In a social media post on Wednesday, Sept. 25, famous rapper 50 Cent hinted at his upcoming docuseries focusing on Combs' alleged criminal activity, according to a report by Variety.
The outlet reported that the series, directed by Alexandria Stapleton, is now in production and will go over sex trafficking and racketeering allegations against Combs, who grew up in Westchester County in the city of Mount Vernon. It will eventually be released on Netflix.
"This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far," 50 Cent and Stapleton told Variety, also adding, "We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives."
According to the outlet, 50 Cent will serve as the project's executive producer through his G-Unit Film & Television banner. He first teased the docuseries in early December when Combs was facing several lawsuits by victims accusing him of sexual assault.
"I been telling y’all about all this weird s**t, I don’t do NO puffy party’s," 50 Cent wrote in a social media post about the project, adding, "You didn’t believe me 🤨but I bet you believe me now!"
The series is the latest shot taken against Combs by 50 Cent, who has released a diss track accusing him of knowing who murdered The Notorious B.I.G. in 1997. He also claims he believes Combs was connected to the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996, according to CNN.
Combs was arrested on Tuesday morning, Sept. 17 on a three-count indictment accusing him of running a criminal enterprise that involved sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
He has been placed on suicide watch while jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, according to reports.
According to federal officials, as part of his criminal business, Combs would allegedly force women to engage in frequent days-long sexual activity with male commercial sex workers that he referred to as "Freak Offs." This activity would consist of elaborate sex performances arranged, directed, and often electronically recorded by Combs, officials said.
To make sure his victims participated in these "Freak Offs," Combs would use violence and intimidation to leverage his power over them. He would obtain this leverage by distributing narcotics to victims, exploiting his financial support to them, and threatening to cut off this support. He would also control their careers, according to federal officials.
In addition to being federally charged, Combs is still facing lawsuits from alleged victims, including one filed on Tuesday, Sept. 24 by a woman who accused him of raping her and filming the assault in 2001.
