NEW YORK – Rapper and producer 50 Cent has opened up about the complexities of his upcoming Netflix documentary on Sean “Diddy” Combs, which delves into the music mogul’s alleged history of sexual assault, abuse, and recent legal troubles.
During an appearance on GMA3: What You Need to Know on Friday, December 13, the G-Unit founder revealed that the project has grown increasingly challenging due to the steady stream of new accusations against Combs.
“An Octopus with Many Moving Parts”
“It’s a difficult project,” 50 Cent said. “Because every day there are new accusations coming out, new things that happened. It’s become an octopus, with so many powers and so many things going on there.”
The rapper first announced the documentary in November 2023, shortly after Diddy and singer Cassie Ventura reached a settlement in a high-profile lawsuit. In the days following the settlement, two more women came forward with sexual abuse claims against Diddy, triggering a cascade of lawsuits.
Legal Troubles and Allegations
In September, Diddy was indicted on federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors allege that he used his business empire to exploit and abuse women, while also engaging in obstruction of justice and other acts of violence.
The flood of allegations against Diddy has posed unique challenges for the documentary, with dozens of lawsuits filed and three new complaints emerging just this week.
When asked if he had anticipated the sheer volume of accusations, 50 Cent admitted, “No, not this bad. Not this much stuff. I don’t think anyone could have anticipated this many accusations and things that have taken place.”
A Broader Examination
The documentary, which will reportedly explore both Diddy’s career and personal controversies, aims to provide a comprehensive look at the allegations that have cast a shadow over his legacy.
While no release date has been confirmed, the project is already generating significant attention as it promises to examine one of the entertainment industry’s most powerful and controversial figures.
As legal proceedings against Diddy continue, 50 Cent’s documentary is expected to shed light on the broader implications of these accusations for the entertainment world.
