Netflix Defend Sean 'Diddiy' Combs Documentary (Entertainment)

Netflix rejects allegations of illegal use of private footage in 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning' and confirms all materials were legally obtained, with no payments made to participants.

  • On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Netflix released the Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson-produced four-part Sean Combs: The Reckoning and said claims about the series are false, holding the "necessary rights" to the footage.
  • Amid a two-decade feud between the men, Sean 'Diddy' Combs filed a lawsuit on February 12, 2025, against NBCUniversal Media, Peacock TV and Ample, while Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson is credited as an executive producer without creative control.
  • Director Alexandria Stapleton said the footage was "obtained completely legally" and the filmmaker's identity was kept confidential, while Netflix said no rights were transferred and no participants were paid.
  • Combs's representatives issued a cease-and-desist accusing Netflix of using footage "never authorised for release" while Sean 'Diddy' Combs is serving a 50-month federal sentence.
  • The series alleges Sean Combs planned to move $200 million ahead of his September 2024 arrest and features interviews with former collaborators, including Kirk Burrowes, cofounder of Bad Boy Records.
