Following the explosive docuseries on Sean Combs, all eyes are on powerhouse producer Curtis Jackson. Could his next target be one of the biggest names in sports, NBA icon LeBron James? The internet is ablaze with speculation that a hard-hitting documentary examining James’s life is already in the works for Netflix. What is the truth?

The swirling rumours have captivated the public, demanding a definitive answer on whether there is a documentary on icon LeBron James coming or not.

The claim that 50 Cent is producing a Netflix documentary centered on LeBron James is false. 50 Cent is not currently producing a documentary for Netflix on LeBron James. The post that ignited the frenzy across social media originated from a Facebook account, Basketball United. 

 “50 Cent is set to produce a Netflix documentary centered around LeBron James," the Facebook post claimed. The post quickly amassed millions of views, demonstrating the public’s thirst for a project examining the NBA star’s complex life.

The post, shared by the Basketball United Facebook page, even if fake, gathered attention for the right reasons due to James' legacy. LeBron James is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers, widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential athletes in NBA history. Nicknamed King James, he is the league's all-time scoring leader and a four-time NBA champion, four-time MVP, and three-time Olympic gold medalist. 

The hoax likely gained traction due to 50 Cent’s recent success in the documentary space, making the claim seem plausible.

The timing of the rumor was no coincidence, coming on the heels of 50 Cent’s widely discussed documentary success surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs.

50 Cent has quite a few rumors surrounding Netflix, but the rapid spread and high believability of the LeBron James documentary rumor were largely fueled by the undeniable success of 50 Cent’s previous investigative work. His executive production on the Netflix docuseries examining the s----- abuse allegations against Diddy in Sean Combs: The Reckoning, was an explosive hit. 

This success created a context where any rumor involving Jackson tackling another major celebrity or cultural figure is immediately believable. 50 Cent often uses his social media platforms to publicly call out high-profile figures. His reputation for being an unsparing chronicler of controversial topics contributed to the quick acceptance of the hoax.

The four-part series garnered nearly 22 million views in its first week alone, rapidly becoming one of Netflix's most-watched releases of the season. This project firmly established Jackson as a producer capable of creating culturally significant, hard-hitting content. The overwhelming viewership and intense media coverage surrounding the Diddy project created a context where any rumor involving Jackson tackling another major celebrity is immediately believable.
