‘It keeps them quiet’: 50 cent on Diddy’s purported party footage

( NewsNation ) — Curtis Jackson III, the American rapper better known as 50 Cent , claims that people are staying quiet about Sean “Diddy” Combs because they’ve been to his parties.

In an interview with US Weekly , 50 Cent was asked about current projects he is working on, including producing a Netflix docuseries on Combs — “Diddy Do It?” — which is being produced by his company G Unit Films.

Insiders say the doc will be “damning,” and 50 Cent has the money to pay people to participate.

Combs is currently involved in several lawsuits that accuse him of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. He has denied all allegations. Two of his properties were raided by federal law enforcement , although they have not confirmed the searches were in connection to the litigation.

During the interview, 50 Cent said he was the right producer for the documentary because not only is he the only person in hip-hop culture to have produced hit TV, but the rapper said he was not involved with Combs and his parties.

“I’m not on the tapes,” 50 Cent said.

Footage of Combs’ parties was reportedly discovered during the raids, which 50 Cent claims have kept people quiet and prevented them from speaking out against Combs.

“Some of the people who have been around in the culture who are not saying anything — that’s because they’ve been to the parties, (and) they don’t know what part of their experiences are on tape,” 50 Cent told US Weekly. “So, it keeps them quiet and it looks like I’m the only guy, but I’ve been (saying) for years that something’s not right.”

Formerly known as “Puff Daddy,” Combs has faced major backlash after the lawsuits, but he was once considered one of the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the last three decades. The founder of Bad Boy Records has worked with artists such as Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112, and also created a fashion clothing line and a music-focused TV channel.
