Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former security team and inner circle members have reportedly signed deals with Netflix to participate in a documentary produced by rival rapper 50 Cent, sources close to the production told The Associated Press on Friday.
The documentary, tentatively titled “Diddy Do It?”, aims to explore the criminal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering faced by Combs, as well as the sexual abuse allegations in multiple civil lawsuits against the music mogul.
“This project will shed light on long-standing allegations and provide a platform for voices that have been silenced,” said a source involved in the production, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the content.
The documentary, still in production, is expected to feature revelations about Combs’ infamous “freak off” parties and alleged misconduct dating back years. It comes in the wake of a lawsuit settled with Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who accused him of rape and sexual abuse.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and director Alexandria Stapleton issued a statement to Variety last month, emphasizing their commitment to presenting “authentic and nuanced perspectives” on the complex narrative.
The project has reportedly attracted interest from Combs’ former associates, with one insider stating, “Many are finally ready to talk, while some have been trying to talk for years and weren’t believed.”
Jackson, who has been vocal about his dislike for Combs, told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this year that he had distanced himself from the star due to “uncomfortable energy.”
As the documentary progresses, it continues to evolve with new allegations emerging. Netflix reportedly won a bidding war for the project, which Jackson’s G-Unit Film & Television company first announced in December.
The documentary’s development coincides with ongoing legal troubles for Combs, including recent police raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
