50 Cent is not holding back when it comes to Diddy’s latest public appearance.
The rapper and producer is openly reacting to how the Bad Boy Records founder looked after his arrest and first court appearances, and he says the transformation was shocking.
Speaking with Us Weekly, 50 Cent said he was stunned when he first saw images of Diddy following his time in custody. The rapper explained that the earliest visuals he came across were courtroom sketches, and what stood out most was how quickly Diddy appeared to age.
“He got old real fast,” 50 Cent said. “He went to jail, his hair was jet black like mines. Then the next day he looked completely different. All I saw were those courtroom drawings. They made him look like a raccoon. I was like, ‘When did this happen?’”
The comments come as 50 Cent continues to lean into his role as executive producer on Netflix’s controversial docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which examines the mounting allegations and legal battles surrounding Diddy.
Diddy has strongly pushed back against the documentary. Through his legal team, Diddy criticized the project as misleading and unfair, accusing Netflix of exploiting private material.
“This so-called documentary is a shameful hit piece,” a spokesperson for Diddy said in a statement. “Netflix ripped private footage out of context, including conversations with attorneys that were never meant to be public.”
Netflix has denied those claims, saying it had the legal right to use all footage included in the docuseries. The streamer has maintained that the project was produced in accordance with industry standards.
