Rapper 50 Cent announced that he was developing a Sean Combs docuseries on December 7, 2023, stating that proceeds from the project would be going to victims of the sexual assault and rape allegations that Diddy has been involved in.[2]

Netflix announced production on the series with Alex Stapleton directing the project on September 25, 2024,[3][4] one week after Combs was arrested on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.[5] 50 Cent and Stapleton stated:

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. 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.[6]

The docuseries is executive produced by 50 Cent, Stapleton, and David Karabinas.[6]
