In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE,
50 Cent spoke about Combs' alleged behaviour and how he previously mocked Combs
online and during concerts.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis
James Jackson III, said: 'Look, it seems like I'm doing some extremely
outrageous things, but I haven't. It's really me just saying what I've been
saying for ten years.
'Now it's becoming more full-facing in the
news... I'm like, "Yo, it's just my perspective because I stayed away from
that stuff the entire time, because this is not my style".’
The two rappers have been engaged in
a long running feud since the pair first met in the 1990s, but 50
Cent never considered Combs a friend.
In 2006, 50 Cent released his diss track,
The Bomb. In it, he accused Diddy of being involved in the 1997 murder of
fellow artist Biggie Smalls.
Diddy has been plagued by rumors he knows
more about the deaths of both Biggie and Tupac and Diddy was named in the
latter's court papers. He denies any involvement.
Then, in both 2018 and 2024, 50 Cent
claimed he'd felt a 'little uncomfortable' about the rapper for a long time.
50 Cent has since announced that he will be
releasing a docuseries on Netflix that will explore the allegations
of sexual assault and violence made against Combs.
A statement read: 'This is a story with
significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just
the headlines or clips seen so far.
'We remain steadfast in our commitment to
give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced
perspectives.
'While the allegations are disturbing, we
urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop
and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the
culture’s broader contributions.'
50 Cent will executive produce through his
G-Unit Film & Television banner, while Stapleton executive produces for
House of Nonfiction.
Combs is facing allegations of sexual abuse
stretching as far back as the 1990s. These include accusations that Diddy
drugged a 13-year-old girl in 2000 and a raped a man in 2022.
