Diddy has been portrayed as a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde figure over the years, alternating between a super nice guy and allegedly violent and vicious, according to a new bombshell report by Rolling Stone.

The article details Diddy’s life story and rise to fame starting in the ’90s, now coinciding with his current federal criminal investigation, which could potentially land him behind bars.
Rolling Stone’s six-month investigation involved reaching out to over 300 people in Diddy’s circle and interviewing more than 50 former friends, acquaintances, employees, artists, and industry insiders. Many refused to talk, but those who did had a lot to say.
Several sources, including close associates from his Bad Boy days, claim Diddy has a dark side and could be a menacing figure, desperately seeking acceptance and admiration while demanding public displays of devotion and generous donations from others.
Instances of alleged violence and fits of rage date back to his days as a Howard University student. One anecdote describes Diddy allegedly pummeling a record label executive who started dating his ex, the late Kim Porter, whom he’s also accused of abusing.
Other women Diddy has dated, including Jennifer Lopez, are mentioned in the report. It’s alleged that Bad Boy staffers tried to convey messages to her from Diddy after their split, even standing outside ‘TRL‘ studios with signs begging her to take him back.
The report also claims Diddy made sexual advances toward female employees and associates. One woman alleges Diddy approached her boss to solicit her for sex, while another instance describes him attacking a woman at Bad Boy’s offices, requiring employees to intervene.
Despite these allegations, the article also touches on positive aspects of Diddy’s character. However, the overall portrayal suggests Diddy allegedly runs hot or cold.
The backdrop to this report is a grand jury being convened, with witnesses potentially testifying ahead of a possible indictment. Despite his mounting legal challenges, Diddy has denied most of the wrongdoing alleged against him.
