50 Cent on being very vocal about not going to Sean Diddy Combs’ ‘parties’
Rapper 50 Cent and Sean Diddy Combs entered the music industry around the same time, and both have made a successful career for themselves. However, it has been reported that the two of them have been feuding since they stepped into the industry, but their feud made it to the headlines in March 2024. Homeland Security decided to raid Diddy Comb’s two residences in Los Angeles and Miami in connection to a federal s*x trafficking investigation.
50 Cent decided to speak up about the situation and wrote on his X account,
This is going to break records when this drops. GLGGreenLightGang, you know the vibes.
The rapper announced that he’s been producing a documentary series titled ‘Diddy Do It?’ According to TooFab, 50 Cent announced that he was working on a documentary about Diddy back in December following multiple lawsuits of sexual assaults filed against the record producer. In an interview with THR, 50 Cent went ahead to reveal why he was never a part of Diddy’s famous parties.
I’ve been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing sh*t like that. I’ve been staying out of that sh*t for years. It’s just an uncomfortable energy connected to it.
James Jackson III further continued to share that initially Diddy denied attacking his former partner Cassie Ventura, and then CNN released the footage from 2016. He added that the footage is clear proof that whatever Diddy says is a lie. He mentioned described that entire situation as crazy.
He noted that with all the influence and power a person has, the person they’re with should be willing to want to be with them and not to be forced. Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Diddy in November 2023, and they reached a settlement the next day, but multiple lawsuits against the record producer were filed. He was arrested and is currently awaiting trial.
After Homeland Security found 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant from Diddy’s house, Cent took to his social media to take a jab at him. He wrote, that he’s keeping good company with Drew Barrymore and does not have 1000 bottles of lube at the house. 50 Cent appeared on Drew Barrymore’s show to promote his book The Accomplice.
50 Cent explains the reason in the Netflix docu-series on Sean Diddy Combs
When asked about his reasons for producing a documentary on Diddy, 50 Cent shared with the publication, that he’s the only one from a hip-hop culture that has produced quality projects. He added that they do have a lot of talent within their culture, where the talent has developed a comfort in front of the camera, so they’re usually a part of it as an actor or driving force for why an individual would watch the project.
He was asked if he was ever friends with Diddy, to which he clarified that they collaborated on a few songs and it was mostly work. The rapper noted that he wouldn’t call his collaboration with Diddy friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between them if they didn’t speak to each other. He shared,
I didn’t ever party or hang out with him. Puff is a businessperson; when [people call him] a producer, I see people who were taken advantage of, and who produced things that he took from them. He got the credit. He’s not a producer. He’s been able to take advantage of the business and the creativity in it. I don’t have any interest in doing that.
When asked why won’t celebrities speak up, he said a lot of them were involved in the parties and they enjoyed it, so they won’t speak up. The other reason he added was snitching or dry snitching but he noted that he does not feel uncomfortable talking about it because he has been saying that for four to five years.
Alexandria Stapleton is directing the documentary series that is currently in production and shared with Variety that the story they will be showcasing via docu-series will have a significant human impact. She added that it is a complex narrative spanning decades, and they remain steadfast in their commitment to give a voice to the voiceless. The two of them assure the viewers to present authentic and nuanced perspectives.
There has been no date set announced for now highly anticipated docu-series, Diddy Do It?
