50 Cent will tell the story and the accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs on Netflix. The docuseries produced by the rapper (and actor and producer) of Get Rich or Die Tryin' and directed by Alexandria Stapleton is currently in production, reports Variety.
“This is a complex story that spans decades, not just the headlines or videos we’ve seen so far,” 50 Cent and Stapleton said. “We are committed to giving voice to the voiceless and presenting authentic, nuanced points of view. Sean Combs is accused of disturbing things, but we urge everyone to remember that his story is not the story of hip hop and its culture. We want to ensure that the actions of one individual do not overshadow broader cultural values.”
50 Cent first announced his intention to make a documentary about Diddy in December 2023, when the latter was accused by four women, starting with his ex Cassie Ventura, and not by a dozen as today. Part of the proceeds from the docuseries should go to associations that defend victims of sexual violence.
Meanwhile, in the United States, the alleged autobiography of Kim Porter, Diddy's wife, has caused a stir. Entitled Kim's Lost Words: A Journey for Justice, from the Other Sidewas self-published on Amazon, where its 59 pages full of typos and inaccurate stories became a bestseller. Now the children of Diddy and the woman who died in 2018 from lobar pneumonia are saying the book is a fake. Not only are Christian “King” Combs, D’Lila Combs, and Jessie Combs saying so, but so is Quincy Brown, Porter’s son with another partner, Albert Joseph Brown. Brown, who goes by the stage name Al B. Sure!, called the book “full of artfully made-up bullshit” and has vowed to take legal action.
“There are many false and hurtful rumors circulating about the relationship between our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs, and the tragic passing of our mother,” the children now say in a statement. “The idea that our mother wrote a book is simply not true. She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript from her is misrepresenting the facts. Anyone claiming to be a ‘friend’ while speaking on behalf of our mother or the family is not a friend and does not have her best interests at heart.”
The children clarify that the causes of their mother's death have been known for some time and that they “are saddened to see that the world is turning the most tragic event of our lives into a spectacle” and that “her memory must not be tainted by horrible conspiracy theories.”
Behind the publication of the book is a man named Chris Todd (real name supposedly Todd Christopher Guzze), a self-styled investigative journalist who has never provided any evidence of the veracity of Diddy's wife's manuscript.
