50 Cent’s documentary detailingSean “Diddy” Combs’ abuse case is officially in the works at Netflix.
On Wednesday, Sept. 25, a rep for the “In Da Club” rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, 49, confirmed the news to PEOPLE.
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” Jackson (for G-Unit Film & Television) and director Alexandria Stapleton (for House of Nonfiction) said in a statement to PEOPLE.

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’s story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions,” the statement continued.
Netflix commissioned the project earlier this year, and a premiere date has yet to be determined, a rep for the streamer tells PEOPLE.
In May,Deadlinereported that Jackson announced the streaming service won “the bidding war” to produce the documentary.

“I’ve been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing s— like that,” Jackson said, referring to Combs’ old moniker. “I’ve been staying out of that s— for years. It’s just an uncomfortable energy connected to it.”
ThePowertelevision producer also explained a past experience that he said made him feel uncomfortable.
“He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest s— in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman,” Jackson continued. “And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f—ing with this weird energy or weird s—,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”
