50 Cent has never held back when it comes to speaking his mind about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and the accusations surrounding him. He’s gone as far as producing a whole Netflix documentary on the subject, and recently opened up about the struggles he’s faced putting it together.
On Good Morning America, the 49-year-old mogul shared some of the behind-the-scenes challenges he’s encountered in the process. 50 admitted that it’s a “difficult project”, because “every day, there’s new accusations coming out, it’s new things that happened.” The rapper also compared the documentary to an “octopus,” as it holds “so many powers and so many things going on.”
When 50 Cent was asked if he saw the Diddy allegations coming, he answered: “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.”
It’s no shock that 50 Cent’s involved in the documentary — he’s been vocal about Diddy for years. Their beef goes way back, even before the allegations surfaced. In 2006, on his track “The Bomb,” 50 made some bold, unproven claims, saying Diddy knew who shot Biggie. Diddy’s always denied any connection to that, though.
Earlier this year, 50 Cent made it official by posting a screenshot of a feature from Variety, confirming the documentary was on.
In the caption, the rapper penned: “I been telling y’all about all this weird s***, I don’t do NO puffy party’s. you didn’t believe me, but I bet you believe me now!”

In a joint statement, 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.”
