Radio host and TV presenter Charlamagne tha God is calling out actor-comedian Marlon Wayans for taking shots at 50 Cent for his latest Diddy documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which is currently streaming on Netflix.

On the December 9 episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne stated:

“How come nobody ever says anything when it’s White producers? Like TMZ did docs on Diddy, there were docs on Hulu, Peacock, how come they weren’t kicking that person? Why do we only say that when it’s a Black producer?
He continued, “Especially when you know 50 and Diddy got a personal issue. So, there’s no reason for 50 to have any type of loyalty to Diddy in any way, shape, or form.”

Charlamagne also took a jab that when others created documentaries on Diddy’s criminal life, they were dubbed “investigative reporting.” However, when the G-Unit boss did it, there was suddenly a backlash.

The radio host also claimed that 50 Cent’s documentary did nothing more than “tell a story,” based on “Diddy’s actions.” So, that, according to Charlamagne tha God, is “not kicking him when he’s down.”

He concluded by saying that Curtis Jackson is not the only executive producer on the documentary, so people like Marlon Wayans targeting him alone made zero sense.


Exploring the online back-and-forth between Marlon Wayans and 50 Cent

The ongoing feud between 50 Cent and Marlon Wayans began when the latter went on The Cruz Show recently and claimed that the Diddy documentary was a result of a contentious past between the two hip-hop artists.

“50 and Puff have a long-term beef. It’s personal. It’s between him and Puff. And before it’s between him and Puff, it’s between both of them and God. Just the way Puff is down on his luck and 50 is kicking a mman when he’s down,” Marlon stated.

However, he added:

“If luck turns on 50, you know that you got to be careful what you put out. There’s a karma to every action that you do.”

In response, Fifty took to Instagram and wrote, “Keep my name out of your mouth, boy.” It was accompanied by Marlon Wayans’ drag persona from White Chicks. However, the post has now been edited with a new caption. It reads:

“Diddy got this fool trying to get at me, LOL. No AI that’s ya vibe, boy. Keep my name out of ya mouth! @50centaction.”

It now has two shirtless images of the comedian wearing colorful hat, holding an umbrella, and surrounded by billiards balls.

The joke, combined with the subtle warning, did not sit well with Wayans. He counterstruck with a digitally-altered image of 50 Cent’s face on the poster of the 2013 movie Twelve Years a Slave.

“Now let us think about this 50,” Marlon Wayans wrote.

The Power of the Dollar rapper hit back with an old clip of Marlon Wayans, where he said he never frequented “those types of parties,” when asked about the Diddy freak-offs. However, Fifty’s post later showed an alleged tweet from the comedian that went against his later claim.

“Been doin’ Diddy parties for 15 years and I must say you never let me down, Puff. Ain 't no party like a Diddy party. Good times, people!” the alleged tweet read.

50 Cent’s AI-generated video also showed Marlon Wayans waking up and finding himself n*ked, insinuating that he might have lied about his association with Sean Combs.

Fifty wrote in his caption:

“I’m #1 in 49 countries. I want all the smoke, punk! @50centaction.”

The Scary Movie alum didn’t wait to further push back against the NYC rapper. He shared a fabricated picture of 50 Cent and Diddy inside a jacuzzi. It was captioned:

“Just for the record… Bro… let’s correct the narratives, Curtis. Rub a dub dub. STOP.”

In two follow-up posts, Marlon Wayans showed AI images of a jacked-up and bare-bodied Fifty and a video of the latter speaking about Diddy. He mockingly asked Curtis where he got “all that baby oil from?” and also called him a liar.

Another video showed Marlon Wayans sitting on a cart parked on the beach and smoking his Liga Tridente cigars and exclaiming, “Zero f**ks, good day!” It was a dig at 50 Cent and his past domestic violence allegations.

“Just enjoying my life and my @ligatridente cigars, calm before the storm. For the record, I don’t condone any abuse of women, period. Unlike some people who have a track record of domestic violence. I got 5 sisters and a mother I honor. I rep US ALWAYS. Don’t let anyone create narratives … Marlon Lamont Wayans is an exceptional man. Good day, Curtis,” the caption reads.

Amid the back-and-forth, it is noteworthy that 50 Cent previously claimed that the Netflix documentary was his effort to defend the hip-hop culture and show the world that not everyone is “okay with what is going on,” referring to the Diddy trial.

“Because other rappers will say, I am not going to say anything. I am going to mind my business because of the position that Diddy held in culture for so long. So that would leave me. Without me saying that I will do it, there is nobody there,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Ja Rule has also threatened to sue Fifty after the latter reposted a video of Diddy’s ex-bodyguard Gene Deal, recently claiming in an interview that he allegedly witnessed Ja and Combs exiting a hotel during a police raid.

According to Rule, 50 Cent’s repost was a “blatant lie,” bordering on “SLANDER and DEFAMATION.” Notably, he previously called the G-Unit founder a “cancer” to the culture, demanded that the profits from the documentary go to Diddy’s victims, dug up Curtis’ abuse allegations, and called him a “dry snitch,” among other things.
