The Game recently called for rappers R. Kelly and Sean "Diddy" Combs to be freed from prison during his birthday party. For the uninformed, Diddy was sentenced to 50 months after being found guilty of two counts of "transportation to engage in prostitution."Meanwhile, R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in 2022 after being found guilty of "racketeering predicated on criminal conduct including sexual exploitation of children, forced labor and Mann Act violations involving the coercion and transportation of women and girls in interstate commerce to engage in illegal sexual activity."During his 46th birthday party in Hollywood on November 28, 2025, The Game took the microphone to publicly call for his peers' release. According to the clip released by TMZ, The Game said:"Ay, since nobody else gon' say it. Hey man, free Kells, n***a. Free that n***a... Free Diddy ... Free all the freaky homies, I don't give a f**k. Some baby oil and some pee pee, free the guys ... It's my birthday, n***a. I don't see nothing wrong with freeing the guys."Diddy dubbed 50 Cent's upcoming documentary about him a "shameful hit piece"50 Cent has been trolling Sean Combs for years now, amping up his attacks in the wake of the rapper's arrest in 2024. The rapper announced that he was working on a documentary about Diddy last year, finally revealing the project's name and release date last week.Titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, the four-part docuseries is described as a "staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend, and convicted offender." The In da Club rapper is the executive producer of the project, which is directed by Alexandria Stapleton.According to an article on Netflix Tudum, dated November 26, 2025, the docuseries featured "intimate footage, shot with Combs’ knowledge, in the six days leading up to his arrest and indictment." Furthermore, Stapleton added that the footage came to the docuseries' team, stating that they "obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights."However, a spokesperson for the convicted rapper seemingly denied this following the release of the docuseries' new trailer. In a statement to Variety on December 1, 2025, the spokesperson claimed that Netflix "relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release."They also alleged that Netflix used "private footage out of context–including conversations" that Diddy had with his lawyers that were "never intended for public viewing," further adding that the rights to the material were never "transferred to Netflix or any third party."“Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece... Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work," the statement read.It continued:“Netflix is plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs’s life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy. If Netflix cared about truth or about Mr. Combs’s legal rights, it would not be ripping private footage out of context–including conversations with his lawyers that were never intended for public viewing. No rights in that material were ever transferred to Netflix or any third party.”Lauren Conlin @conlin_laurenLINK🚨NEW: STATEMENT FROM SEAN “DIDDY” COMBS SPOKESPERSON ON NETFLIX’S 50 CENT PRODUCTION“Netflix’s so-called ‘documentary’ is a shameful hit piece. Today’s GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release. As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.Netflix is plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs’s life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy. If Netflix cared about truth or about Mr. Combs’s legal rights, it would not be ripping private footage out of context - including conversations with his lawyers that were never intended for public viewing. No rights in that material were ever transferred to Netflix or any third party.It is equally staggering that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson - a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs."Beyond the legal issues, this is a personal breach of trust. Mr. Combs has long respected Ted Sarandos and admired the legacy of Clarence Avant. For Netflix to give his life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades feels like an unnecessary and deeply personal affront. At minimum, he expected fairness from people he respected.” @LAmagThe statement also noted that it was "equally staggering" that Netflix handed over creative control to 50 Cent, describing the rapper as "a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs."Diddy's spokesperson also called this a "personal breach of trust," criticizing Netflix for allegedly causing an "unnecessary and deeply personal affront" by handing over "his life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades."Meanwhile, Diddy's release date has been pushed back to June 4, 2028, amid reports of the rapper allegedly violating prison rules during his incarceration at Fort Dix in New Jersey. He was initially scheduled for release on May 8, 2028, following his sentencing in October 2025.
