Diddy has hit out at 50 Cent and Netflix’s new docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, labelling it a “shameful hit piece” that uses “stolen footage that was never authorized for release.”
Shortly before the four-part series, which “unpacks the shocking allegations behind [Diddy] and his Bad Boy empire, spanning decades of his life and career,” premiered on Netflix on Tuesday (December 2), a spokesperson for the incarcerated mogul issued a statement dismissing the documetary’s credibility.
Puffy’s team takes particular issue with the inclusion of never-before-seen footage recorded in the days leading up to his September 2024 arrest, showing the Bad Boy boss strategizing with his legal team over a phone call.
“We need to find someone who will work with us who has worked in the dirtiest of dirty businesses … We are losing,” Combs, who at the time had been hit with a wave of sexual assault lawsuits and was soon to be indicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, says in the clip.
