50 Cent says he previously hired Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sons for work

Sean Combs: The Reckoning is garnering serious attention, as it delves into Sean “Diddy” Combs’ history in the music industry and alleged personal vendettas. While the docuseries covers the allegations and lawsuits that Diddy still faces post-criminal trial, it also takes a deep dive into Diddy’s relationships.

50 Cent, the executive producer of the four-part series, told Us Weekly that he didn’t help create the documentary as a “personal mission” against Diddy. “I’m telling a story no one else is telling because I don’t have the fear that [others] feel towards him,” he told the publication. “I’m not afraid at all.”

While in conversation with Us Weekly, 50 Cent revealed that he doesn’t have any actual “beef” with Diddy. Additionally, he noted that he’s hired Diddy’s sons, Quincy Brown and Justin Combs, in the past, further proving that he doesn’t genuinely hate the Bad Boy founder.

“He didn’t do one thing to me, I didn’t do one thing to him,” 50 Cent said. “And I’ve hired Quincy and Justin to work in scripted television programs. Why would I hire them if I hated him?”

The rapper noted that he hadn’t spoken to Diddy since he went through his high-profile court case. However, he communicated with one of Diddy’s sons. “There was a point when they were interested in being a part of the doc because they wanted to show their perspective,” 50 Cent added. “They were concerned about how [things] would be portrayed.”

Christian ‘King’ Combs posted to his Instagram Stories about the documentary’s ‘lies’ surrounding Biggie’s funeral

In Sean Combs: The Reckoning, one of the more controversial allegations centers on how The Notorious B.I.G.’s funeral was handled. Former Bad Boy Records co‑founder Kirk Burrowes claimed that Sean “Diddy” Combs initially pledged to organize an extravagant New York service but ultimately insisted that the cost be billed back to Biggie’s estate rather than entirely shouldered by Diddy or his label. According to Burrowes, Diddy wanted to stage “the biggest funeral … New York has ever seen.” However, when faced with the rising expenses, he purportedly decided the late rapper’s royalties or estate should absorb the cost.

This particular claim has been strongly disputed by figures connected to Biggie’s estate. Estate manager Wayne Barrow and others have maintained that Bad Boy Records and Diddy covered all funeral expenses.

In response to these allegations, Christian “King” Combs reposted a statement to his Instagram Stories. “Biggie’s Estate Speaks Out: ‘The Netflix Documentary Is Full of Lies, Diddy Paid for Biggie’s Funeral With No Reimbursement, He’s Always Done Right By Us,'” the statement read, according to Cosmopolitan. King then added “Capsters” over the post.

In November 2025, TMZ saw Christian “King” Combs at the airport. King verified with the reporters that he speaks to his dad, Sean “Diddy” Combs, regularly. He also teased that his dad “might be on the way home.”

“We’re gonna play ‘Diddy Free’ the whole Christmas, whole Thanksgiving,” King said. “He coming home, though. Just watch out. He might come home before that. … You never know.”
