50 Cent argues “very nasty things” are being said about him ahead of the Netflix release of his Diddy documentary.
In an update shared to Instagram, his preferred platform of choice, on Monday (Dec. 1), Fif included a photo of Juda Engelmayer. For those unfamiliar, Engelmayer has been an oft-quoted rep for Diddy as of late, including in connection with the recent proliferation of fake prison images on social media.
“This is puffy’s crisis management PR,” the TV mogul, an executive producer on the Alexandria Stapleton-directed Sean Combs: The Reckoning, wrote in the caption of the post. “He is saying very nasty things about me. I mean very nasty, he is calling me an adversary. I just didn’t want to go to his party’s LOL.”
Indeed, a statement attributed to a Diddy rep, as shared by The Breakfast Club’s Loren Lorosa on Monday, referred to 50 Cent as “a longtime public adversary who has mocked Mr. Combs for decades.” The statement was shared in response to newly teased video from the four-part documentary, with Diddy’s rep alleging that the footage in question hasn’t been authorized for release.
The doc’s rollout comes as Diddy’s legal team is pursuing appeals of his sentence and conviction. As Complex’s Shawn Setaro reported back in July, the Bad Boy Records founder was found guilty of two Mann Act violations. In October, he received a 50-month sentence.
“The old me died in jail, and a new version of me was reborn,” Diddy said in a pre-sentencing letter to the judge presiding over his case. “Prison will change you or kill you—I choose to live.”
