Diddy’s Son Calls Out Netflix Doc for ‘Lies’ About Biggie’s Funeral
One of the most talked-about music-industry exposés of the year was just released as a four-part Netflix docuseries. In Sean Combs: The Reckoning, 50 Cent turns the lens on Diddy’s storied rise and explosive fall. From chart-dominating hits to decades-old sexual-misconduct allegations, the series promises “never-before-seen” footage. The series highlights Diddy’s relationship with Biggie and includes allegations surrounding Biggie’s funeral. Here’s what Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs, posted about Biggie’s funeral after the docuseries released.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ son, Christian ‘King’ Combs, called out the Netflix documentary for ‘lies’ about Biggie Smalls
Sean Combs: The Reckoning, produced by 50 Cent, is taking the streaming world by storm. The documentary covers everything from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ past relationships to his present-day situation. And it shows his relationship with Christopher George Latore Wallace, better known as The Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie Smalls.
In the docuseries, former Bad Boy Records co-founder Kirk Burrowes claims that Diddy initially promised “the biggest funeral for Biggie New York has ever seen” following Biggie’s death. However, according to Burrowes, once the cost became clear, Diddy reversed course. The rapper allegedly made the funeral expenses a “recoupable charge” against Biggie’s estate rather than covering them himself. The doc suggests that what began as a grand tribute shifted into a financial burden on the late rapper’s family.
“Sean assumed the position of his [Biggie Smalls] best friend in every article and publication, and that wasn’t necessarily true,” Burrowes explained. “Sean said, ‘We’re going to do the biggest funeral for Biggie that New York has ever seen,’ and we start to put that together, he starts to see the price, and he says, ‘We’re gonna do the biggest funeral, but Biggie is gonna have to pay for this funeral.'”
Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs, responded to these allegations. King reposted a statement to his Instagram Stories from Biggie’s estate. “Biggie’s Estate Speaks Out: ‘The Netflix Documentary Is Full of Lies, Diddy Paid for Biggie’s Funeral With No Reimbursement, He’s Always Done Right By Us,'” the reposted headline states. King then added “Capsters” on the post, according to Cosmopolitan.
A co-manager of Biggie’s estate said Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs didn’t use Biggie’s money for Biggie’s funeral
The Breakfast Club host Loren Lorosa read comments on the radio show from Wayne Barrow, a co-manager of Biggie Smalls’ estate alongside his mother, Voletta Wallace. Barrow made a clarifying statement regarding the allegations. He said that Sean “Diddy” Combs never used Biggie’s money to pay for the funeral.
“Wayne tells me that that is completely not true,” Lorosa said. “He himself officiated the funeral and planned it along with Kirk Burrowes, who is in the documentary, Bad Boy staff, and that Bad Boy paid for everything. At no point was there any indication on any royalty statement that this would be coming from Biggie’s account. So, the family never paid for anything in regards to the funeral.”
The rapper’s mother, Janice Combs, also called out the ‘lies’ in ‘Sean Combs: The Reckoning’
Janice Combs, 85, isn’t happy with how the Netflix documentary shows her relationship with her son. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she issued a statement to “correct some of the lies.”
“I am writing this statement to correct some of the lies presented in the Netflix show, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, released on December 2, 2025,” she wrote. “These inaccuracies regarding my son Sean’s upbringing and family life are intentionally done to mislead viewers and further harm our reputation.”
She added that she was portrayed as an “abusive parent,” which wasn’t true. Janice noted that she raised her son “with love and hard work.”
“The statement made by Mr. Tim Patterson about Sean‘s life regarding my relationship with my son is not truthful and salacious to promote the series,” she continued. “To the contrary, I loved and nurtured Sean. My memories of Sean growing up are one of a respectful and diligent child and teenager. Sean has always been an industrious, goal-oriented overachiever.”
