Diddy Reportedly Plans $1 Billion Legal Battle With Netflix Over 50 Cent’s Docuseries

It has been a little more than a week since Sean Combs: The Reckoning arrived on Netflix. Reports now claim that the music mogul is already preparing a response. Media Take Out states exclusively that Diddy and his relatives are allegedly putting together a large defamation lawsuit directed at the streaming service because of the 50 Cent produced docuseries.

“One purpose of this documentary was to destroy his reputation. This is not journalism, it is entertainment,” one insider claims. The report says Diddy has brought on one of the most influential law firms in the country and that he intends to pursue at least one billion dollars in damages. The source also claims that the requested amount may increase if Netflix does not retract specific allegations.

This new development is not unexpected. Diddy’s team has already spoken clearly about how they feel regarding the project.

“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,” they stated in comments shared with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. “As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been gathering footage since he was nineteen in order to tell his own story in his own voice. It is completely unfair and unlawful for Netflix to take that material and use it without permission.”

“It is just as astonishing that Netflix turned over creative authority to Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, a longtime rival with a personal motive who has devoted far too many years to speaking poorly about Mr. Combs,” Diddy’s representatives continued. “Putting the legal concerns aside, this is also a violation of personal trust. Mr. Combs has held deep respect for Ted Sarandos and has admired the legacy of Clarence Avant, the father in law of Sarandos who has passed away.”

“For Netflix to hand his life story to someone who has openly criticized him for so long feels unnecessary and deeply personal,” they finished. “At the very least, he believed he would be treated fairly by people he admired.”

Guns N’ Roses have officially begun their 2026 tour and treated fans to the first ever live performances of Nothin’ and Atlas. You can find videos and the full setlist from the night below.

The concert took place at Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Mexico on Saturday March 28 and marked the opening night of the band’s 2026 tour schedule. It follows a busy stretch of concerts last year, which concluded in October.

This tour also marks their first since drummer Frank Ferrer exited the group in 2025 after close to two decades. Just a day before the show, keyboard player Melissa Reese also shared that she would not be joining the upcoming dates due to personal matters.

Like many of their concerts, the band began the night with major fan favourites including Welcome To The Jungle and Mr Brownstone, later adding classics such as Paradise City, Don’t Cry, Civil War, November Rain, and their take on Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door as the show continued.

Along with their well known version of the Bob Dylan song, Axl Rose and the rest of the band also performed several other covers during the night. These included Black Sabbath’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Wings’ Live And Let Die, Velvet Revolver’s Slither, The Damned’s New Rose, and UK Subs’ Down On The Farm.

The Monterrey performance also included the first live performances of their newer songs Nothin’ and Atlas, which were originally released in December. See the full setlist and clips from the show below.

After the Mexico show, Slash and the rest of the band will continue the tour in April with nine major concerts scheduled across Brazil. In May, they will head to Florida for two performances before moving on to a European run across June and July. That leg begins with two dates in Poland, followed by a performance in Dublin and an already confirmed appearance at the UK’s Download Festival.

Additional stops include concerts in the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Belgium, before they return to North America for another round of shows. Those dates begin in North Carolina on July 23 and conclude in Georgia on September 19. Buy US tickets here, European tickets here, and see the full list of dates below.
