Al B. Sure! Breaks Silence on Diddy, Kim Porter, and Music Industry Dark Secrets

"He ushered Biggie to his death." That's what Kirk Burrowes — the co-founder of Bad Boy Entertainment — says in the new Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning." And he's got journals to back it up. The 4-part docuseries, executive produced by 50 Cent, drops bombshell allegations about what really happened in the months leading up to Christopher Wallace's murder on March 9, 1997. According to Burrowes, the story Diddy has told for 30 years — that Biggie wanted to be in LA for a "peace tour" — is a lie. In this episode, we break down: → The journals Kirk Burrowes kept from "Day Zero" at Bad Boy → Allegations that Diddy cancelled Biggie's London trip to "party on enemy turf" → Claims that Biggie's estate was charged for his own funeral → The disturbing "March 9th ritual" Clayton Howard describes → What the jurors said about the Diddy trial → How Combs' team is responding to the documentary Combs has denied all allegations and his team has called this documentary a "shameful hit piece." He is currently serving 50 months in federal prison after being convicted on two Mann Act charges in July 2025. ⚖️ These are allegations from a documentary. Combs has never been charged in connection with Biggie's or Tupac's deaths and maintains his innocence on all claims. #Diddy #SeanCombs #TheReckoning #Biggie #NotoriousBIG #BadBoy #Netflix #Documentary #TrueCrime #CrimeWeekly #50Cent #HipHop #Tupac #March9 #KirkBurrowes Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The new Netflix docuseries on Sean “Diddy” Combs is about to drop — and Diddy is already coming apart at the seams. He calls it a “shameful hit piece,” claims Netflix used “unauthorized” footage, and accuses executives of betrayal. But if you listen to 50 Cent, the director, former insiders, and the reporters who have seen the early cuts… the real story is what the documentary actually exposes about Diddy’s world, his behavior, and the decades-long pattern people have been describing for years. This episode breaks down what’s reportedly inside the doc — the previously unseen footage, the recordings Diddy allegedly made of himself, the hotel-room meltdown days before his arrest, the witnesses who finally speak, and the pattern that has followed him since the 1990s. We’re looking at what the filmmakers uncovered, what 50 Cent has hinted at in interview after interview, what former insiders say they saw, and why Netflix is standing firm even as Diddy threatens legal action and goes nuclear in the press. Diddy says the footage was stolen. Netflix says it was obtained legally. Diddy says this is character assassination. The filmmakers say it's accountability. And 50 Cent? He says this is only the beginning. Tonight, we go inside the parts of Diddy’s world he never expected anyone to see — the alleged behavior behind the scenes, the culture surrounding his empire, and the moments that reportedly made even longtime insiders step back and ask, “How did this go on for so long?” This is not a story about a superstar who partied too hard. This is a story about power, control, silence — and a documentary that may finally break that silence open. 🔔 Subscribe for daily deep-dives into the biggest true-crime stories shaping America. #diddy #seancombs #50cent #netflixdocumentary #thereckoning #hiddenkillers #truecrime #celebritycase #investigation #netflixseries Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The new Netflix documentary "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" contains an allegation that's hard to shake: according to Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes, Diddy allegedly charged the estate of the Notorious B.I.G. for the cost of his own funeral — while publicly positioning himself as the grieving best friend. But that's not where it ends. The documentary and years of prior reporting reveal a pattern of alleged financial exploitation stretching back three decades — from Craig Mack, Bad Boy's first star who died broke after trying to escape his contract, to producer Lil Rod Jones, who says he was offered just $29,000 for producing an entire album in 2023. In this video, we break down the allegations from the documentary, the testimony of former Bad Boy insiders, and the exposed playbook that allegedly kept artists locked in, underpaid, and silenced for years. Sources referenced: "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" (Netflix, 2025) Rolling Stone investigative report on Craig Mack (2024) Mark Curry's "Dancing with the Devil: How Puff Burned the Bad Boys of Hip-Hop" (2009) Billboard, Variety, Complex, NBC News reporting Diddy's team has called the documentary a "shameful hit piece" and disputes the allegations presented. He is currently serving a 50-month federal sentence after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July 2025. He is appealing his conviction. #Diddy #SeanCombs #TheReckoning #NotoriousBIG #Biggie #BadBoyRecords #Netflix #Documentary #TrueCrime #HipHop #CraigMack #MarkCurry #KirkBurrowes #50Cent Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Thirty boxes of handwritten journals. A Bad Boy co-founder who suddenly vanished from the industry. Gang witnesses, investigators, insiders, and a decades-old pattern finally pushed into the light. In today’s episode of Hidden Killers, we dig into the most explosive element in the new documentary surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs — the journals of Kirk Burrowes. These weren’t casual notes. Burrowes ran the budgets, coordinated Diddy’s travel, saw the money flow, and documented everything from expenses to last-minute car rentals during the exact stretch of time when the East Coast–West Coast tension was at its peak. The documentary connects Burrowes’ detailed logs with long-standing witness statements from Duane “Keffe D” Davis, former LAPD detective Greg Kading, and insiders who’ve talked for decades about Diddy’s fear, jealousy, power plays, and connections to people capable of real violence. Nothing is presented as proven fact. But the patterns, the proximity, and the timing create a map — one that’s impossible to ignore. We break down the jealousy between Pac, Biggie, and Diddy… the strange travel plans before the Vegas fight… the powerful figures who stood with Diddy in those rooms… the retaliation logic that investigators have discussed for years… and the way Burrowes’ journals unintentionally line up with witness claims the public dismissed for decades. This isn’t about claiming guilt. It’s about understanding the ecosystem of power, fear, and influence that surrounded Diddy in the 90s — and how those same patterns are being raised in today’s legal battles. If you want to understand why so many people are suddenly talking, and why investigators and insiders say the “map” now looks very different, this breakdown connects every major piece.

