Overview
- The four-part series, executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, premiered December 2 and has topped Netflix’s US and UK charts, per posts cited by The Mirror.
- Combs’ representatives accuse the production of using “stolen” or unauthorized videos and say they warned Netflix before release, while the streamer and the director assert necessary rights were secured.
- Director Alexandria Stapleton says the pre‑arrest material “came to us” through legal channels, and Netflix characterizes the project as neither a hit piece nor linked to prior discussions with Combs.
- A circulating theory from former Bad Boy security guard Roger Bonds and a Rob Shuter Substack suggests a videographer allegedly sold footage after not being paid, a claim not independently verified.
- The series revisits Combs’ July convictions for transportation to engage in prostitution and his 50‑month sentence, as critics question objectivity given Jackson’s long‑running feud with Combs.
