50 Cent rolled up to Good Morning America making it crystal clear: whatever folks think is going on between him and Diddy, it ain’t that deep.

Sitting beside Sean Combs: The Reckoning director Alexandria Stapleton, the rapper-turned-power-producer insisted his work on the Netflix documentary about the jailed mogul isn’t about revenge, it’s about truth.
Gayle King kicked things off by asking if anything in the final cut caught him off guard. Fif responded with a half-grin and a shrug, saying he was thrown by the fact Diddy even let cameras roll during legal strategy talks. After a clip aired showing the Bad Boy mogul speaking with his lawyers about the abuse allegations, Fif simply said, “It was surprising that he actually filmed it.”
Stapleton chimed in, pointing out how wild it was to watch a man so obsessed with image let that veneer slip. Diddy, she said, has “a really amazing knack for marketing,” and seeing him try to manage his brand under pressure added layers to the story she wanted to tell.
As we previously reported, Diddy is currently in the slammer because he was convicted of two counts of transporting people for prostitution. He was sentenced to 50 months in prison after a trial in July 2025. He is appealing the conviction and sentence and is also participating in a federal drug rehabilitation program which could potentially reduce his sentence.
More On 50’s Cent’s Interview About The Doc:
One moment in the doc already has people talking: Diddy in Harlem mixing with the community, only to later ask for hand sanitizer because he had “been in the streets among the people,” adding that he felt like he needed to “take a bath.” Fif didn’t hold back: “That shows you his character,” he said. “What’s the odds you would do that in front of a camera? That’s one of the moments where he forgot he was on tape.”
50 also spoke on Cassie’s allegations, which sparked the wave of claims that ultimately led to Diddy’s arrest. He didn’t hedge, didn’t dodge, didn’t sugar-coat. “I feel like Cassie’s a victim in all of this,” he said. “She came in… [She was] like 18, 19 years old, in the very beginning. Over time, [she was] conditioned for it.”
Gayle later asked if he felt hip-hop as a culture was on trial. Fif kept it blunt: staying silent would’ve made it look like the entire industry was cool with the behavior showcased. “There’s no one else being vocal,” he noted.
Stapleton went on to emphasize that the doc isn’t a hit piece. It’s not a parade of enemies, it’s storytelling in their eyes. “Not everyone needed to have an allegation to be a part of this project,” she said. It’s about context, not chaos.
But of course, 50 couldn’t end the interview without a little troll. When King asked how Diddy might react once he finally sits down to watch the documentary, 50 Cent actually cracked a smile. “Like, ‘Wow, this is amazing,’” he said, imitating Diddy’s voice. “I think he’s going to say, ‘This is the best documentary I’ve seen in a long time.’ … He may feel different about pieces and bits of it, but he knows the truth. I think he’ll see the truth in it.”
50 also tweeted on X that this doc on Diddy is not personal nor does he have any beef with him. “What feud, I put two of his kids in my scripted Tv shows. I just didn’t like he said fruity shit to me. 🤨and he said fruity shit to me, I don’t like that! LOL”
