Law&Crime releases podcast with new revelations about Diddy case
December 3, 2024
Legal and true crime network Law&Crime announces the next installment of its podcast slate, The Rise and Fall of Diddy, available exclusively on Wondery+. The new series, hosted by Law&Crime anchor Jesse Weber, details the industry-shattering sex abuse scandal that decimated the career of billionaire rapper and music executive Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
In a case that has gripped social media for weeks, the largest music icon of the 90s and 2000s was charged with using funds associated with Bad Boy Records to traffick and assault dozens of vulnerable individuals. Many of the accusations stem from the long-notorious Diddy Parties, during which he regularly entertained a star-studded guest list. Despite offering millions, Diddy was denied bail and faces at least 15 years in federal prison if convicted.
Over the course of three episodes, the series offers listeners a legal insider’s peek behind the viral allegations circulating social media since Diddy’s home was raided last spring. Now with his charges formally revealed, the series sets the scorned Diddy of today against the entrepreneurial genius who held the keys to the music industry for decades. Through interviews with music journalists and legal experts close to the case, the series taps into a heated conversation about sexual assault and fame following the #MeToo era, while also asking listeners to question what they thought they knew about Diddy’s path to celebrity.
The Rise and Fall of Diddy is the fifth Law&Crime produced podcast released on Wondery+ in 2024. A previous release, The Rise and Fall of Ruby Franke, covered the similarly viral mom-fluencer child-abuse scandal and hit the #1 spot in true crime on Apple Podcasts and has garnered nearly 4 million downloads.
In addition to this new title, Law&Crime has expanded its ad-free library on Wondery+, allowing subscribers to enjoy fan favorites, including Sidebar with Jesse Weber and The Disturbing Truth, in an ad-free listening experience.
All episodes of The Rise and Fall of Diddy will be released on December 4th.