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re unpacking one of the most controversial and conversation-shifting verdicts of the decade — the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. After months of disturbing testimony, celebrity appearances, and viral evidence — including the now-infamous surveillance video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie Ventura — the jury delivered a verdict that stunned the nation. Diddy was found guilty on two federal counts of transporting women across state lines for prostitution, yet acquitted on the most serious charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and conspiracy. In this special episode, Tony Brueski and attorney Eric Faddis break down exactly what happened inside that courtroom — the evidence, the emotional testimony, and the legal strategies that defined the trial. How could a case so full of damning details end in such a divided result? Was this the justice system doing its job… or an indictment of how power and celebrity still distort accountability? Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor turned defense attorney, walks us through the legal nuance — how burden of proof, technical definitions, and jury psychology intersected to create this outcome. Together, Tony and Eric dissect the split verdict’s cultural implications, asking whether this moment signals a deeper societal fatigue with #MeToo-era accountability. Did jurors no longer see psychological coercion as “real” violence? Did prosecutors overestimate how far public empathy extends for survivors of celebrity abuse? Or was this verdict less about the facts — and more about America’s shifting comfort with power, money, and moral gray zones? We also explain why Diddy remains behind bars despite the partial acquittal, and what comes next as he faces a sentencing phase that could carry up to 20 years in federal prison. Will Judge Arun Subramanian set a precedent — or fold to the same cultural machinery that kept Diddy protected for decades? This isn’t just a verdict recap. It’s a postmortem on justice in 2025. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Cases That Redefined Accountability, Power, and Public Conscience. #DiddyVerdict #SeanCombs #CassieVentura #EricFaddis #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #CelebrityJustice #MeTooBacklash #FederalTrial #SexTraffickingCase #JusticeSystem #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re going beyond the headlines to examine the psychological machinery behind one of the most explosive celebrity trials of the decade — Sean “Diddy” Combs and the disturbing allegations that have shattered his empire. In this powerful two-part special, Tony Brueski is joined by psychotherapist Shavaun Scott to break down the alleged behavioral profile of Diddy — not from a place of gossip, but through a clinical lens. Scott explores whether Combs’ reported actions align with narcissistic personality traits, psychopathic tendencies, and patterns of coercive control often seen in long-term cycles of abuse. From alleged emotional domination and financial control to threats, surveillance, and sexual coercion, Scott unpacks how power and pathology intertwine — and how high-profile abusers weaponize influence, fear, and fame to keep victims silent. It’s a chilling look at how manipulation can masquerade as charisma, and how the psychology of celebrity can distort accountability on a global scale. Then, in the second half, Tony delivers a full breakdown of the most pivotal week of the Diddy federal trial (June 12–16, 2025) — a stretch of testimony and evidence that could decide whether the hip-hop mogul spends life in prison or walks free. Among the bombshell moments: Six firearms with defaced serial numbers found near alleged “freak-off” supplies. Homeland Security’s discovery of AR-15 parts, drugs, and lubricants allegedly tied to a sex-trafficking operation. The emotional testimony of “Jane,” who confronted Diddy in court after describing years of abuse and coercion. Immunity witness Jonathan Perez, Diddy’s former assistant, whose drug procurement testimony both strengthened and complicated the government’s case. Kanye West’s surreal courthouse appearance, adding a spectacle to an already volatile trial. And the controversial dismissal of Juror #6, a decision now under scrutiny for potential bias. Together, these two lenses — the psychological and the procedural — reveal the full picture of a man once untouchable, now facing the reckoning of his own creation. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Cases That Redefined Power, Psychology, and Justice. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #PsychologicalAbuse #FederalTrial #CelebrityJustice #CoerciveControl #Narcissism #Psychopathy #PowerAndControl #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

As part of our Hidden Killers 2025 Year in Review series, we’re peeling back the layers of one of the most disturbing psychological power structures ever exposed in celebrity culture — the world of Sean “Diddy” Combs. In this gripping two-part special, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analyst Robin Dreeke dive deep into how fear, manipulation, and emotional dependency built an empire of silence around Diddy for decades. Why didn’t more people speak up sooner? Dreeke reveals the three psychological levers that kept Diddy’s inner circle compliant — even as the behavior around them crossed moral and legal lines. From fear-based loyalty and financial entanglement to the illusion of belonging, Dreeke dissects how coercive control can transform a celebrity brand into a psychological fortress. This episode doesn’t just explore the headlines — it exposes the mechanics behind them. How does a person with immense power and charisma create a reality distortion field so strong that people rationalize the unthinkable? How do those closest to the source of abuse convince themselves they’re “protected,” when in truth, they’re prisoners of influence? Drawing from FBI behavioral science and decades of fieldwork, Dreeke and Brueski connect Diddy’s alleged patterns to cult-style leadership psychology, trauma bonding, and the weaponization of loyalty. They break down how abusers in positions of fame exploit human nature’s deepest needs — safety, validation, and identity — to ensure silence and complicity. This isn’t just a celebrity scandal. It’s a case study in toxic leadership, groupthink, and the quiet, corrosive power of fear. It’s about how one man allegedly turned charisma into control — and how those around him, knowingly or not, became part of the machine that protected him. 🎙️ Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski — 2025 Year in Review: The Cases That Exposed Power, Silence, and the Psychology of Control. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimePodcast #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #CoerciveControl #CultDynamics #CelebrityAbuse #ToxicLeadership #PowerAndControl #YearInReview #TrueCrimeToday Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
