Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson says the controversy surrounding Netflix’s hit documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning is far from over. Days after the series became one of Netflix’s most-watched releases of the year, the rapper-turned-television mogul revealed that he withheld significant footage and allegations from the four-part documentary, footage he now plans to release independently on YouTube.

In a recent livestream and social media posts, 50 Cent told fans that the Netflix version is “just the beginning,” suggesting that a larger trove of videos, testimonies, and behind-the-scenes material was intentionally kept out of the main project. He described the upcoming YouTube releases as “the things they weren’t ready for yet.”

The announcement arrives amid ongoing backlash, legal threats, and public scrutiny surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs. The Netflix documentary, which explored years of allegations, internal turmoil, and previously unseen footage of Combs, sparked intense debate about where the material came from and whether Combs consented to its use. Combs’ legal team has already sent cease-and-desist letters accusing the filmmakers of using unauthorized and “stolen” recordings, an allegation Netflix and the production team have firmly denied.

50 Cent’s latest statement complicates the situation further. According to him, the footage excluded from the Netflix docuseries includes material he considers too “sensitive, chaotic, or legally complex” for the platform at this stage. By releasing additional content on YouTube, he says he is “giving the public the whole story” without the corporate restrictions that come with streaming platforms.

Industry analysts note that this dual-release strategy, mainstream documentary first, independent uploads second, gives 50 Cent a unique level of control over the narrative. It also places him at the center of one of the most significant entertainment controversies of the decade. His move could amplify public interest while sidestepping the rigorous legal vetting that major platforms typically require.

However, legal experts caution that releasing additional footage could trigger new disputes. If any of the upcoming material includes private recordings, unreleased interviews, or clips sourced from third-party videographers, Combs’ team may attempt to challenge their release depending on ownership and usage rights.

For now, 50 Cent appears undeterred. He insists that everything he plans to publish is “cleared, legal, and ready,” emphasizing that the public will see footage that “didn’t make the cut but still matters.” He did not specify a release date but hinted that the first videos will drop soon, saying: “YouTube is where the rest of the story goes.”

As the fallout around Combs continues and more content begins to surface, the documentary’s cultural impact, and the legal battles surrounding it, show no signs of slowing down.
