Two of the sons of imprisoned rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs are set to follow in their father’s footsteps with their own docuseries, one that promises to present their perspective on their father’s fall from hip-hop royalty in 2024 and his subsequent federal trial the following summer.
On Sunday evening, Zeus Network released a trailer for the upcoming series, which is scheduled for release in 2026, according to the network’s Instagram page. The documentary series appears to follow Justin and Christian Combs throughout their father’s federal trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges, which ended in early July with a split verdict that spared him a potential life sentence. Combs is currently serving a 50-month federal prison sentence after a jury found him guilty of violating the Mann Act. It’s also the subject of an often unflattering four-part Netflix series that appears to be a success for the streamer; it was produced in part by his longtime rival, rapper 50 Cent.
In the brief first trailer, Justin and Christian Combs are seen sitting together watching television coverage of their father’s trial. Both men become visibly emotional as rapid footage plays, including shots of their daily arrivals and interactions with the teeming press outside the courthouse in downtown Manhattan. Abrupt phrases in bold white letters flash on the screen: “The Rise.” “The family”. “Pain.” “Loyalty”. “The betrayal.” “The lies.” The brothers exchange weary glances before a phone rings – a call from the prison at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, where their father has been transferred as an inmate.
It’s unclear from the trailer whether the scope of the docuseries will end with the conclusion of Combs’ trial in July or extend through his October conviction and federal custody. As debate intensified online over whether the show could glorify or glamorize Combs, the discussion spilled over into the comments section of Zeus CEO Lemuel Plummer’s social media, prompting him to clarify the network’s intent.
“To be clear, this documentary is intended to give Justin and Christian the opportunity to share their personal stories,” Plummer wrote. “We’re not here to support Diddy or anyone else. As a network, we believe in giving individuals a platform to tell their own experiences, just like any network that enters the documentary space. We’re just allowing those stories to be told, and that’s the essence of what we’re doing here.”
Justin and Christian Combs have also been linked to the launch of DiddyCoin, a cryptocurrency launched in May on the Solana network that has had a rocky rollout. The token was introduced at the start of Combs’ trial and positioned as a way to rally online discussion around the embattled mogul. The promotional language described $DIDDY as “a decentralized rallying cry for culture, for freedom, for everyone who has ever danced to ‘Mo Money Mo Problems.’ » During the trial, a T-shirt and an alleged paid protest were allegedly linked to the play, raising ethical questions about the brothers’ involvement.
Zeus is a subscription video-on-demand streaming service founded in 2018 by social media personalities DeStorm Power, Amanda Cerny, King Bach and Plummer. The platform focuses on influencer-driven content and unscripted programming.
