Diddy's team responds to 50 Cent claiming rapper sent him strange gift from prison

After 50 Cent shared the bizarre gift he claimed Sean 'Diddy' Combs sent him from prison as a 'warning', the jailed rapper's team have responded.

Fiddy, real name Curtis Jackson, is an executive producer on a controversial new Netflix documentary on Diddy titled Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which dropped last week.

Jackson has had a long running disagreement with the 'I'll Be Missing You' performer which stretches back to the 2000s, long before the allegations about Combs first came to light.

Diddy is currently serving a four-year sentence for transportation to engage in prostitution.

Unsurprisingly, his team are less than happy that Netflix gave a man who they claim has a 'personal vendetta' against Diddy the creative license to make a documentary about his life.

In the latest bizarre twist, 50 Cent claimed on his social media recently that he'd received an early Christmas gift from Diddy in the wake of the documentary's release, writing on his Instagram: "What kinda g*y s**t is this Diddy send me flowers at club 11 LOL.

"Why all the four play get busy, you know I’m stupid."

He later added: "A warning, I’m 90s grimy. … you don’t warn me. LOL."

While receiving flowers from someone you've made a scathing documentary about might seem more than a little intimidating, Diddy's team are insisting he didn't send them.

When asked by Complex about the gift, they said it 'didn't happen', adding: "Perhaps someone played a joke in poor taste."

They had far more to say about the documentary itself

Diddy's spokesperson Juda Engelmayer said: "Netflix's so-called 'documentary' is a shameful hit piece. Today's GMA teaser confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorised for release.

"As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.

"It is equally staggering that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson - a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs."

The statement also suggested that it was a 'personal breach of trust' between Mr Combs and Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos.

"For Netflix to give his life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades feels like an unnecessary and deeply personal affront. At minimum, he expected fairness from people he respected," the statement added.

The streaming giant has since hit back, saying: "The claims being made about Sean Combs: The Reckoning are false.

"The project has no ties to any past conversations between Sean Combs and Netflix. The footage of Combs leading up to his indictment and arrest were legally obtained."

"This is not a hit piece or an act of retribution. Curtis Jackson is an executive producer but does not have creative control. No one was paid to participate."

Sean Combs: The Reckoning is available to watch on Netflix now.
