Former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry is calling out 50 Cent over his involvement in Netflix's Sean Combs: The Reckoning , claiming he never received a promised production credit and earned just $69 connected to music discussed in the documentary.
Curry aired his grievances on social media shortly after the docuseries won a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Picture Editing. According to Curry, his role extended beyond just appearing on camera, claiming that he helped recruit several people featured in the series and was promised a production credit for his contributions.
Curry who documented his experiences with Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Bad Boy Records in his 2009 book Dancing With the Devil said the missing credit was particularly frustrating because it could have helped him secure future production opportunities.
He also claims he received only $69 in royalties connected to 'Come With Me,' the 1998 Diddy and Jimmy Page song Curry helped write. Curry says he expected a synchronization license connected to the documentary but was told one wasn't required because he discussed the record rather than having the song used in a way requiring one. His account of the licensing arrangement has not been independently verified.
Curry went so far as to describe the arrangement as worse than deals he experienced with Diddy.
50 Cent has since responded, but not with a detailed explanation of the business dispute. The rapper mocked Curry on Instagram by asking for his Cash App information. Curry responded by stressing that his complaint is about business and professional credit.
Curry has since shared a partially redacted 2024 agreement that he says supports parts of his account. Neither Netflix nor 50 Cent has publicly addressed the specifics of Curry's contractual allegations.
