Netflix is moving forward with a documentary series about Sean “Diddy” Combs in collaboration with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, amid the serious charges the music mogul faces, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and multiple allegations of sexual assault and abusive behavior. The streaming platform confirmed it had commissioned the project earlier this year, with production currently ongoing and a premiere date yet to be announced.
The series will be directed and executive produced by Alexandra Stapleton through her House of Nonfiction production company, while Jackson will executive produce under his G-Unit Film & Television banner. In a joint statement, Stapleton and Jackson emphasized the significant human impact of the story, describing it as a complex narrative that spans decades. They aim to provide a nuanced perspective that goes beyond the current headlines, highlighting the broader contributions of hip-hop culture while addressing the disturbing allegations against Combs.
As of now, Combs is being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, the only federal prison in New York City. He is facing a growing number of allegations, including a recent civil lawsuit filed by Thalia Graves, who accused him of severe sexual assault at his recording studio in 2001 and selling a video of the incident. Graves is the eleventh person to publicly allege that Combs sexually assaulted them.
In addition to Netflix’s project, another docuseries about Combs is in development at Investigation Discovery, set to premiere in 2025, produced by Quiet On Set and Maxine Productions.
Notably, Jackson, a longtime rival of Combs, has taken to social media to troll him amidst the ongoing controversies, adding an extra layer of drama to the unfolding narrative.
