What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Besides being very informative is also educational. Since the first Episode I was captivated by the thorough description of the story. I love how Brian explains all the legal terminology, so we can better understand how Sean got to the point of being a famous person up to being arrested and accused with tons of charges.

Spacefoooo · May 2025

Really enjoying this in-depth, provocative but not sensational approach to the Diddy trial. Buckmire rules the air waves.

Feral Rhetor · May 2025

This is a good podcast that focuses on the relevant details and explains some of the more complex facets objectively without capitalizing on the salaciousness of some of the details.

Donna.s.b · May 2025

This is exceptional coverage of Diddy’s rise and this case! Brian’s voice and insight is impeccable!! I’d listen to him talk about anything! Great job Bad Rap team!!

sagebty · May 2025

The podcast started really well by providing so much information but now so much information is left out that listeners are not getting the full picture. I only say this because I started following the case from some YouTubers and other media and there is so much information about this case that’s not reported on this podcast.
