Diddy and 50 Cent’s Feud Explained: From 2006 Diss Track to Explosive Netflix Documentary

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Sean “Diddy” Combs have been at odds for nearly two decades, with a rivalry that stretches from the music studio to multi-million-dollar business ventures — and now to Netflix.

How It All Began: The Bomb Diss Track

The feud ignited in 2006 when 50 Cent accused Diddy of involvement in Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 murder in his diss track The Bomb. While Combs has consistently denied any role in the killing, the accusations set the tone for years of tension.

50 Cent later described their relationship as strictly professional: they worked together briefly in the early 2000s, but he never viewed Combs as a friend.

“I didn’t ever party or hang out with him. He’s been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it,” 50 said in a 2024 interview.

Rival Vodka Brands & Business Tensions

Their feud also extended to business. Combs became the face of Ciroc vodka, while 50 Cent partnered with Effen Vodka, frequently comparing the products and taking jabs at Combs’ brand.

Legal Troubles & Escalation

In 2024, Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by the Department of Homeland Security amid lawsuits alleging sexual abuse and trafficking, which he denied and was later acquitted of. 50 Cent publicly criticized Combs, claiming he had long suspected wrongdoing and distancing himself from Combs’ parties.

“I’ve been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing s— like that,” 50 said.

Netflix Documentary: Sean Combs: The Reckoning

Following Combs’ 2024 arrest, 50 Cent produced a Netflix documentary detailing the allegations. Sean Combs: The Reckoning, released December 2, features exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and accounts from alleged victims and associates.

“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades,” 50 Cent said.

Diddy’s Response

Despite 50 Cent’s accusations, Combs has maintained a public stance of denial, even claiming in 2018 that 50 “loves me” and jokingly asking to be friends.


Summary:
From diss tracks to vodka wars to Netflix documentaries, the 50 Cent–Diddy feud has evolved into one of hip-hop’s most enduring rivalries. The saga continues to capture headlines decades after it began.
