Sean Diddy' Combs decries Netflix series by 50 Cent as shameful hit piece'

"Sean Diddy Combs has taken issue with a splashy new Netflix docuseries on his life and many legal troubles, that is executive produced by his longtime rival 50 Cent. The former Bad Boy Records executive and hip-hop star, currently serving a four-year sentence for prostitution-related charges, blasted Sean Combs: The Reckoning as a shameful hit piece, and accused Netflix of incorporating stolen footage."

"Through a spokesperson, the disgraced music mogul now claims that footage, including private moments, pre-indictment material from an unfinished project and conversations involving legal strategy, was obtained unlawfully. Today's GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release, the statement reads. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work."
