His longtime feud explained. The post 50 Cent Explains His 20-Year ‘Beef’ With Diddy Amid New Netflix Documentary appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.
Rapper 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, has revealed the reason behind his longtime feud with Sean “Diddy” Combs as his new Netflix documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” is set to release on Tuesday, December 2. The “In da Club” singer, alongside the documentary’s director Alexandria Stapleton, sat down with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts in a segment on ABC News to discuss the new series. The trailer for the documentary has already made headlines as it shows exclusive footage of Diddy in the lead-up to his arrest in September 2024.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson reveals why he’s making Sean Combs: The Reckoning on GMA
When asked by Roberts why he was making Sean Combs: The Reckoning in the first place on GMA, 50 Cent shared what made him so “uncomfortable” around Diddy for two decades in the music business.
“What they consider a pre-existing beef, right? For 20 years, right?” Jackson said. “It’s me being uncomfortable with [Sean Combs] suggesting that he takes me shopping.”
He believes Diddy’s request was going to lead to something else he didn’t want to be a part of. “I looked at it as like, it was a tester, like, ‘maybe you’ll come play with me’ type of thing. It’s not personal.”
50 Cent has made similar statements about this awkward conversation he had with Combs in past interviews but in a different context. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in 2024, he said that Diddy’s shopping request was “the weirdest s*** in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman.”
“And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f***ing with this weird energy or weird s***,’ coming off the way he was just moving,” he continued. “From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”
Many point to the ongoing feud between 50 Cent and Diddy having started back in 2006 when the Queens rapper released a track titled “The Bomb” alleging that Combs was somehow involved in the 1997 murder of Biggie Smalls. Diddy has denied those allegations. That said, Jackson’s statement about his “beef” with Diddy lasting 20 years would fit the timeline. as their shopping conversation would have happened around the time he released that track.
Later in the interview with Good Morning America, Roberts pressed Jackson on the criticism the documentary has received for merely exposing Diddy’s actions and capitalizing on his trial instead of providing a platform for his victims. Jackson denied having any personal motivations for creating the film and said that it was important for someone like him to speak out on behalf of his fellow artists in the music business.
“If I didn’t say anything, you would interpret it as hip-hop is fine with his behaviors,” he responded. “There’s no one else being vocal.”
Footage obtained by Netflix for Sean Combs: The Reckoning, as revealed on GMA, shows candid footage of Combs in the days before his arrest in 2024. In a phone conversation with his lawyers at the Park Hyatt hotel in New York City, the rapper admits being afraid that he was losing the case.
“Listen to me,” he says to his legal team. “Let me get off the phone right now, and I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution. No matter, no matter what nobody says… Y’all are not working together the right way. We’re losing.”
50 Cent reacted to the footage, saying that he “was surprised that he actually filmed it.”
Another clip showed Combs walking the streets of Harlem for support, but then later saying in the ride back that he needed hand sanitizer and “to take a bath” from being in contact with so many people. Jackson says this footage of Diddy “should show you his character.”
The four-part documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, premieres on Netflix on December 2. It will examine Diddy’s rise in the hip-hop industry and feature “explosive, never-before-seen materials” and exclusive interview with his former associates, friends, and employees.
