Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly preparing to release a docu-series, with Zeus Network unveiling a trailer for the project, which is slated to premiere in 2026.
The docu series comes following Netflix’s four-part documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
The docuseries — produced in part by longtime rival 50 Cent — premiered on December 2, 2025. It explores decades of allegations surrounding Combs, including claims of sexual misconduct, abuse, and other criminal activity.
According to Combs’ representatives, the documentary uses private recordings and personal content that were never cleared for public release. His team claims the series includes hotel-room video, internal legal discussions, and decades’ worth of footage Combs allegedly planned to use for a future personal project.
They argue Netflix knowingly included “pre-indictment material from an unfinished personal documentary” without consent, framing the release as not only unethical but potentially unlawful.
50 Cent’s involvement:
Producers tapped rapper and television executive 50 Cent—who has a long, well-documented feud with Combs—to help lead the project. For Diddy’s team, this was an added insult.
A representative called the decision “a deeply personal slap in the face,” suggesting that handing control of Combs’ story to someone who has spent years publicly mocking him shows Netflix prioritized sensationalism over fairness.
Beyond reputation management, Combs’ team says the documentary raises serious legal questions about the ownership and use of personal recordings. They maintain that the footage was collected over many years for a controlled, authorized autobiographical project—not a third-party exposé.
They also criticized the editing choices, alleging that the trailer manipulates context to present Combs “in the most damaging and dishonest light possible.”
The controversy surrounding the docuseries has only intensified interest in its release. Supporters of Combs argue his team’s objections should be taken seriously, while critics believe the pushback signals how damaging the documentary could be.
