Netflix hadn't previously responded to speculation that it was involved in the documentary, after Jackson had said the streamer won "the bidding war".

As per Netflix, the documentary will tell the story "of a powerful, enterprising man and the gilded empire he built – and the underworld that lay just beneath its surface".

The full synopsis reads: "Born with an insatiable drive for stardom and a knack for spotting talent, Combs made a quick ascent through the ranks of the music industry with Bad Boy Entertainment and was crucial in bringing hip-hop to the pop masses and launching the careers of dozens of generation-defining artists like The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Danity Kane.

"But along the way, and as detailed by his former associates, childhood friends, artists, and employees, something darker began to colour his ambitions. Through explosive, never-before-seen materials, including exclusive interviews with those formerly in his orbit, this documentary tells the story of a powerful, enterprising man and the gilded empire he built – and the underworld that lay just beneath its surface."

In October, Sean Combs was sentenced to over four years in prison after being convicted on prostitution-related charges involved two of his ex-girlfriends.

Before Judge Arun Subramanian delivered his sentence, Combs apologised to his victims, specifically Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura and Jane, the latter of whom testified under a pseudonym.

"My actions were disgusting, shameful and sick," he said. "I got lost in excess, I got lost in my ego."
