50 Cent is Getting The Last Laugh On Diddy, And He’s Using Netflix to Do It

Now, it’s official: After 50 Cent revealed in May that Netflix won the bidding war for his documentary on Diddy, the series is now officially in the works.

According to Deadline, the project will be directed and executively produced by Alexandra Stapleton along with 50 Cent’s production company G-Unit Film & Television Inc.

Before this project, Stapleton worked on several docuseries, including “How Music Got Free,” “God Save Texas,” “Reggie,” “Just for Kicks.” “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,” Stapleton and Fif said in a statement.

“While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’s 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,” the statement continued.

While 50 Cent is the number one troll for everything about Diddy, it appears that this documentary will take a wide view into the complicated man and how it led to him being indicted on federal charges. It’s a far cry from the behavior 50 Cent has displayed toward Diddy in the past.

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in July, the G-Unit MC revealed that a particular incident led to him distancing himself from the controversial hip-hop mogul: “He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest shit in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman,” Fif said. “And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f***ing with this weird energy or weird shit,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”

“I didn’t ever party or hang out with him,” he later added. “Puff is a businessperson; when [people call him] a producer, I see people that were taken advantage of, who produced things that he took from them. He got the credit. He’s not a producer. He’s been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it. I don’t have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn’t take to hanging out with that.”

The Bad Boy Entertainment founder is currently sitting behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York after being arrested by federal authorities. Earlier this week, Thalia Graves alleged in a newly filed civil suit that she was sexually assaulted by Combs and his bodyguard, Joseph Sherman, in the summer of 2001, according to court documents obtained by The Root.

There’s not yet an air date for the docuseries.
