50 Cent has never been one to back down from drama, and his latest project—a Netflix documentary on Diddy—is stirring up the industry like never before. Titled *”Did He Do It?”*, the docuseries promises to delve into decades of allegations surrounding Diddy, including abuse, racketeering, and more. It’s said to feature shocking receipts and behind-the-scenes secrets some would prefer stayed buried.
But as expected, some powerful figures in the industry aren’t thrilled. Rumors suggest moves are being made to shut it down. However, 50 isn’t about to let that happen. He’s naming names, spilling tea, and standing firm against the backlash.
To understand the tension between 50 Cent and Diddy, you have to go back to their beginnings.
**Diddy’s Rise to Fame**
Born in Harlem in 1969, Diddy faced hardships early in life, including losing his father at the age of two. After moving to Mount Vernon, he embraced new opportunities and developed his signature hustle. By his twenties, Diddy was already a rising star in the music industry. He interned at Uptown Records before founding Bad Boy Entertainment in 1993, where he nurtured icons like Biggie, Craig Mack, and Lil’ Kim. Through the 1990s and early 2000s, Diddy built a multimillion-dollar empire, dabbling in music, fashion (Sean John), and liquor (Cîroc vodka).
**50 Cent’s Hard Road to Stardom**
Meanwhile, 50 Cent, born in South Jamaica, Queens, had a much grittier path. From street hustling to surviving a near-fatal shooting, 50’s rise to fame was fueled by sheer determination. After being dropped by Columbia Records following the incident, he rebuilt his career, eventually landing with Eminem and Dr. Dre’s Shady/Aftermath. His breakout album *”Get Rich or Die Tryin’”* catapulted him to superstardom.
**The Beef Begins**
The tension between the two can be traced to 50 Cent’s early diss track, *”How to Rob”*, where he mocked Diddy and others. Over the years, their relationship remained rocky, with 50 throwing shade at Diddy’s business and personal life. One infamous incident occurred at a wedding where Diddy reportedly offered to take 50 shopping—a comment 50 found demeaning.
**The Documentary and the Fallout**
Fast forward to today, 50 is pulling back the curtain on Diddy’s past. The documentary is expected to explore serious allegations, including abuse and a toxic culture surrounding Diddy’s empire. Co-directed by Alexandria Stapleton, the series aims to give voice to alleged victims and hold figures accountable.
Despite industry pushback, 50 is determined. He claims certain individuals are working behind the scenes to block the release. Figures like Jay-Z, Clive Davis, and Diddy’s longtime partner, Harvey Pierre, have been speculated as potential disruptors.
