Mark Curry Calls Out 50 Cent Over Diddy Documentary: ‘This Was the Worst Deal’

Mark Curry, former Bad Boy Records artist and one of the many participants in the jaw-dropping January 2025 Netflix documentary about Sean “Diddy” Combs, is speaking out about his time working on the project. He’s calling out producer 50 Cent for his bad business moves, which Curry says left him to miss out on credit and potential earnings he was promised.

If you’ll remember, we told you at the time about “Sean Combs: The Reckoning” and the bevy of eye-opening things that were revealed back then, thanks to folks in Diddy’s orbit. Curry was an artist on Diddy’s label back then, so it only made sense that he was involved in this project, and he didn’t hesitate to speak at length about his history with Diddy.

Although participating in the documentary may have seemed like a good idea at the time, now that the dust has settled—and the documentary has earned multiple Emmy nominations and one win—Curry is speaking out about the alleged mistreatment he experienced working on the four-part project. In a nearly 10-minute video on Instagram and YouTube, Curry alleged that he didn’t receive a production credit he was promised for his efforts, adding that he was responsible for bringing the project to life.

“When I first did this documentary, I was supposed to get a production credit. And so that’s why I put the documentary together the way that I did. I gave them a lot of talent…I was the one that put that whole thing together,” he said.

He continued: “I was promised a production credit. And the production credit said that even if the documentary was sold, I would be grandfathered into the deal, because I helped produce that whole documentary. So now, I saw where 50 was like, ‘the proceeds are gonna go towards the victims’; I haven’t seen that yet. I still was waiting patiently, trying to see what this was all about [or] what this was all for. Nothing really ever came about.”

Curry went on to vent his frustration that the project earned an Emmy nomination, lamenting that 50 was receiving the recognition for telling “other people’s stories.”

Describing it as “the worst deal” he ever did, Curry also revealed that he approached the “Power” producer with other ideas and avenues for them to work together but was consistently rejected. He then shared that he felt the documentary caused sales of his memoir about his experience with Diddy and the Bad Boy label to dwindle, making potential customers feel as if the information he included wasn’t as interesting as what he shared onscreen.

“It’s been rough. After the documentary, I thought that there would be a change. And that absolutely didn’t bring not one change,” Curry said. “Everything kind of went backwards…I made $69 off that song [“Come With Me” off Diddy’s 1998 album, which Curry wrote] because they didn’t have a sync license on it. They said that just because I was speaking about it, they didn’t have to get a sync license for it. And that was terrible…None of the things I expected to happen on that documentary came about.”
