50 Cent Addresses Securing Unreleased Footage for Diddy Netflix Documentary
How did he get the tapes? 50 Cent addresses securing the unreleased and controversial footage in the Diddy Netflix documentary, ‘Sean Combs: The Rocking’.
The highly anticipated Diddy Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, has been a significant topic of discussion since its Dec. 2, 2025, release date. The four-part series was released all at once on the popular streaming service, just under two years after Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson revealed he was developing the docuseries on Dec. 7, 2023. The series, directed by Alexandria Stapleton, has not only ignited reactions from viewers due to its content, but also a cease-and-desist letter sent to Netflix over some surprising footage included. Not surprisingly, everyone wants to know how the footage surfaced, and 50 Cent responded to the topic directly.The specific clips that went viral were recorded in September 2024, as NBC News revealed. In them, Combs is seen discussing his legal issues in what appeared to be a hotel room. Among the most notable comments made was Diddy speaking about “losing.”
“We have to find somebody that’ll work with us that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business,” he says.
“We’re losing,” Combs goes on to say.
The video was reportedly taken six days before federal agents arrested Combs at a New York City hotel. He was initially charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. A jury acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking but convicted him on two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, as NBC News highlighted.
During an interview ahead of the release of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, 50 Cent was asked directly about the unreleased footage. NBC News correspondent Chloe Melas asked Jackson how he got the hotel room footage for the Diddy Netflix documentary.
“I figured most journalists would not disclose their sources,” Jackson said.
After following up to ask whether Diddy knows that Jackson and company put the videos in the documentary, the rapper and producer gave an honest admission.
“I would doubt he knows,” Jackson responded.Melas went on to ask whether this meant Diddy and his legal team would find out about the videos being in the documentary for the first time when it officially releases, to which Stapleton replied, “Perhaps.”
Diddy responded to the use of the footage in Sean Combs: The Reckoning, unloading on Netflix and Jackson. According to Deadline, he said that “Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece.” The comments reportedly also cited 50 Cent as a “longtime adversary with a personal vendetta” for Combs.
“Today’s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release,” Combs’ statement says.
“As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.”
According to Deadline, Netflix shared remarks from Stapleton about the acquired footage, made just less than one week before the documentary’s release. The director stated the footage was obtained “legally” and that they have “the necessary rights.”“It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights,” the filmmaker said in an interview on Netflix’s site. “We moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker’s identity confidential. One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades…We also reached out to Sean Combs’ legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but did not hear back.”What kinda gay sh*t is this," 50 captioned the post. "Diddy send me flowers at club 11 LOL why all the four play get busy, you know I’m stupid. A warning, I’m 90’s grimy you don’t warn me. LOL."
50's post comes on the heels of his Diddy documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, debuting on Netflix on Tuesday (Dec. 4). The highly anticipated release features four 60-minute episodes and includes interviews with several former Puff Daddy associates, along with damning never-before-seen footage of the disgraced media mogul.
In a new four-part documentary by Emmy and Grammy Award–winning executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Emmy Award–winning director Alexandria Stapleton, Sean Combs: The Reckoning is a staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend, and convicted offender. (In July, Combs was found guilty of two counts of transportation for purposes of prostitution, and is currently serving time in federal prison. He is appealing his conviction and his sentence.) Born with an insatiable drive for stardom and a knack for spotting talent, Combs made a quick ascent through the ranks of the music industry with Bad Boy Entertainment and was crucial in bringing hip-hop to the pop masses and launching the careers of dozens of generation-defining artists like The Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, and Danity Kane. But along the way, and as detailed by his former associates, childhood friends, artists, and employees, something darker began to color his ambitions — much of which began coming to light following R&B singer Casandra Ventura’s lawsuit against Combs in November, 2023.
“Being a woman in the industry, and going through the #MeToo movement — watching giants in music and film go on trial, and to know what their outcomes were … When Cassie dropped her lawsuit, I just thought this could go a million different directions,” says director Alexandria Stapleton. “I wondered how she had the confidence to go out there against a mogul like Sean Combs. As a filmmaker, I instantly knew it was a stress test of whether we’ve changed as a culture, as far as being able to process allegations like this in a fair way.
“This isn’t just about the story of Sean Combs or the story of Cassie, or the story of any of the victims, or the allegations against him, or the trial. Ultimately, this story is a mirror [reflecting us] as the public, and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal. I hope [this documentary] is a wake-up call for how we idolize people, and to understand that everybody is a human being,” Stapleton says.
“I’ve been committed to real storytelling for years through G-Unit Film and Television,” says executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. “I’m grateful to everyone who came forward and trusted us with their stories, and proud to have Alexandria Stapleton as the director on the project to bring this important story to the screen.”
The documentary series features intimate footage, shot with Combs’ knowledge, in the six days leading up to his arrest and indictment. At the time, Combs was under federal investigation. Director Alexandria Stapleton explains the origin of the footage: “It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights. One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades.”
“We also reached out to Sean Combs’ legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but did not hear back.”

“I spend a lot of time with interview subjects. Especially with artists, writers, producers, and rappers — [I want them to] talk about what it felt like to be in the music [industry],” Stapleton says of her approach. “No one entered thinking that they were going to get chewed up and spit out. They had a dream and were trying to get a piece of the American dream.”
Why weren’t some of the most famous artists and celebrities from Combs’ orbit in the documentary?
“Extreme efforts were made to contact as many people as we could,” Stapleton says. “I’ve had many off-the-record conversations. There are some people who I’ve been able to talk with to verify and fact-check certain pieces of information, but they did not want to do an interview. And their reasons are vast. There was a lot of fear — Combs’ tentacles spread very wide. And I think a lot of people want to put this behind them. A lot of people are really struggling with being so connected to his legacy and want to be independent of that. And some of those reasons I will never know.”
“We also reached out to Sean Combs’ legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but did not hear back.”
