“It’s a complex narrative spanning decades,” the rapper told Variety.
Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has sold his docuseries about sex trafficking and racketeering as well as sexual assault and violent abuse allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs to Netflix.
Alexandria Stapelton is set to direct the series, which is currently in production. 50 Cent executive produces the project through his G-Unit Film & Television banner, with Stapleton executive producing for House of Nonfiction.
“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 to Variety.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
50 Cent first announced back in December that G-Unit would be producing the docuseries, shortly after Combs has been sued by four different women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

At the time, 50 Cent shared a clip in which rapper Mark Curry alleged that Combs would spike bottles of champagne at his parties before women drank from them.
Proceeds from the documentary will be used to support sexual assault victims.
Last week, Combs was arrested in New York to face several charges including sex trafficking, drug possession and firearms offences as well as charges that he physically and sexually abused women for years, running a criminal enterprise from at least 2008 that relied on drugs and violence. The rapper is pleading not guilty
If convicted, he faces a sentence of 15 years up to life in prison.
