Rapper 50 Cent has weighed in on the recent charges against P Diddy, admitting that he has been vocal about his concerns for the past decade. Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, is currently in prison awaiting trial for charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, all of which he has denied.
Following his arrest, numerous alleged victims have come forward, with attorney Tony Buzbee announcing seven new claims, including an allegation that Diddy drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl. Speaking to PEOPLE, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, expressed his thoughts, saying: “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 10 years.”
He added: “Now it’s becoming more full-facing in the news with the Puffy stuff, but away from that, 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.”
50 Cent is currently working on a documentary delving into allegations against Diddy. In a joint statement with director Alexandria Stapleton, he remarked: “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.”
The rapper first let slip about the documentary in December, hinting it would be titled “Diddy Do It? ” and has now disclosed that Netflix snapped up the rights after reportedly winning a bidding war for the Diddy docuseries. Back in May, TMZ hinted that the multi-part series is expected to premiere on the streaming giant soon, reports the Mirror.

When announcing his project, the ‘In Da Club’ hitmaker took to social media, boasting: “Ok guys we’re all making good television mines just happens to be the best. NETFLIX wins the bidding war but if more victims keep coming out … I’m gonna need more episodes.”
