For decades, Sean “Diddy” Combs was a powerful force in the music industry as a performer a record executive/producer.
As Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, Combs was a superstar. Diddy had his run-ins with the law before, but none as serious as his 2024 arrest and subsequent federal trial and conviction.
Now, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is set to debut his Diddy documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, on Netflix.
The premiere of this four-episode docuseries is just days away, and Watch With Us is sharing everything you need to know about Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
When Will ‘Sean Combs: The Reckoning’ Stream on Netflix?
Netflix has set a December 2 premiere date for Sean Combs: The Reckoning, and all four episodes will be released on that day. Jackson is executive producing the documentary alongside its director, Stacy Scripter. The documentary will touch upon Diddy’s rise in the music industry as the founder of Bad Boy Entertainment, as well as his role in discovering talents like Mary J. Blige, Jodeci and Danity Kane.
The documentary will feature testimonials and interviews with Combs’ childhood friends, ex-associates, former employees and artists he was associated with who paint a darker picture of his musical ascent. It will also focus on the allegations made against Diddy and how the latest case against him has caused the music empire he built to crumble and fall around him. It’s been a fall from grace that’s happened in full view of the public. But there are still plenty of details that haven’t emerged yet, and the documentary’s team may shed more light on the subject.
What Crimes Was Diddy Convicted of?

Diddy was on trial between May 5 and July 2 of this year, where he faced charges of federal sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering. The jury found him not guilty on the two most serious charges, racketeering and sex trafficking.
However, that was the extent of any good news for Diddy that came out of the trial. The jury found him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, and Diddy was subsequently sentenced to 50 months in prison, not counting time already served. Barring a Presidential pardon, that’s where Diddy will be staying for the immediate future.
Is There a Personal Feud Between 50 Cent and Diddy?
It certainly seems personal, doesn’t it? The animosity between the two goes back nearly two decades, when 50 Cent’s 2006 diss track, “The Bomb,” leveled the explosive allegation that Diddy was involved with the murder of Notorious B.I.G. in 1997. For the record, Diddy denied those charges. 50 Cent also says that he’s been talking about Diddy’s sexual misconduct for a decade, and he couldn’t resist trolling him during the trial.
For now, it’s unclear if 50 Cent actively participated on-camera for the documentary, or if he simply executive-produced the show and remained behind the scenes. Either way, with Diddy incarcerated, 50 Cent will essentially get the last word in through the show.
