50 Cent announces new TV series inspired by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs rise and fall
50 Cent is teasing a new television series inspired by the rise and fall of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The G-Unit rapper has kept a close eye on Combs’ sex trafficking trial and all of the allegations against him, and now he’s ready to launch a show based on his life.
Taking to his Instagram account over the weekend, 50 revealed the series would be titled Mogul while sharing the official logo.
“Inspired by the rise and fall of Sean P Diddy Combs,” he wrote in the post’s caption. “Fvck it I gotta make some money off this shit. Coming Soon! @50centaction This ain’t Empire.”
The news comes after 50 announced he had teamed up with Netflix to create a new docuseries, tentatively titled Diddy Do It?, in 2023, which would give a “voice to the voiceless.”
In a joint statement, 50 and director Alexandria Stapleton said, “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far. We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives.”
They added, “While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ 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.”
Combs is facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. He’s pleaded not guilty to all five counts and could face up to life in prison if convicted. His criminal trial is set to continue in Manhattan this week.
