50 Cent has signed on to produce a docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ unfolding sex crimes case with Netflix.
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and the project’s director, Stapleton, told Variety in a joint statement Wednesday.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives,” the statement continued.
The “In da Club” rapper, 49, called the allegations against Diddy “disturbing” and urged viewers to remember that Combs’ actions are “not the full story of hip-hop and its culture.”
“We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions,” the statement continued.
Fiddy will produce the project through his G-Unit Film & Television company, and Stapleton will executive produce via his House of Nonfiction company. Texas Crew Productions is also producing the series.
The “Just A Lil Bit” artist announced that he was documenting the sex crime allegations against Combs last December after the Bad Boy Records producer was sued by several women for sexual assault — including his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
The Branson Cognac founder, who has been rivals with Diddy for years, teased a clip on X that showed Bad Boy Records rapper Mark Curry claiming that Combs would spike bottles of champagne at his parties for women attendees to drink.
The Hip Hop star, born Curtis James Jackson III, said that proceeds from the series will help support survivors of sexual assault.
Last week, 50 trolled Combs over the more than 1,000 bottles of lube feds found at the music mogul’s mansion in a raid.
Combs was arrested on Sept. 16 and charged with three counts: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in jail on suicide watch while awaiting trial after being denied bail.
Combs’ downward spiral came in November 2023 when Cassie sued him for raping and abusing her throughout their 10-year relationship. Diddy denied the accusations and they settled the suit the next day.
However, Combs was caught in the lie in May 2024 when a video surfaced of the rapper brutally assaulting Cassie in a hotel in 2016, forcing him to issue a public apology.
Since then, at least a dozen people have come forward with assault allegations against the Grammy-winning father of seven.
