50 Cent Says Diddy’s Sons Nearly Appeared in ‘Sean Combs: The Reckoning’: ‘They Wanted to Show Their Perspective’

50 Cent revealed that Diddy’s sons nearly participated in his Sean Combs: The Reckoning docuseries to provide a perspective from their point of view, but none of Combs’ children ended up being interviewed for the Netflix series.

50 graced the latest cover of Us Weekly on Tuesday (Dec. 9), where he touched on an array of topics tied to the Diddy docuseries, including trying to get Combs’ kids to be part of The Reckoning.

“I had communications with his son. There was a point when they were interested in being a part of the doc because they wanted to show their perspective,” he told the publication. “They were concerned about how [things] would be portrayed.”

Despite his rivalry with Diddy, the G-Unit mogul had been in communication as he cast two of Diddy’s sons, Justin and Quincy, in television programs of his in the past.

While Diddy’s family members didn’t appear as interview subjects in the series, the public is still responding. According to Deadline, the explosive The Reckoning docuseries netted 21.8 million views in its opening week on Netflix to kick off December.

Combs’ lawyers issued a cease-and-desist to the streamer over the documentary on Dec. 1, a day before The Reckoning‘s release. In an accompanying statement, the disgraced mogul’s spokesperson slammed the four-part program as a “shameful hit piece” that ripped “private footage out of context.” Netflix denied the accusations in a statement.

Even though he produced the documentary, 50 also said he hasn’t had any communication with the incarcerated musician since his arrest on federal charges in September 2024.

All six of Diddy’s children who were present delivered statements at Combs’ sentencing. The embattled Bad Boy mogul was acquitted of charges for racketeering and sex trafficking, but convicted of violating federal prostitution laws.

“We’re going to love him unconditionally through his struggles. But in front of you and in front of us is a changed man,” Combs’ son, Quincy, told the courtroom. “Our father has learned a major lesson. Week after week, we’ve seen him evolve, something we haven’t seen in 15 years. He’s completely transformed.”

Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in prison with time served in October, and 50 Cent called the split verdict “luck.”

“That was luck,” 50 told Us Weekly. “He beat the case [but people] don’t understand why he was [crying] on a chair, right? His finances are dwindling. [He] should have filed for bankruptcy. [And] he thought he was coming home. His attorneys … convinced him he was going to come home when he went to court — he had already booked public speaking engagements.”
