Bad Boy Records: A prominent New York City-based entity in the music and entertainment sector, Bad Boy Records, founded by Sean "Diddy" Combs in 1993, specialises in record production, artist management, and music publishing. It primarily targets the hip-hop and R&B market, achieving significant success in the 1990s, notably being named Billboard’s top rap label in 1995 and launching careers of influential artists like The Notorious B.I.G. The label’s overall business focus was on discovering and promoting talent. However, prosecutors have alleged that Combs utilised this entity to facilitate various illicit activities.
