How 50 Cent Feels About Being Called ‘Petty’ For Producing Diddy Docuseries

by

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, also known as Fiddy, is currently in the spotlight because of the docuseries he produced, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The four-part series details the life and career of music mogul Sean Combs (also known as Diddy), including both his successes and struggles. Given the long-standing feud between Jackson and Combs, some have criticized Jackson for making the documentary, calling it a vindictive move. Now, Jackson is responding to those who’ve labeled him as petty.

50 Cent is known for his playful, sometimes mischievous behavior, particularly online. He often playfully teases people on social media in various ways. In a recent interview with Gold Derby about their upcoming 2025 Netflix docuseries, both 50 Cent (whose song “Candy Shop” is well-known) and the series’ director, Alexandria Stapleton, discussed the project. When asked about being labeled “petty” for his involvement, 50 Cent, whose real name is Jackson, readily admitted to the description.

I understand and agree with that. I’m willing to accept responsibility and deal with the consequences. I’ve developed a certain way of behaving online that I’m used to, and that’s simply how things are.

Jackson doesn’t seem to mind being called “petty,” especially when it comes to Diddy’s legal troubles. He’s been openly critical of Diddy, particularly during the recent sex-trafficking trial. Jackson mocked Diddy’s situation with AI-generated images and suggested Diddy’s lawyers weren’t helping him. He even teased Combs after the trial’s outcome, promising to fight against any potential pardon.

At this point, Sean Combs is in prison, and 50 Cent also trolled him while promoting the docuseries. Fiddy actually admitted to taking part in an ABC interview, because he knew that TV affiliate would be viewable at FCI Fort Dix, where Combs is currently serving his four-year (50 month) sentence. From prison, Combs (via his legal team) has expressed disdain for The Reckoning, as he called it a “hit piece.” Jackson disagrees with that assessment if the production:

Initially, they dismissed the documentary as biased, but that was before anyone had actually seen it. Once people watched it, opinions quickly changed, and it became incredibly popular, reaching the number one spot.

It’s unclear if Diddy and his team have seen the docuseries, but they clearly disagree with its portrayal of events. Janice Combs, Diddy’s mother, has also criticized the show, specifically objecting to someone calling her an “abusive” parent. However, 50 Cent believes Diddy will ultimately recognize the docuseries as a fair and complete account of his life and career.

Even if the Combs family isn’t happy with the documentary, it’s proving to be very popular on Netflix. As of today, the show – released on December 2nd – is still the most-watched TV show on the platform. 50 Cent mentioned in an interview that he predicted the show would be number one, but he didn’t expect it to surpass Stranger Things in popularity. It will be interesting to see if 50 Cent continues to jokingly refer to himself as “petty” as the documentary gains even more traction.
