Diddy Do It?: 50 cent sells Sean 'Diddy' Combs documentary to Netflix
For months, 50 Cent has been generating excitement for his Diddy documentary. Now, the project has been acquired by streaming giant Netflix.
TMZ reported on May 21 that the fifty's multi-part documentary is about the sexual assault allegations against Diddy.
Reports indicate that there was a significant competition for the documentary, created by 50's G-Unit Film and Television Studios, with various networks and streaming platforms bidding for the rights to the series.

In the end, Netflix emerged as the winner, with insiders suggesting that the new Diddy documentary series will soon be available for streaming on the platform.
The documentary arrives as the rap mogul faces another civil lawsuit on Tuesday, with model Crystal McKinney alleging that Diddy sexually assaulted her in 2003.
She spoke out following the emergence of security footage from 2016, showing Diddy assaulting his ex, Cassie, in a hotel corridor last Friday.
Cassie had previously made allegations of abuse and sexual assault against Diddy last year, leading to an out-of-court settlement just one day later.
In his apology video, shared over the past weekend, Diddy expressed regret and described the incident involving Cassie as one of the most challenging periods in his life.
Combs continues to confront multiple sexual assault allegations across various lawsuits and maintains his denial of the accusations.
Amidst Diddy's legal troubles, rival rapper 50 Cent has been taunting him, often using social media to comment on the allegations and the federal raids conducted on the Bad Boy Records founder's residences in Los Angeles and Miami.
The ex-partner of 50 Cent and mother of their child was also involved in a $30 million lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs in March. It was claimed that she was receiving a "monthly stipend" for s** work from Combs.
The two rappers have been in conflict for almost two decades, tracing back to 2006 when 50 Cent released a diss track titled "The Bomb." In the song, he claimed that Diddy has information about who was responsible for the death of Notorious B.I.G.
