A new documentary series has brought forward a disturbing allegation from a former associate of the incarcerated music executive. The source claims to have witnessed the star physically assault his mother decades ago, during a period of intense personal crisis.
The alleged incident is said to have occurred in late 1991, following a charity basketball game that ended in tragedy with multiple fatalities. According to the account, the music figure’s mother questioned his career choices in the wake of the disaster. The source states that the exchange escalated, with the young man allegedly striking his mother and using abusive language.
This portrayal stands in stark contrast to the public image of their relationship in recent years. During the executive’s high-profile legal proceedings, his mother submitted a heartfelt letter to the court, describing her son as her emotional support and pleading for leniency. She detailed the pain of their separation during his incarceration and expressed a desire to spend her remaining years with him. Her appeals were unsuccessful, and he is now serving a multi-year sentence.
The documentary itself has been the subject of controversy. Legal representatives for the music mogul have denounced the project, calling it an unauthorized “hit piece” that improperly uses private archival footage. They assert that the material was intended for a future project controlled by the executive himself, alleging its use is both unfair and unlawful.
The series adds another layer to the complex narrative of a figure whose rapid ascent in the entertainment industry has been overshadowed by legal battles and scandal.
