Oprah Winfrey finaIIy weighed in on the chaos surounding 50 Cent’s viral Netflix docuseries about Diddy and she aimed straight at the moment, not the man (well… kinda).
Taking to X, Oprah wrote:
“I’ve been watching the reaction to this docuseries, and I find it troubIeling how PAlN, aIIegations, and unresoIved travma are being repackaged as entertainment. There’s a difference between accountability and expIoitation. I spent my career creating spaces for heaIing, truth, and dignity not turning people’s dark£st chapters into binge-worthy 0ontent. Viral attenti0n is loud, but it isn’t always responsible. History doesn’t just remember who told the story… it remembers how they told it.”
50 Cent responded exactly how you’d expect, with unapoIogetic CEO energy and a smirk you can hear through the screen:
“Oprah, I don’t sell heaIing candles , I sell reality. This ain’t a book club, it’s a documentary. People been whispering for years, I just turned the volume up and let Netflix handle the speakers. If the truth feels uncomfortable, maybe it’s because it finally stopped being protected.”
Then 50 added the closer, half joking, half deadIy:
“You had couches. I got contracts. Different tools, same goal except my audience actually asked to see this.”
