Overview

For the first time, Puff Daddy sits down to tell VH1 his entire, dramatic life story. From his mother teaching him how to fight in the family kitchen to building a mini-empire as a paper delivery boy to becoming the youngest executive in the music biz at 19, this episode traces Puff Daddy's meteoric rise from Harlem to the top of the hip hop world. Covered are the tragic loss of his best friend, rap giant, Biggie Smalls, his storybook romance with Jennifer Lopez and their heartbreaking split, as well as the NYC nightclub arrest that almost put him away for good. From the tough streets of Harlem to the boardwalks of East Hampton High Society, we'll uncover what drives the hardest working man in hip hop. Interviews include Mary J. Blige, Rev. Run (Run DMC), Clive Davis, Jon Favreau, Lyor Cohen (Def Jam), Andre Harrell (J Records) and more.
