Netflix has acquired the rights to distribute a controversial documentary about Sean “Diddy” Combs produced by 50 Cent. The film focuses on the multiple allegations of sexual assault against Diddy over the years from various women, including singer Cassie.
These accusations have led to intense media scrutiny, legal issues, and even federal raids on Diddy’s properties as the allegations span decades. Recently, a video surfaced appearing to show Diddy in a violent confrontation with his ex-girlfriend Cassie, which is currently under review for potential criminal charges.
While an exact release date is unknown, there is high anticipation surrounding the documentary from audiences and the industry. 50 Cent had previously stated proceeds would go towards supporting sexual assault victims.
The Netflix acquisition news coincided with another alleged victim, model Crystal McKinney, filing a lawsuit claiming Diddy drugged and assaulted her 20 years ago. 50 Cent, who has a long-standing feud with Diddy, has frequently mocked him on social media regarding the allegations.
Though financial details were not disclosed, Netflix emerging as the distributor suggests they likely paid a significant amount for the high-profile and controversial project centering on the prominent entertainment mogul and hip-hop icon’s alleged misconduct.
