As Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs continues to serve his four-year (or 50 month) prison sentence<\/a>, one of his fellow rappers is preparing to release a show centered around him. It was reported in 2024 that Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson was producing a documentary<\/a> about Combs\u2019 alleged misdeeds and, much to the surprise of fans, the first trailer for the Diddy docuseries<\/a> dropped days ago. Given that Jackson and Combs have long been feuding, some believed that played into the doc\u2019s conception. Now, Jackson is weighing in on that notion.<\/p>\n

50 Cent On Whether His Beef With Diddy Prompted Him To Make The Documentary<\/p>\n

Directed by Alexandria Stapleton, Sean Combs: The Reckoning is a four-part series featuring personal footage of Combs in the six-day lead-up to his arrest and indictment in September 2024<\/a>. Said footage was shot with Combs\u2019 knowledge and, as of this writing, it remains unclear as to exactly how Curtis Jackson and his team procured the video. Both Jackson and Stapleton recently sat down with ABC News<\/a> to discuss their doc, and Robin Roberts asked \u201cFiddy\u201d if his history with Combs led him to make the show. He said:<\/p>\n

What they consider a pre-existing beef, right? For 20 years, right? It\u2019s me being uncomfortable with [Diddy] suggesting that he takes me shopping. I looked at it as like \u2014 it was like a tester, like, \u2018maybe you\u2019ll come play with me,\u2019 type of thing. It\u2019s not personal. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The overall argument that\u2019s been made by some critics is that 50 Cent is merely looking to expose the \u201cCome with Me\u201d performer\u2019s actions as opposed to providing a platform for those who\u2019ve made claims against him. In addition to saying the doc wasn\u2019t tied to any personal animosity towards Combs, Jackson also made note of a broader motivation for making it. And that involves the hip-hop community:<\/p>\n

If I didn\u2019t say anything, you would interpret it as hip-hop is fine with his behaviors. There\u2019s no one else being vocal.<\/p>\n

Shortly after Diddy\u2019s arrest in 2024, singer and rapper Ray J shared similar comments about the community<\/a> coming together to condemn his actions (though he later called for Combs\u2019 release<\/a> due to a supposed lack of evidence). On the other hand, Curtis Jackson has shared a bevy of other thoughts about Diddy over the past several months.<\/p>\n

What Did 50 Cent Say About Diddy Amid His Legal Woes?<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, Fiddy hasn\u2019t held back his thoughts on Sean Combs, even taunting him on social media on several occasions using A.I-generated images. After Combs received his mixed verdict<\/a> at the end of his trial in July, Jackson sarcastically lauded him for not being convicted on the racketeering or (RICO) charge. Jackson also declared that he\u2019d do what he could to prevent Combs from being pardoned<\/a> by President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diddy hasn\u2019t formally responded to the critiques from the \u201cIn da Club\u201d rapper amid his incarceration. The Sean John founder was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution this past summer and, in October, he received his sentencing. He\u2019s currently serving time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey and will be released in June 2028. As for whether Diddy will have the opportunity to watch Fiddy\u2019s documentary about him, that remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Anyone else with a Netflix subscription<\/a>, however, can watch Sean Combs: The Reckoning \u2013 which also includes a host of interviews \u2013 when it drops on December 2.<\/p>\n
