Sean “Diddy” Kobs passed through a hearing to portray the James Brown In Universal’s biography in 2014 ‘Get on up’ As it was revealed in the trial of Hip Hop tycoon for illegal trafficking in people with the aim of sexual exploitation, blackmail and sexualization.

Finally, the late Chandwick Bowzmann took the role. Diddy’s interest in the role was revealed during the “Mia”, his former assistant, who accuses him of rape and sexual assault and testified in the trial.

Various messages between Mia and the defendant were presented to the court as evidence. In a August 2020 message, when Candwick Bowzman died, Mia reminded Diddy that she “auditioned for the role” by James Brown. In particular, he said he had a copy of the video from his audition and asked him if he wanted to send it. According to the witness, audition was not just a simple tape, it was a complete “production” that took a week to complete.

Throughout the eight years he worked for the Komps, Mia argued that she was under violence and sexual assault. He said that he did not want to tell anyone about the alleged rape and “he wanted to take him with her when he died”, adding that he had been “brainwashed” by the compress and “constantly seeking his approval” even after stopping to work for him.
