Unverified Rumor Sparks Hip-Hop Frenzy: Alleged 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar Collaboration on Drake Documentary

By Music Journalist Alex Rivera December 27, 2025

The hip-hop community is buzzing with an explosive, yet unconfirmed rumor circulating on social media: Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Kendrick Lamar are reportedly in talks to team up on a documentary centered on Drake. If true, this project would unite two of Drake’s most prominent critics, potentially reshaping narratives around one of rap’s biggest stars.

The speculation originated from isolated posts on X (formerly Twitter), including one claiming the duo is “reportedly” collaborating to control the story on Drake, describing it as “bigger than just music.” However, no credible outlets, official statements from the artists, or industry insiders have corroborated the claim as of late December 2025. Searches across major news sources yield no evidence of such a project in development.

50 Cent has been making headlines for his executive-produced Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, a four-part examination of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ rise and fall amid serious allegations. Released earlier this month, the series features interviews, archival footage, and commentary on Combs’ career and legal troubles. Jackson has positioned the project as a platform for victims, though it has drawn criticism for his longstanding feud with Combs.

In contrast, 50 Cent has publicly supported Drake during and after his high-profile 2024 beef with Kendrick Lamar. In interviews, Jackson advised Drake to “keep creating,” stating he “didn’t lose a motherf***ing thing” and praising his material. He even claimed Drake had more diss tracks prepared but chose restraint. This stance aligns with 50’s pattern of commentary on rap feuds, often siding with those he views as resilient winners.

50 Cent Tells Drake He “Didn’t Lose” Kendrick Lamar Beef

Kendrick Lamar, fresh off a widely perceived victory in the Drake feud with tracks like “Not Like Us,” has remained focused on his music and performances. There is no record of recent collaboration or public interaction with 50 Cent beyond past appearances, such as Lamar’s cameo on Power.

Drake, meanwhile, has continued releasing music and navigating the aftermath of the beef, including legal actions against Universal Music Group. Any documentary involving his critics would undoubtedly stir controversy, but without substantiation, the rumor appears to stem from fan speculation and meme culture amplifying old tensions.

Hip-hop has a rich history of documentaries exploring rivalries and legacies, from Beef series to artist-specific films. However, collaborative projects between active feud participants are rare and would mark uncharted territory.

As 2025 draws to a close, this rumor highlights the genre’s ongoing drama and the rapid spread of unverified information online. Fans should approach such claims cautiously until official confirmation
