Diddy is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial for sex trafficking and other related charges.
His legal team recently asked for more time before the trial begins, due to new charges being added to the case. The request was denied, and jury selection is now scheduled for May 5. Opening statements are expected to start on May 12.
A courtroom sketch from Diddy’s recent appearance has also drawn attention. With no cameras allowed in the room, the sketch showed him with grey, messy hair and a matching beard.
He also appeared thinner than usual, raising questions about his health while in custody. Diddy and his legal team have not commented on his current condition.
The upcoming documentary is expected to be emotional and intense, offering a closer look at a case that has shaken the entertainment world.
