Did 50 Cent really walk away with a jaw-dropping $50 million by delivering the P. Diddy documentary to Netflix? That’s the claim ricocheting across social media as Sean Combs: The Reckoning storms into the cultural spotlight. Since its debut on December 2, 2025, the four-part docuseries, executive-produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has gripped audiences with previously unseen footage from the days leading up to Combs’ 2024 arrest in New York City.

With the series dominating headlines and timelines alike, many viewers are now wondering whether the financial payoff for 50 Cent is as massive as rumored.

Curtis 50 Cent Jackson championed a docuseries that aims to scrutinise the mounting allegations against Diddy. He partnered with Alexandria Stapleton to direct the production, intending to send a clear message.

A Facebook page, named HIP HOP MIN5, claimed in a post that 50 Cent secured a massive $50 million payday for the project. However, there is no verifiable evidence that has emerged to substantiate this colossal figure. The actual financial arrangement remains a guarded secret as the project prepares for its highly anticipated release.

While the exact financial windfall for the rapper is a subject that is not known and is definitely not what the Facebook post claimed, the project's motive was clear: confronting alleged abuse. 

Singer Cassie Ventura, for instance, detailed a pattern of exploitation, alleging that Diddy compelled her to engage in s----- acts for his gratification. Disturbingly, a hotel surveillance video corroborated another one of her claims, showing Diddy physically assaulting her in a hotel hallway.

The drama surrounding the documentary intensified following reports of exclusive material obtained by the streaming giant, Netflix.

Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which stands out from P. Diddy's other documentaries, reportedly included compelling, never-before-seen footage of him during the period leading up to his September 2024 arrest in New York City. The inclusion of such candid moments adds a layer of raw immediacy to the series.

Diddy, through his representatives, has reportedly expressed significant displeasure with the production and its claims. A formal statement from his camp directly addressed the reported Netflix acquisition, as reported by Variety.

His representatives publicly asserted that the footage included in the docuseries was obtained without authorization, claiming the material was "stolen." This accusation raises serious legal and ethical questions regarding the documentary's content.

Despite Diddy's protestations, the production team appears resolute in their mission to tell this story. While 50 Cent's pay cheque is not known, the four-part series will surely force a difficult reckoning for one of music's biggest names.
