Summary

Introducing a new podcast from 20/20 and ABC Audio, "Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy." Over the next six weeks, ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmire will take you inside the rise and fall of Diddy, tracing how whispers of abuse came to light and led to his downfall. We'll be sharing all six episodes here on the 20/20 feed weekly on Wednesdays. But you can listen early and access twice-weekly court updates in May when the trial gets underway by following the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen to podcasts. This week the series begins with episode one, "Party's Over." Diddy was a legendary party host. His star-studded “white parties” were glittering displays of wealth and social capital that started in the world of hip-hop, and ultimately expanded far beyond it. But after a criminal indictment alleging sex trafficking, Diddy is now locked up, fighting to prove his innocence, stuck in a place that couldn’t be more different from the luxury he’s used to.
