50 Cent Fuels Speculation of Explosive Jay-Z Documentary, But No Official Confirmation Yet

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, fresh off the massive success of his Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, has hip-hop fans in a frenzy with social media posts and liked comments hinting that Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) could be his next target. Viral gossip circulating on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram claims 50 Cent is preparing a “savage” documentary exposing alleged “ruthless manipulation,” “secret control over the industry,” and “silenced rivals” involving Jay-Z and his wife, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. However, as of today, no credible news outlets or official announcements confirm that such a project is in development.

The rumors exploded after 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary premiered on Netflix on December 2, 2025, quickly becoming one of the streamer’s most-watched titles, racking up over 21 million views in its first week and dominating charts in dozens of countries. The four-part series, directed by Alexandria Stapleton, detailed decades of allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs, culminating in his 2025 conviction on prostitution-related charges. 50 Cent, an executive producer, has long trolled Diddy publicly, turning their rivalry into box-office (or streaming) gold.

19 Surprising New Reveals From Sean Combs: The Reckoning Doc

Poster for Netflix’s “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” the Diddy docuseries that has fueled 50 Cent’s recent online antics.

In the wake of the doc’s success, 50 Cent has revived his decades-old beef with Jay-Z. The two New York rap titans have clashed since the late 1990s, starting with 50’s satirical track “How to Rob” and escalating through competitive disses, business rivalries, and alleged attempts to block each other’s opportunities (including rumors Jay-Z tried to keep 50 off the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show).

Recent Instagram activity from 50 Cent includes posting offensive caricatures of Jay-Z and liking fan comments asking, “Jay-Z is next, isn’t he?” He has also dismissed threats from old foes like Ja Rule, joking that his “momentum” has them uniting against him. Some YouTube gossip channels and unverified social media posts have amplified claims of a forthcoming “Carter” exposé, alleging it would dwarf the Diddy series by uncovering “hidden dirt” on the power couple’s empire, including Roc Nation’s influence and long-buried industry scandals.

Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson Signs Non-Exclusive Broadcast Deal With Fox

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has built a second career as a producer and master troll.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé, often dubbed “The Carters,” have maintained a relatively low profile amid the speculation. Jay-Z has not directly addressed 50 Cent’s posts, consistent with his recent strategy of silence on public feuds. Representatives for the couple did not respond to requests for comment. Beyoncé, who rarely engages in online drama, has focused on her music and business ventures, including her blockbuster Renaissance World Tour and ongoing beauty and spirits lines.

The speculation has divided fans. The “BeyHive” remains fiercely protective, dismissing the rumors as baseless jealousy from 50 Cent, while others point to resurfaced allegations (such as singer Jaguar Wright’s claims linking the Carters to Diddy’s circle) as potential fodder. Old rivalries, like 50 Cent’s G-Unit vs. Roc-A-Fella clashes, add fuel, but mainstream sources like GQ, Variety, and HotNewHipHop describe 50’s actions as classic trolling rather than evidence of an active project.

Columbia University Launches Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter Lecture …

Jay-Z (Shawn Carter) has stayed silent on the latest round of shots from 50 Cent.

If 50 Cent does pursue a Jay-Z-focused doc, it would fit his pattern of monetizing beef—his G-Unit Film & Television has produced hits like the Power universe. Netflix has not commented on any follow-up projects. For now, the “ultimate nuke” appears to be social media smoke, not a confirmed bombshell.

As one insider told us off-record: “50 loves the chaos. He drops hints, watches the internet explode, and laughs all the way to the bank.” Whether this escalates into another reckoning remains to be seen. The BeyHive is on high alert, but legacies like Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s have weathered storms before.
