With Sean Combs: The Reckoning, Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent, has made Netflix subscribers realize that they were not hating to their full potential. However, their decades-old rivalry seems to evade P. Diddy's sons.

The explosive new docuseries has left a bitter aftertaste on the incarcerated music mogul as well as highlighted his feuds, scandals, and legacy most controversially. Amidst the tumult of headlines, the question of Jackson enlisting Diddy's kids for the documentary against their convicted father keeps popping up. 

But the story is more complex than what meets the eye in Netflix's new docuseries.

In an interview with Us Weekly on December 9, 2025, 50 Cent revealed that he nearly got Sean Diddy Combs's sons to appear in the Netflix docuseries. The show spotlights Diddy’s family, their respective careers, and revives long-standing accusations about the disgraced rapper’s inner circle. 

However, Diddy's children and their insider perspectives on their convicted father's case did not end up being direct interview subjects in Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning.

 Curtis Jackson told the publication, "I had communications with his son. There was a point when they were interested in being a part of the doc because they wanted to show their perspective."

With the release of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, Diddy's son Justin Combs, however, has been caught in the crossfire, especially since 50 Cent's US Weekly interview. While his mother, Misa Hylton, publicly denounced the harassment they faced since the documentary came out, a 2017 s----- assault lawsuit against Justin Combs has resurfaced online.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson of Sean Combs slammed the four-part docuseries as a "shameful hit piece," in a cease-and-desist, wherein none of his family members directly participated in its making. Despite the two rappers' long-standing rivalry, Jackson had been in touch with Diddy's sons Justin and Quincy, who had previously worked with the G-Unit mogul.

In contrast to social media rumors implying their association with the Netflix docuseries, 50 Cent had already cast Diddy’s sons Justin Combs and Quincy Brown, but not for the notorious documentary, which features a shocking number of insiders. 

Long before Sean Combs: The Reckoning, Curtis Jackson had cast P. Diddy's sons in his hit Power franchise. Justin Combs had made an appearance in an episode of Power Book II: Ghost. 

Power Book III: Raising Kanan, also executive-produced by Jackson, welcomed Quincy Brown in the recurring role of Crown Camacho, a record label owner, in seasons 1 and 2. However, over a year prior to Sean Combs' alleged crimes surfacing, Brown's character was quickly killed off in 2022.

In an interview with The Breakfast Club, the 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' rapper also stated that Quincy Brown had been selected for a series under his production company. Jackson declared, "I'm not gon' mess with nobody kids." 

During his press run for Netflix's Sean Combs: The Reckoning, 50 Cent has also time and again stressed that he had hired Quincy Brown and Justin Combs to work in two of his scripted television programs. However, following the docuseries, chances of their future collaborations definitely do look bleak.
