In a post shared on social media, 50 Cent joked about Jay-Z’s reaction to not being featured in the Diddy Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
Alongside a video that showed Hov’s face deepfaked into Lionel Richie’s “You Are” music video, Fif cracked a joke about how he wasn’t featured in The Reckoning, which debuts on Netflix on Tuesday (Dec. 2). “This the message jay z sent me when he realized he’s not in the Diddy doc,” he wrote alongside the clip. “LOL DEC2 Netflix.”
50 Cent has a long and complicated history with Jay-Z, dating back to their early beef following the release of “How to Rob” in 1999. Last year, he claimed that Jay tried to block him from performing at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Eminem. “They didn’t want me there,” he said. “Eminem wouldn’t do it without me.”
More recently, he indicated that he liked seeing Nicki Minaj going after Jay-Z on social media. “LOL wtf did they do to [Nicki],” 50 wrote. “I like when she get mad.”
Earlier in 2024, Jay-Z was hit with a sexual-assault lawsuit that was later dropped. The Jane Doe who filed the $20 million lawsuit later said that she would remain anonymous out of fear for her safety and mental health. In the initial filing, she accused both Jay-Z and Diddy of sexual assault.
50 Cent has maintained that The Reckoning is “not personal,” despite his history of beef with Diddy. Representatives for Diddy, however, have claimed that the documentary features unauthorized footage of him and that 50 Cent’s past with Diddy makes his involvement troubling.
In a post on Instagram, 50 Cent said that Diddy’s PR team is saying some “very nasty things” about him. “he is calling me an adversary. I just didn’t want to go to his party’s LOL,” he said of Diddy’s representative, Juda Engelmayer.
