In a preview clip for the TV show, the musical talent shared how he reconciled his life with his father&#8217;s.
&#8216;My father was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed when I was three years old,&#8217; he explained. &#8216;My dad was a hustler. He was a narcotics dealer. He was a hustler. So, from a young age, I learnt that there are only two options: death or imprisonment. It made me work even harder.

Sean &#8216;Diddy&#8217; Combs, 54, was pictured smoking a cigarette in his native Miami after breaking his silence after shocking video of him beating up his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura surfaced this week
In the aforementioned 2013 clip, Diddy said he didn&#8217;t &#8216;have a lot of memories&#8217; of his late father and missed him and his presence as he was growing up, as he needed &#8216;to have someone to ask manly advice and just things that you would ask your father.&#8217;
Diddy said he also missed celebrating milestones with his father &#8216;that would make him proud.&#8217;
Diddy said he thinks his late father &#8216;played a role in&#8217; his hustle en route to success and international stardom.
&#8216;I think that even if we don’t know our parents, we still have their DNA in us,&#8217; he said. &#8216;We have their genes. I have his hustler mentality, his hustler spirit, his drive, his determination. His swag. He’s gonna be on my mind a lot today. My father’s name was Melvin Combs and I’m Melvin’s son, Sean Combs.&#8217;

Diddy was seen out after he took to Instagram on Sunday morning to apologize, saying: &#8216;I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses.&#8217;
Looking into the camera, Diddy said: &#8216;So difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you got to do that. I was f***ed up.
&#8216;I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I&#8217;m disgusted.
He continued: &#8216;I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.

Diddy&#8217;s statement on Sunday drew criticism from Cassie&#8217;s attorney Meredith Firetog, who said in a statement that it reeked of selfishness
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/20/00/85076333-13436299-image-a-57_1716162440388.jpg" width="634" height="936" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" />
Firetog said that &#8216;Combs’ most recent statement is more about himself than the many people he has hurt&#8217;
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/20/00/85076221-13436299-image-a-58_1716162475202.jpg" width="634" height="940" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" />
Firetog pointed at Diddy&#8217;s immediate reaction after Cassie sued him last autumn
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/20/00/85076225-13436299-image-a-59_1716162489411.jpg" width="634" height="954" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" />
Firetog said that &#8216;when Cassie and multiple other women came forward, he denied everything and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday&#8217;
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/20/00/85076239-13436299-image-a-60_1716162773880.jpg" width="634" height="940" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" />
Firetog pointed that Diddy &#8216;was only compelled to &#8220;apologize&#8221; once his repeated denials were proven false&#8217;
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/20/00/85076281-13436299-image-a-61_1716162787388.jpg" width="634" height="960" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" />
The apology clip from Diddy was indicative of &#8216;his pathetic desperation&#8217; as his life and career crumble around him, Firetog said
Two days after the attack, the pair appeared on the red carpet holding hands for the premiere of The Perfect Match.
&#8216;The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs,&#8217; Cassie&#8217;s attorney Douglas Wigdor said in a statement to DailyMail.com this week.
Wigdor added, &#8216;Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.&#8217;
Cassie sued Combs last November accusing him of raping her, beating her, forcing her to use drugs and have 𝓈ℯ𝓍 with other men while he watched.

In his own statement at the time, Diddy&#8217;s lawyer Ben Brafman said his settling the case was in no way an admission of guilt.
Diddy &#8216;vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations,&#8217; his attorney said at the time
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/20/01/85076305-13436299-image-a-72_1716164697496.jpg" width="634" height="961" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" />
Diddy&#8217;s lawyer said at the time of the settlement that the musical artist &#8216;unequivocally rejected&#8217; Cassie&#8217;s &#8216;persistent demand of $30 million &#8230; as blatant blackmail&#8217;
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/05/20/01/85076299-13436299-image-a-73_1716164993071.jpg" width="634" height="933" data-gallery-handler-attached="true" />
Diddy&#8217;s attorney had said Cassie&#8217;s lawsuit was &#8216;riddled with baseless and outrageous lies&#8217;

The mother of two of Sean Diddy Combs&#8217; sons, Misa Hylton, has shared footage of the aid in the rapper&#8217;s Los Angeles mansion, calling it an &#8216;overtly militarized force&#8217;
In the statement, Spacey, in what many believed to be an effort to pivot the discussion away from the damaging allegations, confirmed he was gay.
&#8216;As those closest to me know,&#8217; Spacey said, &#8216;I have had relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man.&#8217;
The following month, in November of 2017, former Today show anchor Matt Lauer acknowledged a degree of wrongdoing after he was fired by NBC following allegations of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual misconduct.
&#8216;There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions,&#8217; Lauer said. &#8216;To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry. As I am writing this I realize the depth of the damage and disappointment I have left behind at home and at NBC.
&#8216;Some of what is being said about me is untrue or mischaracterized, but there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed. I regret that my shame is now shared by the people I cherish dearly.&#8217;
