50 Cent on never-before-seen 'Diddy' footage: 'shows you his character'

Never-before-seen footage of Sean Diddy Combs in the days leading up to his arrest in New York last September.

You want to put the stuff in my fanny pack, King?

The exclusive video obtained by Netflix shows Combs debating with his lawyers about strategy.

Listen to me. I'm going to get off the phone right now, and I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution. No matter what nobody said, let's just hear it there. Y'all are not working together the right way.

We're losing.

The footage is part of a new highly anticipated docuseries by director Alex Stapleton and rapper and executive producer Curtis Fittison Jackson titled Sean Combs, The Reckoning. Was there anything that surprised you

when you're watching? I think it was surprising that he actually filmed it. It

was very interesting to watch a man who's known for his brand presence you know he's he has a really amazing knack for for marketing and all of that and how he was sort of taking that into account and how he was coming off to the

public. The exclusive video also shows Combs in Harlem greeting fans.

Don't fall back.

Long as you're wearing it, we wouldn't.

I'll accept it.

I need some hand sanitizer.

Hold on.

I got it.

I've been out in the streets amongst the people. Yeah, I got to take a bag. Like, the amount of people that actually I'm coming in contact with, like, that's what I have to do.

You know what I'm saying? It's like 150 hugs.

You're a public person as well, and there was one instance in Harlem, and his reaction when those people...

Went away. went away.

Got in the car and said, I feel like I need to wash, like I'm dirt. That was, it shows you his character.

Is that the, was that the reason for including it?

Yeah, I mean, it is, what's the odds that you would do that in front of the camera? Like that's one of the moments where he forgot he was on tape.

How do you respond to people who say that it's more about the disdain that you have for Sean Combs than it is for giving the victims a platform?

What they consider pre-existing beef, right? For 20 years, right? It's me being uncomfortable with him suggesting that he takes me shopping, or I looked at it like he was, it was like a tester. Like, maybe you'll come play with me, type of thing, right? And it's not personal.

I think it's important to also let people know that the show is not completely the perspectives of people that did not like Sean. We weren't trying to just get the highlights, the salacious details. You know, that the real goal was to story tell. And if you, not everyone needed to have an allegation to be a part of this project.

The four-part series also features two jurors from Combs' trial who are speaking for the first time about how they reached their mixed verdict, finding Combs guilty of two prostitution offenses but clear of racketeering and sex trafficking charges, both sharing their thoughts on the relationship between Combs and singer Cassie. Juror 75 describing them as two people in love,

and Juror 160 saying in part, domestic violence wasn't one of the charges. Cassie, is she a victim in all this?

I believe Cassie's a victim in all this because she came in as such, she's like 18, like 19 years old, in the very beginning. After a while, over time, you condition for it.

The goal of what the film is trying to do is to let the audience kind of come in to ask questions like, were their decisions colored by certain things? And who got the benefit of the doubt, you know, in that courtroom?

Do you think that hip-hop culture was on trial as much as Sean Combs was?

Not ultimately. If I didn't say anything, you would interpret it as, hip-hop is fine with its behaviors. There's no one else being vocal. So you would look at it and just say, because that mind your business or let me not say nothing about nothing or those things it would allow the entire culture

to register as if they're for that behavior.

If Sean Combs watches this, what do you think he's gonna feel?

Like, wow, this is amazing. I think he's going to say this is the best documentary I've seen in a long time. Because you'll see people saying that. He may feel a different way about pieces and bits of it, but he knows the truth. I think he'll see the truth in it. pieces and bits of it, but he knows the truth. I think he'll see the truth in it.

Wow, that was some finish right there. Thank you, Robin, for that. Sean Combs, the Writing,
