‘Been Doin Diddy Parties for 15 years’: Marlon Wayans Defends Himself After Being Called Out for His Relationship With Diddy
The 50 Cent-produced docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning has been making news every day as it’s gotten a strong response from a lot of people.
Diddy’s lawyers of course never wanted it to air and even tried to stop Netflix from releasing it. The disgraced music mogul’s attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter to Netflix on Dec. 1, 2025, demanding that the streaming giant not release the series.
Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, added that the program contains “stolen footage that was never authorized for release,” calling it a “shameful hit piece,” and that no one on Diddy’s legal team was sent a screener of the docuseries ahead of time.
Netflix went ahead and released the doc the next day and since its debut, it has taken the No. 1 spot in several countries.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has been celebrating the show’s success with his humor on Instagram, and taking on anyone who has something to say about the docuseries. That’s where comedian Marlon Wayans comes in.
He and 50 started going back and forth after Wayans, who had been friends with Diddy for years, appeared on The Cruz Show podcast and gave his take on Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
Wayans criticized the documentary, suggesting that as a filmmaker or storyteller can “create any narrative.” He also accused 50 Cent of “kicking a man when he’s down,” arguing that Diddy is already facing serious consequences.
The “21 Questions” artist went after Wayans via social media, telling him to “keep my name out your mouth, boy.” Fans then piled on too, with some digging up old posts Wayans wrote praising Diddy.
One read, “Been doin’ Diddy parties for 15 years and I must say you never let me down Puff. Aint no party like a Diddy party. Good times. People!”
When fans started saying they were going to boycott anything Wayans is involved in and not go see any of his movies, the comedic actor went on Instagram to defend himself, insisting, “I’m gonna make it abundantly clear. I’m not here defending Diddy.”
Wayans claimed that his name got “dragged into this” because he was asked a question and simply offered his opinion.
50 Cent, meanwhile, had a message for anyone who thinks his feud with Diddy is what fueled the documentary or that it’s completely one-sided telling Us Weekly, “I’m not doing this as some personal mission. I’m telling a story no one else is telling because I don’t have the fear that [others] feel towards him,”
The rapper also spoke to GQ about that and explained, “To be honest, just the culture itself … If someone’s not saying something, then you would assume that everybody in hip-hop is OK with what’s going on. Because [other rappers] will say, ‘I ain’t going to say nothing. I’m going to mind my business’ because of a position that [Diddy] held in culture for so long, you understand? So that would leave me. Without me saying that I will do it, there’s nobody there.”
