50 Cent Reignites Epic Feud with Jay-Z Following Blockbuster Diddy Documentary Success

By Entertainment Desk December 24, 2025

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has once again thrust himself into the spotlight, this time escalating his longstanding rivalry with Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter in the aftermath of his highly successful Netflix docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The four-part documentary, which premiered on December 2, 2025, chronicles the rise and dramatic fall of Sean “Diddy” Combs amid serious allegations of sexual misconduct, ultimately leading to his conviction and 50-month prison sentence earlier this year.

The series, executive produced by 50 Cent and directed by Alexandria Stapleton, quickly became a streaming sensation, amassing over 21 million views in its first week and ranking as Netflix’s second-most-watched title. Featuring exclusive footage and interviews, including insights from jurors in Diddy’s trial, the docuseries has reignited conversations about power dynamics in the hip-hop industry.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Slams 50 Cent’s Netflix Documentary as ‘Illegal’

While 50 Cent has long feuded with Diddy—dating back to diss tracks and business rivalries—the rapper’s recent social media activity suggests he’s now turning his sharp tongue toward Jay-Z. Sources close to the situation describe the moves as classic 50 Cent trolling, amplified by the documentary’s buzz.

In early December posts, 50 Cent shared a deepfake video superimposing Jay-Z’s face onto Lionel Richie’s in the classic “You Are” music video, captioning it: “This the message Jay Z sent me when he realized he’s not in the Diddy doc.” The post went viral, sparking speculation that 50 Cent was implying Jay-Z’s relief—or perhaps hinting at deeper connections.

The trolling escalated with an “offensive” caricature of Jay-Z depicted as the old Camel cigarettes mascot, which 50 Cent posted with the ironic caption: “Please stop sending me stuff like this I’m not gonna post it!” The image racked up millions of likes and comments, with fans debating whether 50 Cent is gearing up for a “Jay-Z documentary” next. Although unconfirmed, online rumors and YouTube speculation have fueled talk of 50 Cent exposing more industry figures.

Jay-Z, known for his low-profile approach in recent years, has not publicly responded to the jabs. The billionaire mogul, whose empire spans music, sports (including stakes in the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets), and ventures like Roc Nation, has largely stayed silent amid his own past controversies. Insiders say Hov is focused on business, including plans to revive his iconic 40/40 Club in 2025 with integrated sports betting features.

The roots of the 50 Cent-Jay-Z beef trace back to the late 1990s and early 2000s New York rap scene dominance battle. 50 Cent’s breakout track “How to Rob” humorously threatened to rob peers, including Jay-Z, prompting a sharp response from Hov at Summer Jam. Over the years, subtle disses and competitive shades have persisted, from Super Bowl performance rumors to business clashes.

Fans and critics alike are divided. Some applaud 50 Cent for his unfiltered commentary, viewing him as a truth-teller in an industry often shrouded in secrecy. “50 is the most petty and chaotic, but he’s consistent,” one social media user commented. Others criticize the timing, especially as Diddy’s legal team has slammed the documentary as a “shameful hit piece” using unauthorized footage.

50 Cent has defended the project, insisting it’s not personal vendetta but a necessary spotlight on allegations. Proceeds are reportedly directed toward victims, adding a layer of philanthropy to the controversy.
