Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson said he left out certain sensational details from the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning to focus on broader legal and cultural issues. Jackson, the executive producer of the four-part series, told The Sherri Shepherd Show that some footage and commentary were cut for time, including a personal matter involving music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Jackson addressed the omission during a televised interview this week. He said the doc did not include every piece of footage he had collected. “He has a baby by a woman who was dating Tupac,” Jackson said, referring to Diddy’s daughter with Sarah Chapman.
Chapman once dated Tupac Shakur in the mid-1990s, a fact made public in entertainment reporting. The daughter, Chance Combs, was born in 2006, but that detail did not make the final cut, according to Jackson.
Unused Footage and Potential Release
Jackson hinted that the material could see the light of day outside the limited Netflix run. “Everyone starts to feel a little more comfortable when they see other people telling their truth. So yeah, it’s got to be something on YouTube coming,” he said.
He suggested that the four-episode structure left little room for all the footage he had planned. “There was a lot of personal footage of Diddy that didn’t make the documentary,” Jackson told the show’s host.
The revelation has fans and critics speculating about what other unseen clips may exist. Some reports indicate Jackson’s comments sparked misinformation online, with speculation about connections to Kidada Jones that were later clarified.
Jackson did not specify how much of the cut footage directly pertained to the Tupac-related matter. He did, however, express confidence that the documentary presented a comprehensive narrative despite omissions.
The docuseries has drawn both praise and criticism since its release. Supporters argue the film exposes serious allegations and sheds light on powerful abuses, while detractors point to potential bias. On The View, host Alyssa Farah Griffin called Jackson’s work “mind-blowing” and suggested he uncover further locked files.
Meanwhile, Combs’ family has publicly pushed back. His mother, Janice Combs, released a statement this week calling certain portrayals in the documentary “lies” and “inaccuracies.” She defended her family’s reputation and denied various allegations.
Combs, who is serving a federal prison sentence related to transportation for prostitution convictions, has not commented directly on Jackson’s recent disclosures. His legal team previously labeled the documentary a “shameful hit piece” that attempted to misappropriate private footage.
