Musician and entrepreneur Sean “Diddy” Combs has sharply criticized Netflix’s upcoming docuseries “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, calling it a “shameful” work based on “stolen material that was never authorized for release.” The project, which premiered globally on the platform on December 2nd, sparked controversy even before its debut. A spokesperson for the musician and entrepreneur stated that the documentary is a “hit piece” intended to harm him. Following Combs’ public accusation of the alleged use of illicitly obtained content, a Netflix representative provided Variety with a statement from the series’ director, Alexandria Stapleton. The filmmaker stated that her team “obtained the material legally and had the necessary rights.”
