50 Cent said that Diddy’s sons almost took part in his Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning to share their side of the story, but in the end, none of Diddy’s children agreed to be interviewed.
50 Cent appeared on the new cover of Us Weekly on Tuesday (Dec. 9). In the interview, he talked about several things related to the Diddy documentary, including trying to get Diddy’s kids involved.
He explained that he had spoken with one of Diddy’s sons. At one point, they were interested in joining the documentary because they wanted to show their perspective, but they were worried about how everything would be shown on camera.
Even though 50 Cent and Diddy have had issues with each other for years, 50 has worked with Diddy’s sons before. He cast Justin and Quincy in TV shows he produced.
The Reckoning still made a big impact without interviews from Diddy’s family. According to Deadline, the series had 21.8 million views in its first week on Netflix.
On December 1 , one day before the documentary was released — Diddy’s lawyers sent Netflix a cease-and-desist letter demanding it not be shown. They said the series was a “shameful hit piece” that used private footage in the wrong way. Netflix denied those claims.
Even though 50 Cent produced the series, he said he has not spoken to Diddy since Diddy was arrested on federal charges in September 2024.
During Diddy’s court sentencing, all six of his children spoke. Diddy was found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking, but he was found guilty of violating federal prostitution laws. Quincy said in court that the family still loves their father and believes he has changed a lot in recent years.
Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in prison, with time served counted. 50 Cent said the mixed verdict was “luck.” He also said that Diddy was crying because his finances were falling apart and that he should have filed for bankruptcy. According to 50 Cent, Diddy thought he would be released and had even scheduled public speaking events ahead of time.
