Diddy's legal team went after Netflix for dropping a documentary they say was basically a revenge project orchestrated by 50 Cent and streaming boss Ted Sarandos, calling it a hit piece that used illegally grabbed video. The lawyers claimed Netflix originally pitched their version of a doc back in 2023, got shut down by Combs, and then just gave 50 the reins to cook up something biased.
Netflix pushed back hard through a spokesperson who told Complex the whole thing is a cap. They said the footage was legit, nobody got paid to show up, and director Alexandria Stapleton cleared everything properly. The streamer also denied any link between the old pitch attempt and what ended up airing, saying creative decisions were not just sitting in 50's lap alone.
