Janice Combs, Diddy’s mother, is breaking her silence about the Netflix documentary ‘Sean Combs: The Reckoning.’

In a statement issued to Deadline, Comb accused the documentary of spreading “false narratives.”

“I am writing this statement to correct some of the lies presented in the Netflix,” Combs wrote. “These inaccuracies regarding my son Sean’s upbringing and family life is intentionally done to mislead viewers and further harm our reputation.”

“The allegations stated by Mr. Kirk Burrows that my son slapped me while we were conversing after the tragic City College events on December 28, 1991, are inaccurate and patently false,” Combs continued. “That was a very sad day for all of us.”

“For him to use this tragedy and incorporate fake narratives to further his prior failed and current attempt to gain what was never his, Bad Boy Records is wrong, outrageous and past offensive.”

Combs went on to demand that Netflix remove the alleged inaccuracies.

“I am requesting that these distortions, falsehoods and misleading statements be publicly retracted,” she exclaimed.

50 Cent says he has no issue with diddy:

According to 50 Cent, the executive producer of the doc, he has no personal agenda and just wants the truth to come out.

During an interview with GQ,  50 shared that he was motivated to make the Netflix documentary to take a stand for hip-hop.

“To be honest, just the culture itself,” 50 explained. “If someone’s not saying something, then you would assume that everybody in hip-hop is okay with what’s going on. Because [other rappers] will say, “I ain’t going to say nothing. I’m going to mind my business,” because of a position that [Diddy] held in culture for so long, you understand? So [that] would leave me. Without me saying that I will do it, there’s nobody there.”

50 then spoke about how people came forward to share their accounts of Diddy’s alleged deeds.

“When you’re part of the culture, things will come to you faster than something that’s not,” he said. “Because whoever he’ll be working with, it is usually [someone] in or around the culture, so it surfaced.”
