The Assignment with Audie Cornish

Explaining Diddy’s Domination and Downfall

Listen Later

As Sean “Diddy” Combs stands trial in New York, the music industry is reckoning with a hard truth: how did he stay untouchable for so long? Music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy—who once interned at Bad Boy Records—joins Audie to unpack how hip-hop missed its Weinstein “Me Too” moment.  

Krishnamurthy is the author of Fashion Killa: How Hip-Hop Revolutionized High Fashion.
