Diddy has been in the news recently surrounding the release of the new documentary on his life, Sean Combs: The Reckoning.

The documentary has garnered reactions from a lot of people and recently, Cam'ron gave his own thoughts on the documentary.

While sharing his thoughts, Cam'ron questioned Lil Rod's motive behind living with Diddy while producing his album, stating:

"There's a producer named Rod, who produced the "Love" album. Ah, for Puff, the last album that he did a couple years ago. And it was a big story... But Puff had him living with for two years and producing that particular "Love" album. And this guy Rod, he's traumatised and he's like he's scared of Puff a little bit. So on and so forth."

Cam'ron continued:

"But he just wanted to really do music and he knew this could be his opportunity to being rich... make sure he's kid's got money. To where he even didn't get paid for any of it. So he says. He say he was being drugged. While he was there, many times he fell asleep and then he didn't know what was going on."

Cam'ron questioned Lil Rod:

"And he'd wake up and it'd be delirious, he says. Couple of particular nights, he said he was drugged and when he woke up, he woke up sore. The f**k you mean you woke up sore, bro. You woke up sore and you stuck around? So you wanna be a star star.... the f**k you mean you woke up sore and you stayed. And now you telling ni**s about how you was drugged and and woke up sore. "

For context, Lil Rod is mentioned in episode 4 of the documentary. Lil Rod sued Diddy for sex**al assault in 2024, which he also talked about in the documentary, including being forced to watch gay porn, finding himself drugged and sore and sometimes finding Combs waking up beside him. Lil Rod has also claimed that he has not yet received the $29,000 that he is owed for making the album with the convicted rapper.

Parts of the charges he brought against Diddy were dismissed by Judge J. Paul Oetken in March 2025, with the assault, TVPA and liability claims standing. Lil Rod was being represented by Tyrone Blackburn in the matter.


Diddy's ex videographer claims footage was obtained without permission

In a recent twist on the matter of how the footage was obtained for use in the documentary, whose legality has been disputed by representatives of Diddy, ex videographer Michael Oberlies came out to share that the footage was obtained without permission in a statement to Rolling Stone:

For over two years, we have been working on a project profiling Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The footage in question was not released by me or anyone authorized to handle Sean Combs’ materials; it was by a third party who covered for me for three days while I was out of state."

The statement further read:

"This incident had nothing to do with any fee dispute or contract issue. The actions of the parties involved reflect the lack of integrity every storyteller should uphold. Taking footage intended for our project to advance a narrative that was not our own is both unethical and unacceptable."

Contrary to this, Netflix, as well as the director of the documentary, Alexandria Stapleton and 50 Cent, have all stuck to their claims that all footage used in the documentary was obtained legally.
