Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s docuseries on Sean “Diddy” Combs has been officially confirmed for Netflix.
In May, we reported the streaming giant had secured the rights to the project after a bidding war, with 50 Cent stating that the series would be titled “Diddy Do It?”
On Wednesday, Variety confirmed that the series is indeed in production.
In a statement to the outlet, 50 Cent and co-executive producer Alexandria Stapleton said the project will follow “decades” of alleged abuse.
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions,” the statement continued.

50 Cent will executive produce the docuseries through his G-Unit Film & Television company, while Alexandria Stapleton will executive produce for House of Nonfiction, with Texas Crew Productions also producing.
The “In Da Club” rapper first announced on Instagram that he was developing a documentary on his nemesis and said he’d be bringing “receipts.”
Wednesday’s confirmation follows Diddy’s recent arrest at a New York City hotel on Sept. 16, where he was charged with three felony counts: sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Despite his lawyers offering a $50 million bond, two separate federal judges denied the requests.
Earlier this week, as the investigation continues, an 11th accuser came forward with allegations of abuse.
During a news conference in Los Angeles, accuser Thalia Graves tearfully said she was drugged and raped by Diddy and an associate in 2001 at Bad Boy Studios in New York.
Combs has denied all of the accusers’ accusations.
