The world is reacting in real time, and the numbers say it all, Sean Combs: The Reckoning has climbed to the number-one spot in multiple countries, sparking global conversation, outrage, and reflection. The four-part documentary arrives at a pivotal moment, pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful and controversial figures in modern music.
Created by director Alexandria Stapleton and produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson alongside a seasoned team of investigative storytellers, the documentary is a deep, unflinching look at the rise, influence, and alleged abuses tied to Sean “Diddy” Combs. It traces his journey from the early Bad Boy Records era, the glamour, the star-making power, the cultural dominance, straight through to the allegations that have shadowed him for years.
What ultimately led to its creation were the explosive cases and accusations that resurfaced and intensified in 2024, culminating in Combs’ arrest on federal charges. The documentary pieces together testimony from former employees, collaborators, survivors, and insiders who claim to have witnessed or experienced manipulation, violence, coercion, and systemic abuse behind the scenes of an empire built on celebrity and control.
With never-before-seen footage, emotional interviews, and a clear commitment to centring the voices of those who say they were wronged, The Reckoning examines how power operates, how it protects itself, and how silence can be enforced for decades.
As viewers around the world continue to press play, the conversation grows louder, and more urgent. Below, we look at how audiences are reacting to a documentary that has become impossible to ignore.
Here's some reaction from around the globe:

I just finished the first episode of “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” and I must say this is a well produced docuseries and it doesn’t viscerally dogmatize Diddy like I expected.

Watching Sean Combs: The Reckoning. This man is worse than anything I could have ever imagined. pic.twitter.com/1mwynsG5QY
I think all the victims from The Reckoning Sean Combs should write a book together, each getting a chapter to talk about what Puff did to them and selling it so we can support them because how did the Co-Founder go from 25% to HOMELESS shelters??? pic.twitter.com/LWmkxlSaaV

I am so embarrassed for Kalenna. He denied her help, and she still went ahead and defended Puff. The Reckoning Sean Combs is teaching me something about the laws of power pic.twitter.com/BYRfHHdlR0

So much was revealed in this documentary but it means absolutely nothing with a 50month jail sentence. All of Puff's victims were robbed. Every single one of them. The Reckoning: Sean Combs made that abundantly clear pic.twitter.com/ghuKB5EBIN
I'm watching this Sean Combs: The Reckoning Documentary right now.

What I've come to realize is Diddy is more than likely going to be convicted of Tupac's murder. Possibly Biggie Smalls also.
Puff is cooked. Got too many people ready to nail him to the cross. pic.twitter.com/A5UmIedmyF
Those jurors from the diddy RICO trial on the Sean Combs The Reckoning were a joke. One was so out of touch with what a victim is and the woman was so obviously star struck the entire trial.

Just finished watching Sean Combs: The Reckoning and had to run to the bathroom to literally throw my stomach up. That level of darkness is physically sickening.
To even imagine that someone with that kind of alleged power, manipulation, and unchecked violence existed in the… pic.twitter.com/zaodzS02jL

I stayed up way too late last night watching Sean Combs: The Reckoning. I don't feel like I really learned anything new. I kept waiting for something that would blow my mind. 🤷🏼♀️ kind of felt like a big nothing burger to me. Oh well....

I watched the Sean Combs: The Reckoning…
Diddy is an opportunist egomaniac, and this music genre carries a lot of darkness within its culture.
