Sean 'Diddy' Combs' childhood friends reveal his past

Childhood friends of Sean “Diddy” Combs have opened up about how he used to be in the new documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.

Tim Patterson, who grew up with Diddy, 55, in Mount Vernon, New York, said: “I know Sean, not Diddy, not Daddy Love. I don’t know those people, I don’t know them, I swear I don’t know them, I never met those people,” Patterson said in the Peacock film.

“I have to tell people about what they don’t know about his childhood,” he added.

Diddy’s Howard University classmate Ron Lawrence revealed that the music mogul always new he wanted to be a record producer.

“He would tell you that ‘I’m gonna be the biggest record producer in the world,’” Lawrence shared. “He already knew what he wanted at Howard University.”

This documentary comes after the producer was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all charges and awaits trial while being detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

His rep also called the upcoming documentary “lies,” saying, “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months.”

“It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind,” they told Us Weekly.

Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy will be released on Peacock on January 14.
