50 Cent’s Diddy documentary delayed? Rapper issues update on ‘difficult project’ in the wake of Jay-Z allegations
50 Cent admitted to the challenges he faces in developing the Diddy Netflix documentary as allegations against the rapper keep blowing up.
In an ambitious attempt to flesh out a “complex narrative spanning decades,” Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, an outspoken critic of Sean “Diddy” Combs, first announced last year that he was developing a documentary on the disgraced hip-hop mogul’s allegations. The fellow rapper’s major revelation followed soon after the Bad Boy Records founder’s former girlfriend Cassandra Ventura, aka the R&B star Cassie, sued him for raping and abusing her for over a decade. Although that particular lawsuit was quickly settled, the case again jumped into focus when, months later, in 2024, hard visual evidence of Diddy viciously attacking the singer hit our virtual timelines. Since then, the floodgates have further unloaded a massive streak of bad days for the Revolt founder, once deemed the “gatekeeper” of the music industry.
Cent continues to endlessly troll his professional rival, whose charges of sex trafficking, sexual assault and racketeering will be profoundly probed in the upcoming Netflix documentary. Although the project has long been in production, the seemingly never-ending list of violent accusations in Combs’ name has only expanded ever since. Fellow music royalty icon and superstar Jay-Z has also been dragged into the case, with an updated lawsuit alleging that he took turns with Diddy to rape a then-13-year-old girl at an MTV VMAs after-party in 2000.
In the wake of the explosive developments on this front, 50 Cent issued an update on the purportedly titled “Diddy Do It” documentary, which is in production, during a recent interaction on GMA3. Acknowledge the expansive spectrum of allegations against Combs, including his high-profile ties within the industry, Jackson admitted how his passion project was basically demanding him to invest all his blood, sweat and tears into it. “It’s a difficult project because every day, there’s new accusations coming out, it’s new things that happened,” he said of the Netflix Diddy doc. “So, it’s become an octopus, with so many powers and so many things going on.”
In September, Variety confirmed that Netflix had finally won the bidding war for the documentary as the project clinched the green light on the streaming giant. Cent and project director Alexandria Stapleton said in a statement, “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.”
On GMA3, he added that he never expected the heavy allegations against the ‘Bad Boy for Life’ to blow up to this extent. “I don’t think anyone could have anticipated this many accusations and things that have taken place.”
Earlier this month, Cent branched out his internet post, seemingly shading Combs to take a swipe at the Roc Nation founder as well. A now-deleted AI video initially posted online showed Diddy and Jay-Z being handcuffed and taken into custody.
Both rappers have denied all allegations against them. It remains to be seen if Cent’s forthcoming Netflix project, which has yet to lock down a release date, will incorporate the Jay-Z debate. Considering the heavy weight of content and accusations Curtis Jackson and Stapleton have to shred through to assemble the final result, it wouldn’t be a shocker if the “Many Men” hitmaker requests an extension on the undefined deadline for this premiere.
A rep for 50 Cent previously confirmed, “The untitled ‘Diddy’ documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson serving as Executive Producer, proceeds from this documentary that G-Unit Film & Television receives will go to victims of sexual assault and rape.”
The entire 2025 Lexus GX lineup sees a price increase, with the off-road Overtrail and Overtrail+ trims receiving the biggest upcharge. The base-level Premium model now starts at $65,285, which is $1035 more than before. To help justify the price hikes, Lexus has given every GX a few new standard features.
All GX models now come standard with a power-adjustable steering column. With the Lexus Memory System, the driver’s seat, mirrors, and steering wheel have settings that can be saved. For 2025, prices for the predictably upscale Luxury and Luxury+ trims are only inflated by $500. Meanwhile, the off-road-focused Overtrail and Overtrail+ trims see a more significant price increase.
As the ritzy cousin to the Toyota Land Cruiser, the GX mid-size luxury SUV has the same off-road DNA. It’s also offered in two different Overtrail trims that highlight that part of its character. For 2025, the Overtrail and Overtrail+ both receive a 1.0-inch suspension lift on top of their other standard hardware, which includes an electronic locking center differential, crawl control, hill-descent control, and an enhanced e-KDSS suspension that automatically disconnects both anti-roll bars.
The additional clearance comes at a price, though. The standard Overtrail now starts at $72,930 ($3680 more than before). The Overtrail+, which adds luxury touches such as massaging front seats and a kick-sensing power tailgate, is $3145 more expensive. It now has an $80,395 initial ask. Lexus says the 2025 GX lineup will arrive at dealerships early next year.
