Tim “Dawg” Patterson says Combs’ mother hosted sex parties in his childhood home
Tim “Dawg” Patterson, a hip-hop producer who worked with Combs at Bad Boy Records before he left the music industry, is introduced in the documentary as one of Combs’ oldest friends.
Patterson and Combs both grew up in Mount Vernon, New York. When Patterson was a child, a few years older than Combs, he and his mother moved into the bottom floor of Combs’ house.
However, Patterson also remembers a chaotic, sexualised upbringing in the Combs household – largely due to wild parties Janice would often throw with alcohol, drugs, “pimps and pushers”, regardless of whether the kids were home.
