Sean Combs' shady move after The Notorious B.I.G.'s murder has come back to haunt him, with a former Bad Boy Records co-founder alleging that the mogul charged his estate for the costs of Biggie's funeral. In a new Netflix documentary, Kirk Burrowes revealed that Combs initially planned to bill the entire cost of Biggie's lavish send-off to the label, claiming it as a recoupable charge in Biggie's death.
This move was part of a larger pattern of questionable behavior by Combs following Biggie's murder in 1997. Just six months earlier, Tupac Shakur had also been gunned down in Las Vegas, and the circumstances surrounding Wallace's own assassination remain unsolved to this day. The Bad Boy family, including Faith Evans and Junior M.A.F.I.A., attended the funeral at a Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel on New York City's Upper East Side.
Combs' actions have sparked accusations of exploiting Biggie's legacy for his own gain. Burrowes claimed that Combs tried to change some of the terms of Wallace's recording contract posthumously, which he refused to do, leading to his termination from the label a few months later.
The controversy is not limited to funeral expenses; Combs also allegedly pushed himself onto the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in 1997, while pushing Wallace out of the spotlight. This move was part of Combs' strategy to promote his own debut album, No Way Out, which would be released in July that year.

Can you believe Sean Combs thinking he can just charge Biggie's estate for funeral costs? Like, that's just low 
. I mean, I get it, he was trying to make a buck off Biggie's death, but come on, man... that's just not right 
. And now this doc is coming out and exposing all his shady moves 
. It's like, Kirk Burrowes was right there with him back then and had proof of everything 
. The whole thing just feels so wrong 
. I'm not surprised the Bad Boy family is speaking out against Combs though 
. He's always been a bit too aggressive for my taste 
.
and what's with trying to push wallace out of the spotlight while promoting his own album? that's some shady stuff 
it's like he thinks biggie was just an accessory to his own success 
we need to remember that tupac and biggie were real people, not just symbols for combs' own ego 
like how could sean combs even think to charge biggie's estate for his funeral? that's just cold as hell. and then he tries to play the victim by saying it was a label thing? come on, kirk burrowes is right, combs has always been about that dough 
. like, biggie's memory should be respected not used as a marketing tool. it's crazy how far back this shady move goes and still hasn't been held accountable
. And to think, Faith Evans and Junior M.A.F.I.A. had to deal with this all while grieving for their brother/brother-in-law 
. It's crazy how Combs thought he could just use Biggie's legacy to boost his own career. And now we're seeing the full picture, like what really went down behind the scenes 
.
Like, how could he even think to bill his estate for the funeral costs? That's just disgusting and insensitive on so many levels 
And it's like, this is just one more piece of evidence that Combs has always been more about himself than giving tribute to his fallen artist and friend 
i mean we know he's been shady since the notorious era but this is just low key crazy. i'm so mad for biggie's family and for Kirk Burrowes exposing this. it's crazy to me how combs would try to profit from his own death 
. no way out is just 'no integrity' in my book
. And what's up with trying to push Wallace outta the spotlight just so you can be on Rolling Stone? Dude, if you wanna promote yourself, get your own magazine cover 
. This is some messy stuff.
.
I'm not surprised Sean Combs is still trying to line his pockets with Biggie's cash even after all these years. I mean, it's been 25+ and he's still dodging questions about his shady moves back then. Like, what's the deal with that? The dude had no problem using Biggie's funeral as a chance to get paid back from Bad Boy Records... talk about classless. And let's not forget about Wallace's own life being cut short - does Combs ever think about the families of those artists who got caught up in his drama?! 
just saw this documentary on Sean Combs and it's like... what is he even? Charging Biggie's estate for the funeral costs? That's low, fam! 
.
sean combs is low-key a bad person? i mean i know he's always been about the benjamins but this funeral thing is just wild. like how could you even think to charge a dead guy's family for his own gain?
