A judge has ordered Sean "Diddy" Combs to pay $477,700.50 in attorneys' fees to NBCUniversal, court documents obtained by TMZ show. The award comes after the media company successfully defended against his lawsuit over the Peacock documentary "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy."
NBCUniversal had originally asked for $990,292 to cover its full legal bill — meaning Diddy is paying less than half of what the company sought. The judge ruled a reduction was necessary, finding some billed hours excessive even though the hourly rates themselves were reasonable.
The order adds to the financial toll of Diddy's legal collapse. The music mogul is currently incarcerated at Fort Dix federal prison and was recently moved to the special housing unit after reports of an extravagant lifestyle behind bars; he is scheduled for release in early 2028. Though his net worth was estimated in the hundreds of millions, his 2025 federal conviction has battered his finances and reputation.
The blog previously covered a separate Diddy story — his stint in solitary confinement — making this the second chapter of the mogul's ongoing fall from grace.
