50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, said: “Look, it seems like I’m doing extremely outrageous things, but I haven’t.” It’s really me saying what I’ve been saying for ten years.
“Now the news is getting more comprehensive… I’m like, ‘Hey, it’s just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff all the time, because this isn’t my style.’
The two rappers have been involved in a long feud since they met in the 1990s, when they ran in the same circles, but 50 Cent never considered Combs a friend.
In 2006, any pretense of even a working relationship was crushed when 50 Cent released his diss track, The Bomb.
In it, he accused Diddy of being involved in the 1997 murder of fellow artist Biggie Smalls.
Diddy has been plagued by rumors that he knows more about the deaths of Biggie and Tupac and was named in the latter’s court papers. He denies any involvement.

The In Da Club hitmaker has been teasing the docuseries for many months, with both star and director Alexandria Stapleton saying the series would be a “complex narrative spanning decades.”
A statement read: ‘This is a story with significant human impact. It’s a complex narrative that spans decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.
‘We remain steadfast in our commitment to giving voice to the voiceless and presenting authentic and nuanced perspectives.
“While the allegations are disturbing, we urge everyone to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the entire story of hip-hop and its culture. Our goal is to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions. ‘
50 Cent will executive produce through his G-Unit Film & Television banner, while Stapleton produces for House of Nonfiction.
