One of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ most vocal critics, rapper and actor 50 Cent, has announced a docuseries centered on the embattled producer’s legal troubles.
50 Cent took to social media on September 25, revealing that Netflix will host his new project about Combs.
‘I’ve been telling y’all about all this weird s**t. I don’t do NO Puffy parties,’ 50 Cent captioned the post. ‘You didn’t believe me, but I bet you believe me now!,’ he added.
Combs is facing serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution in the Southern District of New York. If convicted, he could face life in prison. Combs has pleaded not guilty.
The docuseries, directed by Alexandria Stapleton, is currently in production, according to Variety.
‘This is a story with significant human impact. It’s a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,’ 50 Cent and Stapleton said in a joint statement.
50 Cent first revealed his plans for the docuseries in May, though many doubted the seriousness of his claim, given his history of trolling Combs on social media. The two have had a long-standing feud.
In 2006, 50 Cent released a diss track, ‘The Bomb,’ in which he implied Combs knew the identity of the person who killed Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G., who was both a friend and protégé of Combs.
Wallace was fatally shot in Los Angeles in March 1997 while traveling in a convoy that included Combs, who was in a different vehicle at the time of the shooting. No one has ever been charged with Wallace’s murder.
In his diss track, 50 Cent rapped, ‘I guess this means I won’t be invited to the White Parties in the Hamptons,’ a nod to Combs’ famous soirées in the upscale New York community.
50 Cent has also suggested that Combs was involved in the 1996 murder of rapper Tupac Shakur, claims that Combs called ‘nonsense’ in a 2016 interview on ‘The Breakfast Club.’ He has never been charged in connection with either case.
