Rapper 50 Cent is reportedly producing a Netflix documentary about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lengthy sexual abuse allegations.
A representative for 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, confirmed the Netflix documentary to People magazine. Meanwhile, Netflix’s camp said they launched the project earlier this year — though an air date has not been scheduled.
Variety reported that Alexandria Stapleton is directing the Netflix documentary, which is in production.
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said in an exclusive statement to Variety.
TMZ reported that proceeds from the Diddy documentary will be donated to sexual abuse survivors.
A staunch critic of Diddy, 50 Cent recently took to social media to mock the embattled producer about authorities allegedly seizing 1,000 bottles of baby oil amid an ongoing federal investigation.
“I don’t do NO puffy party’s. you didn’t believe me 🤨but I bet you believe me now!!!,” 50 Cemt wrote on Instagram alongside an edited picture of “Diddy Oil.”
Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested outside a Manhattan hotel on September 16, following months of mounting abuse and sexual assault allegations.
In March, federal authorities raided Combs’ homes in Holmby Hills, California, and Miami. Reports indicated that the raid was connected to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The reported raids also occurred four months after R&B singer Cassie Ventura accused him of sex trafficking and abuse. In a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, she alleged that Combs drugged her and forced her to have sex with other men. The pair settled the lawsuit a day after its filing.
However, in May, a video surfaced showing Combs assaulting Ventura at a California hotel in 2016. After the video was released, Combs put out a video expressing remorse for his behavior. That video is mentioned in the criminal charges filed this week against Combs.
Two more accusers came forward a week after Ventura’s lawsuit. One of the women claimed Combs drugged and raped her at Syracuse University in New York in 1991. Combs denied those allegations before a third accuser, Liza Gardner, levied similar allegations against him.
In that case, Gardner claimed Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall drugged and raped her and a friend following an Uptown Records event in 1990. Gardner said she was 16 at the time of the incident. She also accused Combs of choking her a day after the assault.
Days after footage of the 2016 assault was publicized, two more women filed lawsuits against Combs. One of those women was April Lampros, a student at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology who reportedly met Combs in 1994. Lampros accused Combs in the lawsuit of sexually assaulting her on four instances between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s.
Lampros claimed Combs promised to mentor her and connect her with executives in the fashion industry. Instead, Combs allegedly forced her to drink before raping her in a hotel room. Lampros recalled another instance in which Combs forced her to perform oral sex on him in a parking garage while a parking attendant watched.
Reports indicated that Combs has been accused of committing or facilitating sexual abuse in at least eight lawsuits. He has denied those allegations.
Combs, who has been denied bond twice, remains jailed as he awaits trial.
