Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Bad Boy Story
Following the news that Sean “Diddy” Combs aka Puff Daddy will premiere his Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Bad Boy Story documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival, the music mogul announced an exclusive one-night-only performance at the screening event alongside Bad Boy Entertainment’s finest. That’s right, “First Lady of Bad Boy” Faith Evans, “Queen Bee” Lil’ Kim, and Mase.
Combs, who owns a house in Northwest Woods in East Hampton, and the Bad Boy crew will return to the home of Bad Boy Entertainment, taking the stage at New York’s historic Beacon Theatre on Thursday, April 27, as part of the documentary’s premiere at the 16th Annual Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T.
Following 2016’s massively successful Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour, the performance will once again reunite members of the Bad Boy family for a night celebrating the storied heritage of the iconic label.
“New York is home. This is where Bad Boy began, where the movement started. There was never a question in my mind that this film would premiere right here where it all started,” said Combs. “This is the story of our family - the biggest names in hip-hop history – and what happens when we came together for the first time in two decades. There were ups and downs, a lot of hard work and sacrifice – and more than anything, you see that love that only exists in a family.”
The film is directed by Daniel Kaufman and produced by Live Nation Productions. It is a raw and exclusive look behind the scenes at the history and legacy of Bad Boy through a complex portrait of the label’s mastermind, Combs, as he tries to reunite his Bad Boy Family in the course of a frantic three week rehearsal period.
Celebrating the label’s 20th anniversary, the film traces the label’s emergence in Harlem and Brooklyn, follows its meteoric rise, explores the tragic killing of Biggie Smalls, and celebrates Bad Boy’s influence in reshaping music, fashion, marketing and culture -- all while revealing the love and commitment that form the bonds between the Bad Boy family.
