Never-before-seen footage of Diddy in the days leading up to his arrest has surfaced ahead of 50 Cent and Netflix’s docuseries on the disgraced mogul.
Additional never-before-seen footage from the four-part docuseries was also broadcast by Good Morning America, including a clip of Diddy greeting fans in his native Harlem shortly before he was indicted. While being driven away, the Bad Boy boss says to his entourage:
“I need some hand sanitizer! I’ve been down the streets amongst the people. The amount of people that I’m coming into contact with, that’s what I have to do [laughs]. It’s like a 150 hugs!”
Sharing his reaction to the clip with Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts, 50 Cent said: “That shows you his character … That’s one of the moments where he forgot he was on tape.”
The G-Unit general, who executive produced Sean Combs: The Reckoning, also rejected the notion that the docuseries was distorted by his long-running rivalry with Diddy. 50, who has relentlessly trolled Diddy since he was first sued by ex-girlfriend Cassie two years ago, also got in a few more jabs on Puffy during the interview. When asked how he thinks the incarcerated mogul would react to the documentary, he answered with a smirk: “I think he’s gonna say, ‘This is the best documentary I’ve seen in a long time.’ He knows it’s the truth.”
Directed by Alexandria Stapleton, Sean Combs: The Reckoning is “a staggering examination of the media mogul, music legend and convicted offender” that “tells the story of a powerful, enterprising man and the gilded empire he built — and the underworld that lay just beneath its surface.”
