EMMYS: 50 Cent's 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning' Claims 3 Nominations
The four-part series also drew nominations for directing and editing as Combs continues to appeal his 50-month prison sentence.
Netflix's four-part docuseries 'Sean Combs: The Reckoning,' executive produced by Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson and directed by Alex Stapleton, earned three Emmy nominations for outstanding documentary series, directing, and picture editing.
Following a two-month trial in Manhattan federal court, Sean Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and sentenced to just over four years in prison.
The Bad Boy Records founder is held at New Jersey's FCI Fort Dix with a projected release date of Feb. 28, 2028, though his legal team is appealing the conviction using a First Amendment argument.
Combs' legal team issued two cease-and-desist letters to Netflix, blasting the docuseries as a 'hit piece' using 'stolen footage' recorded before his federal indictment.
On Wednesday, 50 Cent wrote on Instagram that 'you can't argue with the work,' insisting the documentary was not motivated by 'beef' but rather to examine a man he called an 'idiot.
