50 Cent Reacts to Explosive Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Footage

Rapper 50 Cent, who has had a long-running feud with Sean “Diddy” Combs, spoke out on Good Morning America about new video footage obtained by Netflix showing Diddy discussing strategy with his lawyers just six days before his arrest.

In the footage, Diddy can be heard instructing his team:

“Listen to me. I’m going to get off the phone right now and I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution. No matter what, no matter what anybody said… Y’all are not working together. The right—we’re losing.”

When asked if anything surprised him while watching, 50 Cent said it was “surprising that he actually filmed it.”

Diddy’s team told NBC that the footage was never authorized for release. Meanwhile, The New York Times reported that Diddy had been working on his own documentary before his arrest and had been in discussions with Netflix. Netflix, in turn, directed inquiries to the documentary series director Alexandria Stapleton, who confirmed that the footage was legally obtained.

The documentary also shows Diddy interacting with fans in Harlem, followed by candid remarks:

“I need some hand sanitizer… I’ve been out in the streets amongst the people… I feel like I need to wash, like I’m dirt.”

Stapleton explained that these moments reveal Diddy’s character, capturing him forgetting he was on tape.

Additionally, the documentary features interviews with two jurors from Diddy’s trial, sharing their perspectives on the verdict. Diddy was cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges but found guilty of two prostitution-related offenses. The jurors also discussed Diddy’s relationship with longtime girlfriend Cassie Ventura, with one noting:

“I believe Cassie’s a victim in all this… she was 18, like 19 years old in the very beginning. Over time, you conditioned her for it.”

Asked how he thinks Diddy will react to the documentary, 50 Cent speculated:

“I think he’s going to say, this is the best documentary I’ve seen in a long time. He may feel a different way about pieces and bits of it, but he knows the truth.”
