Overview
- The four-part Sean Combs: The Reckoning premiered Dec. 2 on Netflix, executive-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, and compiles new and archival allegations about the mogul’s career and conduct.
- Combs’ representatives issued a cease-and-desist to Netflix, denouncing the project as a “shameful hit piece” and alleging it uses private recordings, including pre-arrest conversations with his attorney.
- Netflix and the filmmakers say the footage was obtained legally and note that Jackson did not have creative control, rejecting claims that the project is retaliatory.
- Janice Combs publicly disputed depictions of her as abusive and called Kirk Burrowes’ assertion that her son slapped her after the 1991 City College tragedy “patently false,” urging retractions.
- The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirms it is reviewing a new sexual battery report tied to alleged 2020–2021 incidents, which Combs’ civil attorney labels false, as public criticism of 50 Cent’s role — including from Ja Rule — intensifies debate over the doc’s motives.
