The new Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning is igniting a firestorm — not only for its graphic accounts of alleged abuse, but for what former Bad Boy co-founder Kirk Burrowes claims happened behind the scenes financially. One allegation in particular is shaking viewers: that Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly charged the estate of the Notorious B.I.G. for the costs associated with his funeral, even as he publicly positioned himself as the devastated best friend mourning a national tragedy.

But the documentary doesn’t stop there. Across four episodes, The Reckoning lays out three decades of alleged financial exploitation involving major Bad Boy artists — from Craig Mack, the label’s first breakout star who died broke after struggling to escape his contract, to producer Lil Rod Jones, who says he was paid just $29,000 for producing an entire 2023 album. Interviews, journals, and firsthand accounts suggest a long-running pattern of lopsided deals, silenced artists, and power structures designed to keep money flowing in one direction.

This episode breaks down the key allegations from the Netflix doc, including Burrowes’ journals, the claims surrounding Biggie’s travel schedule before his death, what insiders call the “March 9th ritual,” and the reactions from those who worked closest to Combs. We also examine reporting from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Variety, NBC News, and Mark Curry’s 2009 memoir Dancing with the Devil, which outlined similar concerns long before this documentary was ever made.

Combs denies all allegations, calling the documentary a “shameful hit piece.” He is currently serving a 50-month federal sentence on two Mann Act convictions and is appealing his case. He has never been charged in connection with the deaths of Biggie or Tupac and maintains his innocence.
