American rapper and media mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has premiered a gripping four-part Netflix documentary titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, spotlighting decades of allegations against fellow music icon Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Released globally on December 2, 2025, the docuseries digs deep into the rise and unraveling of Diddy’s career, tracing his journey from hip-hop royalty to a figure facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits and public scrutiny.
The film is already generating massive conversations around abuse, celebrity culture, and accountability in the entertainment industry.
Produced by 50 Cent and directed by Alexandria Stapleton, the series includes exclusive interviews with former collaborators, alleged victims, and insiders some of whom are speaking publicly for the first time.
It also features never-before-seen footage captured shortly before Diddy’s September 2024 arrest, where he’s shown in a hotel room expressing anxiety over the legal storm surrounding him.
Among the most powerful testimonies is that of singer Aubrey O’Day, who opens up about alleged abuse and retaliation while under Diddy’s label. The series also explores systemic enablers in the industry that, for years, allowed such behavior to go unchecked.
Though Combs’ legal team has slammed the documentary as “a one-sided hit piece,” 50 Cent has defended the project, stating it gives voice to survivors and aims to expose uncomfortable truths long buried in the music industry.
