50 Cent Helped Make a New Netflix Doc About His Longtime Nemesis Sean Combs

Diddy’s longtime nemesis 50 Cent is releasing a documentary about himself on Netflix

A new Netflix documentary will chronicle the rise and fall of disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs after he served a four-year prison sentence on federal prostitution charges.

The four-part documentary, titled “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” executive produced by rapper and longtime foe of Combs “50 Cent,” will feature exclusive interviews with former members of his inner circle and “never-before-seen material,” according to a Netflix press release.

Each episode will chronicle Combs’ media empire and how it concealed a “dark underworld” full of dark secrets.

Director and co-producer Alexandria Stapleton (“Hello, Privilege. It’s Me, Chelsea”) said she was interested by the bravery of Comb’s ex-girlfriend, Casandra Fine Ventura, known professionally as Cassie, who filed a sexual assault lawsuit against him in November 2023.

“I wondered how she had the confidence to go out there against a mogul like Sean Combs,” the filmmaker told Netflix in a statement. “I instantly knew it was a stress test of whether we’ve changed as a culture, as far as being able to process allegations like this in a fair way.”

A very pregnant Ventura was the star witness in Combs’ federal trial and provided days of harrowing and emotional testimony. Another witness, who confirmed under the pseudonym Jane, confirmed that Combs threatened to stop paying her rent if she didn’t have sex with other men at his behest after she said she didn’t want to. On July 2, a New York jury found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution while acquitting him of the most serious charges of racketeering and sex-trafficking.

“I’m grateful to everyone who came forward and trusted us with their stories,” 50 Cent said in a statement to Netflix, adding he was “proud to have Alexandria Stapleton as the director on the project to bring this important story to the screen.”

Following Combs’ mixed verdict in his criminal sex trafficking and racketeering case, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department began an investigation into a newly reported sexual battery allegation against the former rapper. An alleged victim, a male music producer and publicist who lives in Largo, Florida, accused Combs of instructing him to perform a sex act during a photoshoot in late 2020, according to reports from ABC News and the Associated Press.

The victim purported that the photoshoot took place at a Los Angeles warehouse and involved clothes that formerly belonged to late rapper Notorious B.I.G., the outlets reported. “We received an official copy of the report,” Deputy Alejandra Parra wrote in a statement to USA TODAY. “Special Victims Bureau will be investigating the allegations.” In response, Combs’ legal team called the meaningful claims “meritless.”
