P Diddy saga unveils the underworld forces in cooperate, art, music, carrier, fame and money.

More than three decades after Sean Combs named his label Bad Boy Records, he’s been arrested on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges, accused of everything from arson to kidnapping. As authorities outline the shocking activities allegedly carried out at Combs’ direction by his ‘criminal enterprise’.

It appears the only thing Puff Daddy did honest was naming his music recored label ‘BAD BOY’.

Although P Diddy has been orchestrating a lot more that just braggadocious “bad” behavior during the intervening decades, according to indictment unsealed after his arrest, charges him as the veritable architect and leader of a ‘criminal enterprise’ engaged in forced labour, bribery, obstruction of justice, racketeering, arson, kidnaping and sex trafficking.

Accusation laid out on him in a series of lawsuits last year, that first revealed the growing cracks in the veneer of Diddy’s carefully-curated reputation. He strenuously denied all wrongdoing. But the filings were quickly followed by a bicoastal raid on his properties amid a tight-lipped federal investigation, then the leaking of a violent video showing Diddy’s brutal beating at a hotel of then-girlfriend Cassie– the most high-profile victim to sue him.

The footage was proof that his denials had been false all along. Diddy tried a weak filmed mea culpa and apologized on Instagram post, staying largely and uncharacteristically out of public view despite a few other presumed attempts at reputation rehab: two lukewarm family-centric posts on the same social media platform amid occasional statements from lawyers.

Those efforts did nothing to stem the tide of public embarrassments. Howard University revoked the honorary degree of which he’d been so proud. Diddy also lost a number of things and honour he had been best around with.

Police recovered more that 1,000 bottles of baby oil from his house as part of collecting evidence against a series of lawsuits filed against him. His expose is clear show if the underworld and dark forces that continues bedevilling the cooperate, art, fame and money industry.

Everything happening to Diddy now is right now, however, is a far cry from the teflon career he crafted for himself; he’s previously dodged prison time for charges related to everything from illegal gun possession to fatal concert stampedes. But the Diddy depicted in the federal indictment – one who “abused, threatened and coerced … to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct” – may have a harder time wriggling away from the long grasp of the law
