50 Cent says releasing his Diddy documentary is harder than expected

50 Cent announced some time ago that he was working on a documentary about Diddy and his legal problems. But he now says working on the project has proved to be a huge challenge.

Diddy is currently being held in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center after being arrested in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transporting prostitutes. He's also been hit with a long list of civil suits from people who said he sexually assaulted them.

Plus, there seems to be a new allegation against Diddy each day, and that's what makes working on the documentary so arduous, according to 50. "It’s a difficult project,” he said on GMA3: What You Need to Know. “Because every day there’s new accusations coming out, it’s new things that happened. It’s become an octopus, with so many powers and so many things going on there.”

50 followed that up by saying he's shocked that Diddy has so many accusers. “No. Not this bad. Not this much stuff. I don’t think anyone could’ve anticipated as many accusations and things that have took place," he explained.

There's no word as to when the G-Unit rapper expects the documentary to be released, but it was purchased by Netflix in May. Alexandria Stapleton will direct the project, which will probably be similar to the 2019 docuseries on R. Kelly's sex crimes, Surviving R. Kelly.

"This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far, " Stapleton told Variety a couple of months ago in a joint statement with 50. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives."

"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."
