Beyonce and Diddy in 2003.
Just a year ago, the world knew P. Diddy as a three-time Grammy winner and uber-successful rapper, record producer, and record executive.
That has changed in recent months.
Diddy's California home was raided in March, and he was arrested by federal authorities in September. Since then, there's been accusation after terrible accusation made about him.
Women and men have come forward in droves alleging harassment, aggression, and violence stemming from the mogul, whose real name is Sean Combs. He is currently awaiting trial at a detention center in Brooklyn.
Not surprisingly, conspiracy theories have run abound concerning Diddy's wild lifestyle and shady activities. Names such as Beyonce and her husband, Jay-Z, have been added to the mix. One theory suggests that Beyonce and Combs were involved in the death of Aaliyah, a popular entertainer who died in a plane crash in 2001.
Diddy's family has gone on record slamming all of these theories.
But what was really going on behind the scenes?
We'll likely have to wait for the trial to find out.
