Overview
- The four‑part docuseries drew about 21.8 million first‑week views on Netflix, according to figures reported by Deadline and cited by multiple outlets.
- Marlon Wayans warned 50 Cent about “karma” over the project and was met with “keep my name out your mouth” on Instagram; Wayans later said he was offering an opinion, not defending Sean Combs.
- Ja Rule threatened to sue 50 Cent for defamation after 50 reposted ex‑bodyguard Gene Deal’s story about Ja and Combs, as Ja revived old abuse allegations against 50 and teased his own exposé.
- Ja Rule and Wayans shared images depicting 50 Cent with Combs, with several pictures identified in coverage as AI‑generated, fueling a wider social‑media fight.
- Combs’ team labeled the series a “shameful hit piece” and sent cease‑and‑desist letters over alleged unauthorized footage, while Netflix said the material was legally obtained and that Curtis Jackson lacked creative control; a separate report claimed Combs is considering a large lawsuit, which has not been confirmed.
