According to Variety on September 25, the film studio is collaborating with rapper 50 Cent and director Alexandria Stapleton to produce the project, but has not yet set a release date. “The content of the film affects many people. It is a complex story that spans decades, not simply news or previously released videos,” said a representative of the crew.
Diddy was arrested on September 16 and charged with three counts : conspiracy to commit extortion, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. According to the Daily Mail , prosecutors have interviewed more than 50 victims and witnesses, and the number is expected to grow. He has pleaded not guilty.
Rapper 50 Cent – real name Curtis James Jackson, 49 years old – entered the music industry in 2001. According to CNN, the relationship between 50 Cent and Diddy has long been tense. In 2006, 50 Cent released the song The Bomb , accusing Diddy of knowing the identity of the killer of Christopher Wallace (Diddy’s student and close friend). 50 Cent once composed a hip hop rap song alluding to the dark side of the White Parties (White Parties, guests wearing white clothes) organized by Diddy for the upper class in New York. This artist also suspected Diddy of being involved in the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996.
The filmmakers say they are committed to giving vulnerable people a chance to present their stories. Proceeds from the documentary will go to support victims of sexual abuse.
There have been allegations that Diddy ran his business empire like a “criminal enterprise,” directing employees to entice and coerce women into sexual acts and cover up crimes. However, the film’s producers say the rapper’s actions are not representative of hip-hop culture. “We want to make sure that the actions of one individual do not overshadow the broader contributions of the culture,” said producer and rapper 50 Cent.
The documentary was first released in early December 2023, when Diddy was sued by four women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. 50 Cent also shared a video on social media X showing rapper Mark Curry accusing Combs of drugging champagne at parties for girls to drink.
Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, 55, founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, helping to make hip hop a global brand. He topped the list of the world’s richest rappers in 2013, before being surpassed by Jay Z and Kanye West. During his career, Diddy has won three Grammys and two MTV Music Awards. The rapper is currently asking the court to set him on $50 million bail pending trial, wear a GPS monitor, and restrict his travel to New York and Miami. However, the judge denied this request.
Diddy is not married but has seven children with four girlfriends. Over the decades, the artist has amassed a large fortune, thanks to his forays into business. In 2022, Diddy’s net worth was estimated at $1 billion, according to Forbes .
