Diddy’s Team Pushes Back Against Netflix Ahead of Docuseries Release
The moment Netflix announced it would be dropping a docuseries tied to Diddy’s name, you could already feel the tension in the air. But today, it officially erupted. A rep for Sean “Diddy” Combs didn’t just clap back.
They cleared the whole stage.
According to the rep, Netflix’s move isn’t just bold. They’re calling it straight-up disrespectful and illegal. They accuse the platform of using footage that was never cleared, never approved, and definitely never meant to be handed over to Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who executive-produced the project. Diddy’s people argue that Netflix knows exactly what it’s doing and is choosing chaos for clicks.
The statement begins with heat:
“Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is nothing more than a disgraceful hit piece. The teaser on ‘GMA’ today proves that Netflix used unauthorized footage that was never cleared for release.”
That line alone could power a whole generator.
From there, the spokesperson says Netflix is fully aware that Diddy has been collecting footage since he was “19 to share his own narrative, on his own terms.” According to them, the streamer is basically snatching years of personal content without permission. They call it “fundamentally unjust and illegal.”
Netflix is being accused of sensationalizing every moment of Diddy’s life while ignoring “the truth.” The rep claims the doc pulls private footage, including legal convos “never meant to see the light of day,” and says no rights were given to Netflix or anyone else.
Things get even more personal when 50 Cent’s involvement comes up.
The statement continues:
“It’s truly shocking that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson – a long-time rival with a personal grudge who has spent way too long trashing Mr. Combs.” Diddy’s rep says it doesn’t just feel shady. It feels like a betrayal. They say he respected Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos and admired legends like Clarence Avant. So to see his story being handed to someone who’s publicly taunted him for years hits different.
The final blow: “For Netflix to give his life story to someone who’s been publicly attacking him for years is not just unnecessary but a deeply personal slap in the face. At the very least, he expected some fairness from folks he respected.”
This rollout is turning into its own storyline. What’s meant to be a docuseries might end up being the opening chapter of a much bigger fight.
