50 Cent has renewed his public criticism of Sean “Diddy” Combs and his family, continuing a long-running feud that has intensified following the release of a recent Netflix documentary.
The rapper and producer, born Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, served as an executive producer on Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a docuseries examining Combs’ career and the allegations that have surrounded him in recent years.
The project followed Combs’ rise in the music industry and the legal challenges that ultimately led to his conviction for transportation to engage in prostitution.
Jackson has repeatedly commented on the case since allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder emerged in 2023. His remarks have extended beyond Combs himself, drawing a response from Combs’ son, Christian “King” Combs. In a since-deleted post, King Combs wrote, “On my dad, if I ever see 50 Cent, I’ll slap the f**k outta him.”
Jackson replied publicly, dismissing the threat and questioning King Combs’ independence and achievements. “Lil bro, first, close your damn mouth when you take pictures. I been rich 3 different times, sold records, sold shows, sold liquor, sold power. You still living off Wi-Fi and legacy. Relax,” he said.
The exchange added to wider tensions surrounding the documentary, which included previously unseen footage from the period leading up to Combs’ September 2024 arrest. Representatives for Combs criticised the use of the material, alleging it was unlicensed, while the production team maintained it was obtained legally.
Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, while his legal team has indicated plans to appeal the remaining conviction. He continues to deny all allegations made against him in both criminal and civil proceedings.
