Diddy Slams Netflix Docuseries on His Life as 'Shameful Hit Piece', Accusing 50 Cent of Stolen Footage.
In a scathing response to his highly anticipated Netflix docuseries, Sean "Diddy" Combs has labeled the show a "shameful hit piece" and accused its executive producer, 50 Cent, of incorporating stolen footage. The four-part series, which is set to debut on December 2nd, claims to offer an in-depth examination of Combs's life, including never-before-seen material.
In a statement released through his team, Diddy denies any wrongdoing, claiming that the footage used in the series was obtained without his authorization. He alleges that Netflix has been misusing footage that was originally intended for an unfinished project and accuses 50 Cent of using it as leverage to exact revenge on him.
The situation took a tense turn earlier this week when 50 Cent appeared on Good Morning America, touting the series alongside director Alexandria Stapleton. The two discussed the project without revealing how they obtained the footage, but Stapleton assured the Hollywood Reporter that it was done so "completely legally". Diddy's response, however, suggests otherwise.
Diddy believes the series stems from a personal vendetta by 50 Cent against him, with the rapper himself stating that he didn't release the docuseries out of spite, but rather to raise awareness about Combs's problematic behavior. However, some are skeptical of this claim, given 50 Cent's history of releasing diss tracks targeting Diddy.
As the docuseries approaches its release date, the drama surrounding it continues to unfold. With both parties trading barbs, fans can't help but wonder what other secrets will be revealed in the highly anticipated series.

omg i cant even handle how much this docu series is already causing drama betweeniddy and 50 cent its like theyre both trying to one up each other with their wild accusations newsflash 50 cent u r not fooling anyone with ur "i was just trying to raise awareness" act combs got a point tho about the stolen footage if netflix really used that footage without authorization that would be shady af and i gotta say im lowkey excited to see what kinda tea is spilled in this docu series 
he's like totally being framed here. 50 cent's been acting all shady and it's not fair that they're attacking him like this. i mean, can't we just give him a chance to explain himself? 
the whole thing feels like a big ol' celebrity feud to me 
but seriously, diddy sounds like he's telling the truth about the footage being stolen. it's all so messy and dramatic 
I'm low-key concerned about how this whole thing went down. Like, 50 Cent is already known for his diss tracks against Diddy, so it's hard to take his "raising awareness" excuse at face value 
. And now that Diddy is accusing him of stolen footage? That just adds another layer of drama to the mix 
I'm all about uplifting vibes and not tearing others down, you know? Can't we just focus on raising each other up instead of using our platforms for shade 
? Diddy's concerns about the Netflix docuseries feel valid, but at the same time, 50 Cent has got a history of stirring up drama with his music and public appearances. I wish they could just have an open conversation about what's really going on instead of using it as leverage 
. Let's all take a deep breath and wait for the docuseries to come out, hoping it brings some truth and healing rather than more hurt and division 
.
meanwhile diddy's just over here saying netflix is misusing his stuff and that's just suspicious 
seems like there's more to this story than meets the eye 
.
.
. Diddy's right to call it out as a shameful hit piece, though - I mean, who needs consent when you're just gonna use someone's footage? 
. And can we please not act like this is all about raising awareness for Diddy's behavior? 
. Can we just focus on the music and the artistry for once, you feel me?
. On the other hand, if the footage was indeed stolen without Diddy's permission then that's shady 
.
but honestly i feel bad for the real people who are going to get caught in the middle of this drama... 
. And what's really going on here is the public is getting pulled into this drama and it's just getting nasty 
.
Diddy claims Netflix is misusing the footage while 50 cent says he's just raising awareness about Combs's 'problematic behavior'... like who knows what's really going on here? 
I'm so sick of these celebrity beefs and it's like they're trying to outdo each other with shade 
, he's really getting torn apart by 50 Cent over this docuseries 
. At this point, it feels like we're getting more drama than actual insight into Diddy's life
