As Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs awaits trial on charges of kidnapping, drugging and sex trafficking women, industry insiders who knew him during his meteoric rise in the 1990s speak exclusively to the BBC about their experiences.

Daniel Evans, who worked at Bad Boy Records between 1994 and 1997, has told the BBC’s Investigations team that women were flown in for sex.

He and other employees also recall a culture of big money, threats of violence and sex in the studios of Diddy’s Bad Boy record label. Diddy denies all the allegations.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty hears about the findings from BBC Investigations Correspondent Rianna Croxford.

The Diddy on Trial podcast is here to investigate the rumours, confront the theories, and give you the answers that you need.
