Christian and Justin Combs, sons of imprisoned rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, announced that they will launch their own documentary series in which they will share their side of the events, after their hip hop rival, Curtin “50 Cent” Jackson, premiered a docuseries on Netflix about Combs that he criticized from prison.
Key data
Justin Combs, 31, and Christian “King” Combs, 27, shared a trailer for the upcoming docuseries Sunday night, which will premiere on an unspecified date in 2026 on the Zeus Network.
The trailer shows the brothers sitting on a couch watching images and news clips from their father’s criminal trial, promising to highlight “our voice,” as well as “family, enemies, joy, pain” and “the lies.”
The trailer ends with a phone call with an automated voice from the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, where Combs is an inmate serving a 50-month sentence for convictions on two federal prostitution charges.
It’s unclear if Combs was involved in the production of the documentary or if the series will include phone calls with the imprisoned rapper (Forbes has reached out to Combs’ representatives for comment).
Lemuel Plummer, CEO of Zeus Network, said on Instagram that the documentary “is not intended to endorse, defend or vindicate Diddy,” but is “focused on giving Justin and Christian the opportunity to share their personal story and lived experiences.”

Key context
The Combs brothers announced the documentary weeks after the premiere of “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” a four-part docuseries produced by Jackson, which premiered on Netflix. The series was a ratings success, recording almost 22 million minutes watched in its first six days of release. The documentary showed previously unseen footage of Combs in the days before his arrest, including scenes of him speaking with his attorneys.
The images were commissioned by Combs himself for a documentary about his life, and his team threatened Netflix with legal action for the use of those images. Combs spokesperson Juda Engelmayer previously told Forbes that the use of those images commissioned by Combs is “fundamentally unfair and illegal,” although Netflix responded that the images were obtained legally, assuring that the documentary “is not an attack.”
The docuseries also included interviews with two jurors from Combs’ criminal trial, as well as Kirk Burrowes, co-founder of Bad Boy Records, who alleged that Combs had abused him in “sexually deviant ways,” and Capricorn Clark, Combs’ former assistant who accused him of kidnapping her in 2011.
Surprising fact
Both Justin and Christian Combs have been accused of sexual abuse in lawsuits that also named their father as a defendant, although all three have denied all allegations against them. In April 2024, plaintiff Grace O’Marcaigh sued Christian and Sean Combs in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that Christian raped her in December 2022 while working on a yacht that Sean Combs had chartered.
The lawsuit accused Christian of sexual assault, sexual harassment and causing emotional distress, while Sean Combs was sued for premises liability and for allegedly aiding and abetting his son. In June, Sean and Justin Combs were sued for allegedly luring a Louisiana woman to Los Angeles, where they and two other men allegedly subjected her to a “brutal gang rape.”
