Communication With Combs’ Children

“They were interested in being a part of the doc because they wanted to show their perspective,” 50 Cent said, explaining that Combs’ children expressed concern about how certain events would be portrayed on screen. Ultimately, however, none of them participated in the final project. Music Times
No Contact With Diddy Himself
Despite the exchange with Combs’ son, 50 Cent emphasized that he has not had meaningful dialogue with the elder Combs, particularly after the music executive’s federal court case and subsequent public fallout. The two have remained distant, reflecting years of rivalry and growing tension in recent months amid the documentary’s release. Yahoo
Sean “Diddy” Combs has criticized the Netflix series through his legal representatives, calling it a misrepresentation of events and disputing aspects of how the story is told. Combs’ legal team has publicly labeled the project a “shameful hit piece.” Yahoo
A Polarizing Release
The documentary’s launch has sparked both acclaim and controversy. Viewership has surged on Netflix, and public discourse around the film’s revelations — and the reactions from those involved — continues to grow. While some applaud 50 Cent’s role in bringing the project forward, others question the dynamics of his longstanding feud with Combs and its influence on the narrative. Yahoo
Against this backdrop, 50 Cent’s comments about interacting with Combs’ son offer a nuanced footnote in a story that has captured global attention, underscoring the complex intersection of personal history, family legacy, and public accountability.
