BBC Sounds. Music, radio, podcasts. Hello and welcome to Diddy on Trial from BBC Sounds with me, Anushka Matanda-Doughty. We are the place to come to find out everything you need to know about Diddy and his upcoming trial. We're unpacking the unfolding story, we're myth-busting, we're fact-checking, and we're answering your questions.
So technically, we only really launched less than two months ago, and it already feels like we've lived many lives in the Diddyverse. It's will he get bail or won't he get bail? It's old alleged victims and new alleged victims and bombshell balcony allegations and Busby and Spiro and PB&Js for Thanksgiving dinner and federal indictments and complainants and claimants.
And then the internet's asking, is this music's Me Too movement? And does hip hop have a problem? And then we get questions from you guys that reminds us that maybe we need to do a bit of a refresher course. I mean, there's a lot of information here. We got this one, and I'll just read it now. It says, okay, so I've slipped in and I'm hooked, but I have no background.
You said that after the long-term girlfriend dropped charges during the first program, but I was never that hooked on celebs, so I have no history of who the long-term girlfriend is. Can you do a brief history of Diddyism and what we know so far? And so here's our brief history of so-called Diddyism and what we know so far.
And helping me unpack this, as always, is our resident senior investigative reporter from Rolling Stone magazine, Cheyenne Roundtree. Hi, Cheyenne. Hi. And our resident criminal defense attorney, Sean Kent. Hi, Sean.
Hey, how are you doing?
We're going to be hearing from Sean a bit later because he's prepping for a murder trial at the moment. So we'll let him off. So yeah, a lot of questions have been coming in, particularly from younger listeners who are aware of who P. Diddy is or Puff Daddy or Puffy, but couldn't necessarily name any of his hit songs or don't really know what he's been up to in the past decade.
So we're going to take it back because people have heard of Bad Boy and he is instrumental in the success of this record label. Cheyenne, what is Bad Boy and what's it got to do with P. Diddy?
Bad Boy is Diddy's kind of first label. territory he marked for himself. It is his founding production company, record label. It is the nexus of everything that came from Diddy.
