Dec. 1, 2025, 5:36 PM ESTBy Chloe MelasRapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who executive-produced an upcoming Netflix documentary about Sean “Diddy Combs, addressed his ongoing feud with the hip-hop mogul and the secret footage he obtained of Combs filmed days before his arrest in 2024. Jackson has been working on the documentary, titled “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” with director Alexandria Stapleton for over a year. The series includes never-before-seen footage of Combs, filmed in early September 2024, discussing his legal troubles. Jackson declined to say how he got the footage. Watch the interview with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson tonight on Top Story on NBC News Now. In it, Combs appears to be in a hotel room. “We have to find somebody that’ll work with us. That has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business,” he says. “We’re losing,” he continues.Six days after the footage was filmed, Combs was arrested by federal agents at a New York City hotel and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for purposes of prostitution. In July, a jury acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking, but convicted him on two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. In October, he was sentenced to 50 months in prison. In a statement to NBC News, Combs’ publicist said the footage was never authorized for release and includes private moments and “conversations involving legal strategy” from an unfinished project.”The footage was created for an entirely different purpose, under an arrangement that was never completed, and no rights were ever transferred to Netflix,” Juda Engelmayer said. “A payment dispute between outside parties does not create permission for Netflix to use unlicensed, private material. None of this footage came from Mr. Combs or his team, and its inclusion raises serious questions about how it was obtained and why Netflix chose to use it.”Engelmayer accused Jackson of trying to exploit the footage for entertainment and said Netflix’s use of it is “reckless disregard, not journalism.” Combs’ legal team sent Netflix a cease-and-desist letter on Monday. Netflix said it legally obtained the footage and has the necessary rights for it, directing NBC News to a statement from Stapleton.“We moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker’s identity confidential. One thing about Sean Combs is that he’s always filming himself, and it’s been an obsession throughout the decades,” the director said. “We also reached out to Sean Combs’ legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but did not hear back.”Jackson, who has publicly feuded with Combs over the years, told NBC News last week in an interview why he wanted to executive-produce the documentary.”If I didn’t say anything, you could assume that all of hip hop culture is comfortable with his actions or what they’re depicting them as, the person he is, because no one said anything,” he said. When asked about the decades-long tension with the hip-hop mogul, Jackson said there is no “beef” between them. “Let’s stop for a second and do say that I hated him enough to hire his kids, and we’ve never done anything to each other, so it’s just competitive energy and things that you say about other artists while you’re in hip hop culture,” he explained. Quincy Brown, Combs’ eldest son, appeared in “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” and Justin Combs was cast in “Power Book II: Ghost” — TV shows produced by Jackson.”Sean Combs: The Reckoning” debuts on Netflix on Tuesday.

Oct. 8, 2025, 5:08 AM EDT / Updated Oct. 8, 2025, 5:26 AM EDTBy Freddie ClaytonPresident Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner will join Gaza ceasefire talks in Egypt on Wednesday, as Hamas said the two sides had taken an initial step toward a key point of the U.S. plan to end the devastating war. The arrival of the U.S. delegation, as well as the leader of mediator Qatar, comes after a second day of indirect talks as Israel and Palestinians mourned the two-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks and the brutal conflict that has followed. Hamas released a statement Wednesday saying that a list of Palestinian prisoners who would be released under a deal had been provided to Israel. “The mediators are making great efforts to remove any obstacles to implementing the ceasefire, and a spirit of optimism prevails among all,” the militant group said. The release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza and of 1,950 Palestinian prisoners are key parts of Trump’s 20-peace proposal.Israel has not yet commented on the Hamas statement.Top Hamas leader Khalil Al-Hayya said Tuesday that the group had come “to engage in serious and responsible negotiations.”Hamas was ready to reach a deal, but needed a “guarantee” to end the war and ensure “it is not repeated,” he told Egyptian state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV.Israel has pressed ahead with an aerial and ground assault on Gaza City amid the talks.Anadolu via Getty ImagesAn Israeli army soldier at the October 7 attacks memorial at the Nova Festival grounds in southern Israel on Tuesday.John Wessels / AFP via Getty ImagesIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not comment on the status of the talks, but told Israelis Tuesday they were in “fateful days of decision.”Trump expressed optimism about the talks, telling reporters in Washington there was “a possibility that we could have peace in the Middle East.”Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani is also set to join the talks, which are taking place in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.Qatar wants international guarantees, led by the U.S., that what is negotiated in Egypt will lead to Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza, the entry of more aid, and a permanent end to the war, foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari told Saudi Arabian news channel al-Hadath on Tuesday. Israel has continued its assault on Gaza while the talks have been taking place. Its military campaign has killed more than 67,000 people, reducing much of the enclave to rubble following the October 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken to Gaza as hostages.There were somber gatherings across Israel on Tuesday to mark the attacks, including in the country’s south where families and friends paid respects to the more than 370 victims killed at the Nova music festival.Palestinians, meanwhile, reflected on two years of brutal conflict and their hopes for an end to the devastation.Alaa Abu Daraz.NBC NewsAlaa Abu Daraz and her children left their home in eastern Gaza on October 7, and two years later they are yet to return, living on the streets as they seek safety.“Our children are left in the streets, with no tent, no shelter, not even a blanket,” she told NBC News this week. “We managed through the summer and survived the heat, but the winter is unbearable; one cannot live or do anything in these conditions.”Israel has faced mounting global isolation over its assault. A new aid flotilla bound for Gaza that included a number of Americans was intercepted by the Israeli army Wednesday, days after the detention of activists on board a high-profile flotilla fueled international outrage.Eight U.S. citizens were “likely abducted” by Israeli forces while on international waters, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said Wednesday.Freddie ClaytonFreddie Clayton is a freelance journalist based in London.
