On Wednesday, 50 Cent announced that he is moving forward with the documentary about the allegations of sexual assault, and the charges of sex trafficking and racketeering against Combs. Netflix is producing the project, but a release date has not been confirmed
In a statement to Variety, 50 Cent and director Alexandria Stapleton said: “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives.
“While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is 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.”
In March, 50 Cent joked that the documentary might be called “Diddy Do It?”
After the raids in March, 50 Cent made several jokes about Combs on social media.
On March 25, 50 Cent tweeted: “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done.”
“They don’t come like that unless they got a case,” he wrote of the federal raid.
50 Cent then posted a picture to X in March that he implied was artwork for the upcoming documentary, with the title: “Diddy Do It?” The image shows three photos of Combs made to look like they’re in legal case files.
He wrote: “This is gonna break records when this drop.”
50 Cent did not indicate whether the documentary was finished, who else appears in it, or if it has a release date. Artist BossLogic confirmed to Business Insider in March that he made the poster 50 Cent used, but it was unofficial.
