AlthoughKeeping Up With the Kardashianswasn’t the first of its kind in the reality TV landscape, as family-centered shows likeThe Real Housewivespredated it by year, the former proved to be a massive hit among viewers. Even though its successor has been criticized for missing the spark of the original, the Kardashians’ commitment to the reality TV space is impressive, which not many have been able to replicate.
Another major musical figure who aspired to make it big in the reality TV landscape was P Diddy, who later expressed regret over its negative impact on his image.
P Diddy fumbled the ball with his reality TV goals
Before his fall from grace as a result of boatloads of allegations,Diddy, who is currently awaiting trial, stepped his footing into reality TV withMaking the Band, which promised new opportunities for potential stars (viaEW).
I thought it would give people a chance to understand what I do every day. I’ve never been interested in doing any cheesy reality show or Osbournes or anything that would overexpose me more than I’m already overexposed. This thing is real.
But in contrast toKim Kardashian, who stuck withKUWTK, irrespective of bashing from fans and critics, Diddy later shared regret overMaking the Band, as he added that the drama in the show painted him in a negative light.

The disgraced music mogul further alleged that fans, who presumed he was a–hole, fell for his “incredible acting” (viaThe Austin Chronicle).
One of the mistakes I’ve made was doing reality TV. When I was doing Making the Band, nobody understood that I’m an incredible actor. A lot of people think I yell at people and tell them to get cheesecake and that I’m an a–hole. Well, I am an a–hole sometimes.
However, given the string of allegations lined up against the rapper, the claims about his questionable behavior on the reality show being staged are debatable.
One P Diddy reality TV show was canned as a result of the allegations
Despite regretting delving into the reality TV business withMaking the Band, this IP wasn’t his lone venture into this route, as in the late 2010s, he kickstarted another show,I Want to Work for Diddy.Not only does it not sound enticing in the wake of the numerous allegations against the music mogul, which includes-x trafficking and racketeering charges, but the charges further contributed to the canning ofDiddy+7(viaVariety).

Considering he can get a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted, a potential True Crime documentary could be his lone chance to hit the TV screens again.
