Reason First: 50 Cent Shares Unseen Diddy Footage From Netflix Documentary: “[It] Shows You His Character”

Diddy is guilty. That is apparent. What has to be explored is the road leading up to his conviction on prostitution charges. Mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and filmmaker Alexandria Stapleton have in the cannon footage Diddy days before his appearance as a then suspect in the cases brought against him.

50 of course relishes the idea of tearing down the fallen impresario. As a preeminent troll, he has expressed an aversion to Sean Combs for years.

He recalls when Diddy asked if he wanted to go shopping with him. He viewed that as a subtle way being taken under the influence of the Diddler.

Stapleton has prepared enough on her own gathering enough material to not paint Diddy as a monster but a deeply flawed human being. In documentary form, this is the best route to take. Without demonizing the subject and making plain all his warts, both Fifty and Miss Stapleton have crafted a docuseries that examines the life of a troubled man.

With this clear-eyed view, 50, Stapleton and company have the opportunity to delve into his actual character and the man he presented to the world and what lurked beneath in his private life.

As keen observers of the landscape, they have chosen to bring the truth into the sunshine. By whittling down the hours of footage available to them, they brought an interesting, even captivating persona and reined him in to be the multifaceted male in all of this.

In one instance, he is speaking to his lawyers via mobile phone and he’s telling them they’re “losing.” In this docuseries, it is expected that Diddy will show his true self and what he’s about concerning Cassie and other people who orbited around him.

50 finds that Cassie acted as a victim. This is where he strays. Cassie was no babe in the woods. She knew what she was doing and what she got into all those times. Now, of course Fifty says that things started slow but then spiraled out of control.

This may be true but she even admitted to anticipating the freak off sessions. With Diddy getting caught for offenses behind bars including imbibing on jail house hooch, he has some serious things to work out in his own mind.

Diddy might not see the docuseries if Netflix isn’t on in the day room. What he might glean from surviving family and friends is the reality behind all his misdeeds.

The docuseries is a photograph not a portrait, however. Only a dramatic series or film or even novel or play could truly convey the micro and macro aspects of the once looming figure’s place in pop culture.

50 is adamant in his depiction along with Miss Stapleton. in their abilities to address the parts of Diddy’s life that may be uneasy to discuss, they forge on and present to the world a vision of what was, is, and could’ve been.

By not letting up on the gas, the filmmakers accelerate through the headlines, the eyewitness accounts, and the content of Diddy’s character. This is a definite and compelling way of storytelling. To not take sides but to take on the subject matter with tenacity and a hunger for displaying realness, it appears as if this series will be advantageous for the rapper and moviemakers.

Stapleton has stated on at least one occasion that she is in the business of bringing stories to light, not downplaying wrongdoing, or highlighting triumphs. She is simply concerned with showing the best tale. In her efforts, she has brought it to the attention of people in her industry that that is the best way to get across a story.

Reporters and documentarians often wish to either whitewash or smear their subjects. What is crucial is that they bear witness to the person and not hate or fall in love with the persona.

For 50 Cent and Stapleton, their approach to this material is timely and might even be timeless. Some might argue that the undoing of Diddy is a death knell for the genre of rap music as a whole. In over fifty years, the genre has seen a checkered past. Maybe this will signal the downfall of what could’ve been a culture and a way of life.

With Diddy, it appears he will have to live with the consequences of his actions. Even before he was put in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, United States, he showed signs of a man marked for incarceration.
