Rapper, record executive, and businessman 50 Cent appeared on The Enthusiast podcast on September 26 and opened up about why he never attended a single Sean Combs party. He also suggested that most celebrities are choosing to remain silent on Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles because they "participated to some degree."
“You know I’m the only one who’s been vocal about it long before it actually… I also didn’t participate, I also didn’t go to those parties… A lot of celebrity culture that you don’t hear saying anything is because they participated to a degree,” 50 Cent went on record.
When the host, Lincoln Salazar, asked if there was a “reason” why he wasn’t present at those “parties back in the day,” the Queens native replied:
“I’m not just with all that freaky sh*t, like all of the stuff that these… though I’m not into that type of stuff. I’m just a little more maybe you could say, basic or normal…”
Elsewhere, 50 Cent also insisted that Diddy “did it” and was guilty of everything he was accused of.
Exploring 50 Cent’s recent comments on Diddy
During his recent conversation with The Enthusiast podcast, 50 Cent offered his sharp criticism of Diddy and expressed his general disgust at all the accusations against the Bad Boy Records mogul. He also shared that he was producing a Netflix docuseries on Diddy, which has “Diddy Do It” as its working title.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, further mentioned that throughout his journey of calling out Diddy long before his legal troubles began, he hasn’t had a “support system” or a “peer group of artists” to back him up.
However, that didn’t prevent him from taking responsibility for slamming Diddy for all his alleged misconduct. Jackson said that he had to be pretty much “on his own” and didn’t have to “behave a certain way,” which is why he could continue his criticism of Sean Combs.
Curtis further explained that when the Tubi documentary, TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy, was being made, they had no clue that he would be arrested or indicted so soon but essentially wanted to focus on the “downfall of his credibility.”
Elsewhere, the 49-year-old rapper talked about working on multiple projects at his studios in Shreveport, Louisiana, his super-successful The Final Lap Tour, and the growth of his sports beverage brand SIRE Spirits.
This is not the first time 50 Cent has spoken publicly about not attending Diddy’s parties. In July 2024, he told The Hollywood Reporter that he has always been “very vocal” about not attending Puffy’s lavish parties as they had an “uncomfortable energy connected to it.”
50 Cent’s Netflix documentary on Diddy is a “complex narrative spanning decades”
Earlier this week, 50 Cent appeared for an exclusive interview with Variety, where he confirmed that he was executive producing a docuseries on Netflix surrounding the s*x trafficking, racketeering, s*xual assault, and violent abuse accusations against Sean Combs. His G-Unit Film & Television was one of the production houses involved.
He also shared that Alexandria Stapleton would direct and co-produce the project through her production studio, House of Nonfiction, alongside Texas Crew Productions.
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative, spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far. We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives,” 50 and Stapleton shared.
“While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions,” they added.
50 Cent first announced the docuseries in December 2023 following multiple lawsuits against Diddy. The proceeds from it would be used to offer support to s*xual assault victims.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into federal custody from Manhattan’s Park Hyatt Hotel on September 16 following a grand jury indictment. He has been charged with three felony counts, including racketeering conspiracy, s*x trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
So far, despite pleading “not guilty,” he has been denied bail twice. He is currently being held without bond and under procedural suicide watch at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial. If convicted, Diddy is looking at 15 years to life in federal prison.
