50 Cent and Netflix have revealed the latest teaser for a forthcoming four-part documentary on the convictions against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Set to land next week (December 2), the documentary has been described as a “staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend, and convicted offender” by Netflix.

“As detailed by his former associates, childhood friends, employees, and artists like former Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry whose voice you hear in the above teaser, something darker began to colour his ambitions,” reads a synopsis.

The documentary also traces back to Casandra Ventura’s lawsuit against Combs in November 2023, with a look at “never-before-seen materials and exclusive interviews”.

Sean Combs: The Reckoning is executive produced by 50 Cent, and directed by Alexandria Stapleton. Speaking on the documentary, Stapleton says: “When Cassie dropped her lawsuit, I just thought this could go a million different directions.”

“I wondered how she had the confidence to go out there against a mogul like Sean Combs. As a filmmaker, I instantly knew it was a stress test of whether we’ve changed as a culture, as far as being able to process allegations like this in a fair way.”

In October, Diddy appealed his conviction and four-year prison sentence. Now, a month later, Diddy is denying a recent sexual battery allegation brought against him, which is currently being investigated by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
