Netflix has confirmed it has acquired 50 Cent's much-talked about docuseries surrounding the abuse allegations against his adversary, Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Back in May, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) revealed that he had sold his series, tentatively titled Diddy Do It, to the streaming service.
Deadline reports that Alexandra Stapleton (Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel) will serve as director and executive producer for the series through House of Nonfiction, with Jackson executive producing for G-Unit Film & Television.
“This is a story with significant human impact,” said Stapleton and Jackson in a joint statement. “It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far. We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’s story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
Combs is currently being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center without bail for charges of federal sex trafficking and racketeering, as well as multiple allegations of sexual assault and violent abusive behaviour.
