We remain steadfast in our commitment to giving voice to the voiceless and presenting authentic and nuanced perspectives.
50 Cent’s long-awaited docuseries on Diddy, which explores allegations of sexual assault and violence against the star, is officially in production at Netflix
Last week, Diddy, whose real name is Sean Love Combs, was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, and is currently awaiting trial at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City.
“While the allegations are disturbing, we urge everyone to remember that Sean Combs’ story does not reflect the full history of hip-hop and its culture. Our goal is to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow broader contributions to the culture.”
50 Cent will executive produce through his G-Unit Film & Television banner, while Stapleton will executive produce for House of Nonfiction.
50 – real name Curtis Jackson – made fun of Diddy last week following the rapper’s indictment on charges of sex trafficking and organized crime.
Among the most shocking claims is how federal agents seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant from his homes in Miami and Los Angeles during raids earlier this year.
They used them in ‘freak offs’ – ‘elaborate and produced sexual performances’ that Diddy allegedly organised and participated in – and ‘baby oil’ quickly became a global trend and left fans posting memes.
50 quickly took aim at the star by posting a photo of himself with Drew Barrymore.
The thorny caption read: ‘Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at home’ before tagging their companies @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.
Fans quickly flooded the post with comments, including: “Who else ran to his page?”, “We were all waiting for you,” “Why did we all wait for 50 to post?”.
In Da Club hitmaker 50 Cent (a longtime Diddy foe) has been teasing the docuseries for many months. Star and director Alexandria Stapleton told Variety that the series would be a “complex narrative spanning decades.”
Others wrote: ‘I got here as fast as I could’, ‘I know I’m not the only one who’s been waiting for 50 to be posted’ and ‘I’ve been waiting for this post all morning’.
50 and Diddy have a bad relationship that dates back at least 18 years, as 50 Cent in 2006 released a song titled The Bomb in which he dissed his longtime rap rival, implying that Diddy was aware of the identity of the person who killed Notorious BIG in 1997.
The series was sold to Netflix after what was described as “a massive bidding war” in May.
This happened days after CNN published a video in 2016 showing Diddy beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie.
Diddy admitted to punching his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016 after CNN published video of the attack, saying in a video apology that he was “truly sorry” and that his actions were “inexcusable.”
“I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I felt sick when I made it. I feel sick now,” the music mogul said in a video statement.
Following Diddy’s apology video, 50 Cent expressed skepticism about his attempt to navigate what appears to be a potentially career-ending crisis.
He wrote: ‘I’m now sure Puffy didn’t do it, he’s innocent and this proves nothing!
“This is what their lawyers are going to say. May God help us all,” he added.
“This is not going to work, who is advising him at this point?” the Grammy-winning rapper said on the social media platform. “SMH, bad decision.”
Combs was sent to jail Tuesday to await trial in his federal sex trafficking case after a magistrate judge ordered him held without bail in a case that accuses him of presiding over a sordid sex crimes empire.
50 Cent, whose hits include Candy Shop, PIMP and If I Can’t, initially reacted to the clip’s circulation on Friday by saying: “Now I’m sure Puffy didn’t do it, he’s innocent, this doesn’t prove anything! This is what his lawyers are gonna say. God help us all.”
50 Cent led the initial charge of Hollywood stars reacting to the raids on Diddy’s homes in March.
He was quick to post images of the investigation, writing: “Things just got serious. The Fed is in every house, damn it, they have the kids in handcuffs.”
He later turned his attention to his ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy, who was allegedly a “sex worker” in a lawsuit filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr. against Diddy.
Joy has strongly denied the accusation, calling it “character assassination.”
It was recently revealed that Combs “has been able to speak briefly with family members and his children over the phone” according to People.
Diddy’s phone call home came amid news that his lawyers are not asking for him to be moved from the “Hell on Earth” Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset, Brooklyn.
“He is very concerned about his children and their well-being,” the source said.
“He has three minor children, two of whom do not have either parent alive while he is incarcerated. Four of his seven children do not have either parent alive while he is incarcerated.”
Another source said the Combs children are “in a state of crisis and shock” following Diddy’s arrest.
“It’s heartbreaking to see the kids in the state they’re in. This is their father, but to them he’s not Diddy, he’s Dad. He’s always been a loving and devoted father.”
She shares Christian, Jessie and D’Lila with the late model and actress Kim Porter, who passed away in 2018 at age 47.
Quincy was Porter’s son with her partner Al B. Sure!, and Combs adopted him.

She shares Justin with stylist Misa Hylton and Chance with businesswoman Sarah Chapman.
In December 2022, he welcomed the arrival of his youngest daughter, Love, with model Dana Tran.
On Tuesday, Justin, Christian and Quincy arrived together at a New York City courthouse to support their father.
Combs’ three daughters and 23-month-old baby were nowhere to be seen.
Another source said People that Diddy will not receive any special accommodations at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.
“He is being treated like any other pre-trial detainee. As with all public figures in his position, he was placed on suicide watch upon entering the facility as a precautionary measure.”
Diddy was arrested and charged last week with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution.
The indictment, which details allegations dating back to 2008, accuses him of abusing, threatening and coercing women for years “to satisfy his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.”
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Following his arrest, a judge denied him bail after he used his and his mother’s Miami home (valued at $50 million) as collateral.
On Wednesday, he lost an appeal to overturn the decision and will remain in custody while awaiting trial.
