50 Cent continues to troll Diddy on the brink of his executive-produced Netflix docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Fif spoke about his role in the Netflix doc, but could not resist reacting to newly released prison photos of the Bad Boy label founder.
“He got old real fast,” 50 said bluntly. “All I had saw from him was the raccoon pictures from the courtroom. When they drew him, he was looking like a raccoon.” That’s it. I was like ‘when did this happen?’”
50 Cent’s reaction to Diddy’s photos reinforced what fans already knew. When it comes to Combs, the G-Unit founder is never backing down from trolling.
Beyond the jokes, the Netflix docu-series has faced pushback. Diddy’s legal team issued a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix, alleging the use of stolen footage. A spokesperson for Combs labeled the series a “shameful hit piece” and criticized Netflix for giving creative control to 50 Cent, calling him a “longtime public adversary.” Netflix has since denied the claim and have reinforced that all footage was legally obtained.
How 50 Cent Obtained The Footage
Diddy’s videographer, Michael Oberlies recently addressed those claims in an interview with Rolling Stone.
“For over two years, we have been working on a project profiling Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs,” Oberlies says in a statement provided to Rolling Stone. “The footage in question was not released by me or anyone authorized to handle Sean Combs’ materials. It was by a third party who covered for me for three days while I was out of state. This incident had nothing to do with any fee dispute or contract issue. The actions of the parties involved reflect the lack of integrity every storyteller should uphold. Taking footage intended for our project to advance a narrative that was not our own is both unethical and unacceptable.”
