Dark Secrets of Bad Boy Records: Insiders Unveil Diddy's Troubling 90s Era**
Former employees of Diddy’s Bad Boy Records recount alarming incidents from the 1990s, revealing a culture of misconduct and abuse.**
In a shocking exposé, former employees of Sean "Diddy" Combs's Bad Boy Records reveal a history of alleged misconduct and troubling incidents that characterized the music label during its rise to fame in the 1990s. These revelations emerge as Diddy awaits trial on multiple criminal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering, amidst numerous lawsuits accusing him of drugging and assaulting women.
Daniel Evans, a former executive at Bad Boy Records, recounted a chilling threat made by Diddy during a 1997 meeting. "I have so much money now that I could hire someone to kill you, and nobody would know," Combs allegedly told a colleague. As Bad Boy expanded its reach, propelled by the success of iconic artists like The Notorious B.I.G., serious allegations of misconduct began to surface from those working closely with Combs.
Over 20 former workers, including assistants, executives, and producers, gave testimonies that highlighted a pattern of inappropriate behavior by Combs. Incidents described included an instance where Combs was seen involved with a young woman in the recording studio, as well as complaints from female staff members about his expectant behavior regarding provisions for sexual encounters. “There was a course of conduct that became more egregious over time,” noted Tony Buzbee, a lawyer representing alleged victims.
The testimonies reflect a broader culture within the music industry during that era, where inappropriate conduct was often disregarded. Felicia Newsome, who managed Daddy's House studio, stated the normalization of such behavior, explaining, "It was abnormal if somebody reported it, but it wasn't abnormal for it to be happening."
The troubling details only deepen with claims that corporate resources were misused to facilitate illicit activities, including flying women into New York for sexual encounters at the studio. Combs is accused of utilizing company funds designated for travel purposes to cover these arrangements, amounting to significant financial resources.
As Diddy faces serious charges and public scrutiny, former associates grapple with reconciling their memories of him with the shocking allegations. "These accusations are a surprise to me, as I am sure it is to many of our circle," said Jeffery Walker, a close friend and part of the original production team at Bad Boy. With upcoming trials anticipated to bring more information to light, many are left speculating on the real character behind the icon—wondering if the behavior described is a revelation of who Diddy truly was all along or a departure from the persona they once knew.
