parts of the doc one-sided and unfair. Netflix and the film team say they stand by their reporting and sources.
Legal experts say documentary material can sway public view but not court outcomes. Judges still rely on formal evidence presented at trial. Still, public narratives can affect witness choices and memory. Diddy’s mom slams Netflix doc
Journalists note the series ties new claims to older leads. It revisits LAPD work and task force findings from years ago. The show also includes voices tied to both coasts and both camps.
Davis has at times contradicted earlier statements in court filings. He told police one version then later changed parts of his story. His lawyers now argue some earlier remarks were false or coerced.
The criminal case remains focused on who fired the fatal shots. Prosecutors say Davis acted with others on the Las Vegas strip. The defense is seeking to test witness accounts and timelines.
Fans and commentators have sharply divided over the series. Some view it as overdue truth telling about a violent era. Others see it as a sensational retelling without new criminal proof.
For now the legal process will follow a strict court timetable. The jury trial will test witness memory and past interviews. That process will determine whether charges lead to conviction.
