Famed rapper, record executive, and entrepreneur 50 Cent recently appeared on The Enthusiast podcast on September 26, where he discussed his decision to never attend any parties hosted by Sean Combs, also known as Diddy. He further mentioned that many celebrities are staying silent regarding Diddy’s current legal issues because they “participated to some degree.”
“You know I’m the only one who’s been vocal about it long before it actually… I also didn’t participate, I also didn’t go to those parties… A lot of celebrity culture that you don’t hear saying anything is because they participated to a degree,” 50 Cent stated.
When podcast host Lincoln Salazar inquired about his absence from those “parties back in the day,” the Queens-born rapper replied:
“I’m not just with all that freaky sh*t, like all of the stuff that these… though I’m not into that type of stuff. I’m just a little more maybe you could say, basic or normal…”
In addition, 50 Cent was adamant in asserting that Diddy was guilty of all the allegations brought against him.
50 Cent’s Insights on Diddy’s Legal Troubles
Throughout his recent conversation on The Enthusiast podcast, 50 Cent offered pointed criticism of Diddy and voiced his distaste over the serious accusations facing the Bad Boy Records founder. He revealed he is producing a Netflix docuseries titled “Diddy Do It,” focused on the various allegations against him.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, emphasized that throughout his journey of confronting Diddy long before his legal issues arose, he lacked a “support system”or “peer group of artists”to stand by him.
Nonetheless, this didn’t deter him from taking accountability for criticizing Diddy’s alleged misconduct. Jackson noted he was essentially “on his own” and free from needing to “behave a certain way,” which allowed him to maintain his criticisms of Sean Combs.
He further elaborated that during the making of the Tubi documentary, TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, they had no expectation of Diddy facing arrest or indictment soon, but their focus was predominantly on his “downfall of credibility.”
Additionally, the 49-year-old rapper discussed his work on various projects at his studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, the success of The Final Lap Tour, and the expansion of his sports beverage brand, SIRE Spirits.
This isn’t the first time 50 Cent addressed his decision not to attend Diddy’s parties. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in July 2024, he reiterated his discomfort with Puffy’s extravagant gatherings, describing their “uncomfortable energy.”
Upcoming Netflix Docuseries on Diddy: A Deep Dive into a “Complex Narrative”
In a recent exclusive interview with Variety, 50 Cent confirmed he is executive producing a Netflix docuseries that delves into the serious claims of sex trafficking, racketeering, sexual assault, and violent abuse against Sean Combs. G-Unit Film & Television is one of the production companies involved in this project.
50 Cent also mentioned that Alexandria Stapleton would direct and co-produce the series through her studio, House of Nonfiction, alongside Texas Crew Productions.
“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,” stated 50 Cent and Stapleton.
“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,” they continued.
50 Cent initially announced the docuseries back in December 2023 following a slew of lawsuits against Diddy. The proceeds from this project aim to support victims of sexual assault.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into federal custody from the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan on September 16 after a grand jury indictment. He is facing three felony counts, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Despite pleading “not guilty,” Diddy has had his bail denied twice. He is currently held without bond and under procedural suicide watch at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial. If convicted, he could face 15 years to life in federal prison.
