50 CENT is dropping his Netflix Diddy documentary next Tuesday and he is promising to reveal all the files in the Sean Combs sex crime scandal.

The four-part docu-series "Sean Combs: The Reckoning", will explore the extensive list of allegations against Combs, as well as the broader cultural environment that fostered his career.

The logline asks one central question: “Diddy. Puff Daddy. Love. The public knows the hip hop icon by many names - but who is the real Sean Combs?” It presents the project as an extensive exploration of the producer, entrepreneur and now convicted offender.

The series is led by executive producer Jackson and directed by Emmy winner Alexandria Stapleton. Together, they aim to piece together a narrative that draws from industry voices, earlier public records and the many recent allegations and testimonies.

“I have been committed to real storytelling for years through G Unit Film and Television,” Jackson said in a statement released by the production team.

“I am grateful to everyone who came forward and trusted us with their stories, and proud to have Alexandria Stapleton as the director on the project to bring this important story to the screen.”

Stapleton said that the documentary is not only about Combs or any one accuser but about the public itself.

“This is a mirror reflecting us and what we are saying when we place celebrities on a very high pedestal,” she said. “I hope this documentary is a wake-up call for how we idolise people, and to understand that everybody is a human being.”
