It looks like 50 Cent may not be done with Diddy.

The “Candy Shop” rapper confirmed there’s enough footage that didn’t make it into Sean Combs: The Reckoning, to produce new episodes.

“Everything couldn’t make it. There’s only four episodes, right?,” 50 Cent told host Sherri Shepherd on the Wednesday, Dec. 10 episode of Sherri. “You had to pick and choose things, like even in the area where [Combs] chooses to date people who he knows previously dated someone [he’s familiar with]. He has a baby by a woman that was dating Tupac, but we had to cut it down.”

50 Cent executive produced the documentary series from director Alex Stapleton.

Shepherd asked the hip-hop mogul if he plans to use the leftover footage in new episodes, and he suggested that’s the plan.

50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, told Shepherd even if Netflix decides to move on — especially after Combs sent the streamer a cease-and-desist letter alleging the docuseries contains “stolen” private videos, which Netflix denied — he’ll release future episodes online.

“I can just put it on YouTube,” an undeterred 50 Cent said.

He also revealed, he’ll have more material to work with because more people have come forward with allegations about Combs since the docuseries debuted.

“Everyone starts to feel a little more comfortable when they see other people telling their truth about it,” 50 Cent told Shepherd.

Sean Combs: The Reckoning premiered on Dec. 2. The four-part documentary series is a huge success and was viewed 21.8 million times in the first six days, topping Netflix’s streaming charts in several countries.

“It’s actually exceeding my expectations,” 50 Cent told Shepherd about the streaming numbers.

The series includes claims that Combs allegedly sexually abused employees, and physically assaulted his own mother.

In episode 1 titled “Pain vs. Love,” Bad Boy Records co-founder Kirk Burrowes alleged he witnessed Combs attack his mother after she questioned one of his decisions.

“I saw him put his hands on her, call her a b—h, and slapped her,” Burrowes said.

Janice Combs denied the allegation and said the series is filled with “lies.” She also slammed Burrowes for saying Combs threatened his life and forced him to sign over his 25 percent stake in Bad Boy Records.

“The allegations stated by Mr. Kirk Burrows that my son slapped me while we were conversing after the tragic City College events on December 28, 1991, are inaccurate and patently false,” she said in a statement to USA Today. “That was a very sad day for all of us. For him to use this tragedy and incorporate fake narratives to further his prior failed and current attempt to gain what was never his, Bad Boy Records is wrong, outrageous and past offensive.

Janice additionally took issue with claims made by family friend Tim Patterson that she “beat” her son when he was a child.

“The statement made by Mr. Tim Patterson about Sean’s life regarding my relationship with my son is not truthful and salacious to promote the series,” she said. “To the contrary, I loved and nurtured Sean. My memories of Sean growing up are one of a respectful and a diligent child and teenager. Sean has always been an industrious, goal oriented, over achiever.”

Combs is currently in a federal prison in New Jersey, serving a 50-month sentence following his conviction on prostitution-related Mann Act violations. The embattled music mogul is also facing about 77 civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault, and or rape.

50 Cent said Combs should have filed for bankruptcy a long time ago to avoid having to pay his accusers.

“He refused to file bankruptcy, because just his ego. I would have filed bankruptcy immediately. I don’t mind bankruptcy. I’m filing chapter 11 so fast your head’s gonna spin,” he told Shepherd. “I’m just not gonna pay.”

Sean Combs: The Reckoning is currently streaming on Netflix.
