From behind bars, Sean "Diddy" Combs is firing shots at his nemesis 50 Cent over the new Netflix docuseries, "Sean Combs: The Reckoning." The incarcerated mogul isn't holding back, labeling the project a "shameful hit piece."
A spokesperson for the "Act Bad" rapper, currently serving a 50-month sentence, issued a fiery statement to Variety, claiming Netflix is exploiting his life for profit.

According to Diddy's camp, the documentary relies on "stolen footage" never authorized for release. Apparently, Diddy has been meticulously archiving footage since he was 19, intending to tell his own story on his own terms. Who knew?
"It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work," the statement declares. Is this the beginning of a new legal battle for the embattled music mogul?

The spokesperson accuses Netflix of being "plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs’s life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy." Ouch!
But the shade doesn't stop there. Diddy's team alleges Netflix is ripping private footage out of context, including conversations with his lawyers that were never meant for public consumption. Legal eagles, assemble!

And the biggest bombshell? Diddy's people are furious that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Diddy's longtime rival. Talk about adding insult to injury.
The statement calls Netflix's deal with 50 Cent a "personal breach of trust," claiming Diddy "long respected" Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. Apparently, respect only goes so far in Hollywood.

"For Netflix to give his life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades feels like an unnecessary and deeply personal affront," the statement continues. Can you feel the burn?
"At minimum, he expected fairness from people he respected," Diddy's rep concludes. But in the world of entertainment, is fairness a luxury few can afford?

Meanwhile, Alexandria Stapleton, the docuseries director, claims the footage "came to us" and they "obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights." Sounds like a classic "he said, she said" situation.

Stapleton added, "We moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker’s identity confidential." The plot thickens!
She also stated, "One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades." Maybe Diddy should have copyrighted his life?

Stapleton claims they reached out to Diddy's legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but never heard back. Perhaps they were too busy preparing for other legal battles?
The 56-second trailer, released earlier this week, features a clip of Diddy in a New York City hotel room just days before his September 2024 arrest. The tension is palpable.

"We have to find somebody that’ll work with us that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business," Diddy says in what appears to be a phone call with his lawyer. Cryptic much?
Diddy appears anxious and is seen repeatedly bouncing his knee. Is this a glimpse into the pressure cooker of his life?

Back in July, Diddy was found not guilty on two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion and on racketeering conspiracy. However, he was convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution. A mixed bag, to say the least.
Now, serving his time at the Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix, in New Jersey, Diddy is slated for release in June 2028. Plenty of time to plot his revenge... or his comeback.
