- Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of sexual assault by several people, including his ex-partner.
- 50 Cent is producing a documentary for Netflix about the allegations.
- Combs was arrested in September and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking.
50 Cent is developing a documentary for Netflix about the sexual assault allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Combs and 50 Cent have been feuding since 2006. 50 Cent previously teased the project on social media after Homeland Security agents raided Combs' mansions in March. But Netflix's involvement was first reported on Wednesday.
Combs was arrested on September 16, and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper pleaded not guilty but was denied bail.
Four civil suits were previously brought against Combs — whose net worth is estimated to be around $90 million, according to Forbes.
In November 2023, Combs' ex-partner Casandra Ventura filed a lawsuit against him, alleging sexual assault, rape, and abuse. Combs settled with Ventura on November 17, a day after the suit was filed.
In early December, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, wrote on X about his documentary.
He posted a clip of former Bad Boy Records rapper Mark Curry alleging that Combs spiked women's drinks at a party.
Afterward, a representative confirmed to Variety that a documentary about Combs was being developed by 50 Cent's production company, G-Unit Film and Television.
"I can confirm that the untitled 'Diddy' documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson serving as Executive Producer," the representative said.
They pledged that all profits would go to victims of sexual assault and rape.

On Wednesday, 50 Cent announced that he is moving forward with the documentary about the allegations of sexual assault, and the charges of sex trafficking and racketeering against Combs. Netflix is producing the project, but a release date has not been confirmed
In a statement to Variety, 50 Cent and director Alexandria Stapleton said: "This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.
"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."
In March, 50 Cent joked that the documentary might be called "Diddy Do It?"
After the raids in March, 50 Cent made several jokes about Combs on social media.
On March 25, 50 Cent tweeted: "Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done."
"They don't come like that unless they got a case," he wrote of the federal raid.
50 Cent then posted a picture to X in March that he implied was artwork for the upcoming documentary, with the title: "Diddy Do It?" The image shows three photos of Combs made to look like they're in legal case files.
He wrote: "This is gonna break records when this drop."
50 Cent did not indicate whether the documentary was finished, who else appears in it, or if it has a release date. Artist BossLogic confirmed to Business Insider in March that he made the poster 50 Cent used, but it was unofficial.
