50 Cent to make documentary about Diddy abuse allegations for Netflix
The docuseries will be directed by Alexandria Stapleton
Curtis ā50 Centā Jackson is making a docuseries for Netflix about the assault and sexual abuse allegations against disgraced music mogul Sean āDiddyā Combs.
Jackson, 49, has been a longtime critic of Combs, 54, who is currently āon suicide watchā in prison as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, according to reports.
The new Netflix series will be directed by Alexandria Stapleton, known for her 2023 baseball documentary Reggie and the 2024 piracy doc How Music Got Free.
In a joint statement to The Independent, Jackson and Stapleton said: āThis is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.
āWe remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives.
āWhile the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combsā story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the cultureās broader contributions.ā

Back in May, Jackson wrote on X/Twitter that Netflix had won āthe bidding warā for his Diddy docuseries, adding he would need āmore episodesā of the show greenlit by the streaming platform if allegations against Combs continued to emerge.
Since then Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution for allegedly running a decades-long ācriminal enterpriseā that forced women into sex acts.
In an indictment unsealed earlier this month, federal prosecutors allege Combs threatened and abused women āto fulfill his sexual desiresā by forcing them to engage in recorded sexual activity which he referred to as āFreak Offs.ā

Among the details released by the FBI are that searches of Combsās homes in Miami and Los Angeles led to officers seizing āmore than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.ā
Jackson mocked Diddy over the revelation on social media. In a post on Instagram, the āIn Da Clubā rapper captioned a photograph of himself during a recent appearance on Drew Barrymoreās talk show with the message: āHere I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I donāt have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.ā
Combsā attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has denied any allegations of wrongdoing, claiming his client is āan innocent man with nothing to hide.ā
He said: āMr Combs is a fighter, heās going to fight this to the end.ā
The music mogul has also been accused of rape and sexual abuse in at least nine civil lawsuits this past year.
