"A lot of it could've been hearsay" - Dame Dash reacts to 50 Cent's Diddy docuseries after initially casting doubts over its release

Dame Dash has weighed in on 50 Cent and Netflix's docuseries about Diddy.

In a video circulating on X, Dash reacted to the new docuseries, alleging that it could have been inflated or fabricated. He expressed doubt that a fellow "Black man could ever do that,"

"If I'm a criminal, and I see someone doing a crime, I'm not telling. If it might be a violation, like to a kid, then I'm gonna go and handle that." He also claimed that Netflix is not Black-owned, and so, he'd "never tear another Black man down for a White man."

In the video, Dame Dash also claimed that he'd only ever "tear down a White man," and not a fellow Black man.

"Another thing I didn't like about the movie, to say the least, was, a lot of it could have been hearsay," he claimed. "I've been accused of a lot of things I haven't done. So for a Black man to give somebody else that platform to that... I'm not jackin' that."

The drama between Dame Dash and 50 Cent explored:

Netflix premiered its four-part series, “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” on December 2. The project was executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and directed by Alexandria Stapleton, an Emmy-winning filmmaker. It chronicled the life, career, and notorious legal drama of the disgraced mogul.

Diddy was previously convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution. He is currently serving 50 months in prison, and is expected to be released in 2028.

Earlier this month, Dame Dash doubled down on his criticism of 50 Cent when he took to Instagram to pen a scathing post:

“Never trust a Black man that will make a documentary tearing down another Black man for a white man… that’s nasty work.”

As for 50 Cent, he shot back at Dame Dash's comments in a post on Instagram. Paired with a clip of Dame Dash speaking with Charlamagne Tha God on The Breakfast Club, where the two men claimed that the rapper would never produce a documentary about Diddy, he wrote in the caption:

"don't ever believe people like this!"

Alexandra Stapleton has yet to weigh in on the criticism, though she previously said of the documentary and its significance:

“Being a woman in the industry, and going through the #MeToo movement — watching giants in music and film go on trial, and to know what their outcomes were … When Cassie dropped her lawsuit, I just thought this could go a million different directions. I wondered how she had the confidence to go out there against a mogul like Sean Combs. As a filmmaker, I instantly knew it was a stress test of whether we’ve changed as a culture, as far as being able to process allegations like this in a fair way.”

She continued,

“This isn’t just about the story of Sean Combs or the story of Cassie, or the story of any of the victims, or the allegations against him, or the trial. Ultimately, this story is a mirror [reflecting us] as the public, and what we are saying when we put our celebrities on such a high pedestal. I hope [this documentary] is a wake-up call for how we idolize people, and to understand that everybody is a human being."

In a statement, 50 Cent said:

“I’m grateful to everyone who came forward and trusted us with their stories, and proud to have Alexandria Stapleton as the director on the project to bring this important story to the screen."
