The Swagg Man Affair: Hip-hop, Influence and Bitcoin, a groundbreaking documentary series exploring the spectacular and controversial trajectory of Swagg Man. Known for his extravagant style, his displays of wealth on social networks and his provocative personality, the influencer and rapper made his mark as soon as he emerged in 2009. Yet behind his meteoric rise lies a much murkier story, involving accusations of fraud, a high-profile trial and a quest for truth on social networks.
The Swagg Man Affair: Hip-hop, influence and bitcoin will be broadcast on Disney+ from February 26, 2025.
Synopsis: Through an investigation conducted in several countries, the documentary series explores the career of Swagg Man, an exuberantly stylish influencer accused of fraud. Testimonies from former fans, lawyers, journalists and personalities from the world of influence shed light on this case, which questions the excesses of digital technology and the unbridled quest for fame.
Produced by Imagissime, this three-part 35-minute documentary series offers an in-depth investigation that will appeal as much to fans of the world of influencers as it does to fans of legal tales. Through the testimonies of journalists, former friends and digital experts, the series sheds light on the mechanisms of social networks, the representation of wealth online and the legal consequences of the dubious practices of certain influencers.
Those who have followed similar cases such as the Anna Delvey scam(Inventing Anna on Netflix) or the Fyre Festival scandal(Fyre: The Best Festival That Never Happened) may be intrigued by L'affaire Swagg Man, which explores comparable themes from a French and international angle.
The story of Swagg Man has already been the subject of several investigations, notably in XXI magazine in 2022. This documentary series builds on these works, mobilizing a team of twelve specialists, including directors Raïssa Botterman, Bruno Lus and Marion Dupas, to analyze the various facets of this affair. Using a rigorous journalistic approach, the series sets out to understand how such a flamboyant figure could go from dream to controversy.
With L'affaire Swagg Man : Hip-hop, influence et bitcoin, Disney+ offers a documentary series that questions the world of influence and its excesses, based on an emblematic case from the early 2010s. Combining never-before-seen testimonies, analysis of the phenomenon and deciphering the role of social networks, this production promises to be captivating for anyone interested in the mysteries of the web and the illusions of digital celebrity.
