Netflix has won the distribution rights to 50 Cent’s provocative new documentary, "Diddy Do It?", after an intense bidding war involving several major streaming services and broadcast networks. This acquisition, reported by TMZ, marks another high-profile addition to Netflix's lineup of original content.
The documentary has generated substantial interest as it explores the multiple allegations of sexual assault against music industry titan Sean “Diddy” Combs. 50 Cent, a vocal critic of Combs in recent months, has frequently addressed these claims on his Instagram account. Celebrating the Netflix deal, the rapper shared a post, writing, “Ok TMZ put up a 2024 picture baby, let’s work! LOL 😆”

Fresh Sexual Assault Allegations Against Diddy
In a significant development, a new lawsuit has been filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs by former model Crystal McKinney. Filed in the U.S. District Court in New York, the lawsuit alleges that Combs sexually assaulted McKinney in a recording studio bathroom in 2003.
According to the complaint, McKinney met Combs at a Men’s Fashion Week dinner in Manhattan. She claims that after the dinner, Combs invited her to his studio, where she was given alcohol and a marijuana joint that she later believed to be laced with another substance. McKinney alleges that Combs then led her to a bathroom, where he forcibly kissed her and made her perform oral sex against her will.
McKinney's lawsuit states that the incident led to a steep decline in her modeling career, which she attributes to being blackballed by Combs. The emotional fallout from the alleged assault, she claims, drove her into a downward spiral of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, culminating in a suicide attempt in 2004.
Industry and Legal Repercussions
The lawsuit also names Bad Boy Records, Universal Music Group, and Sean John Clothing as defendants, alleging that these entities enabled the assault by maintaining Combs in a position of power despite knowing the risks he posed.
This case is the latest in a series of legal challenges for Combs. Last November, Combs' former girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit accusing him of prolonged abuse, which was settled within a day. However, subsequent allegations have emerged, including a 2016 security video released by CNN showing Combs physically assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway.
Despite Combs’ denial of these allegations and his resignation as chairman of Revolt, federal agents recently raided his Los Angeles and Miami homes as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation.
Combs' Denial and Public Response
Combs has consistently denied all allegations of sexual assault. In a statement released on December 6, he asserted, “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.”
As the legal proceedings against Combs continue, the public eagerly anticipates the release of "Diddy Do It?" on Netflix, which promises to offer an in-depth look into the controversies surrounding one of hip-hop’s most influential figures. The documentary is expected to contribute significantly to the ongoing discourse about power, accountability, and abuse within the entertainment industry.
