The View‘s Alyssa Farah Griffin was so impressed with rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s work producing the Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, she recommended he get put on another job: Getting the Jeffrey Epstein files released.
Griffin commended the rapper for uncovering the crimes of former rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in the four-part Netflix documentary, which Jackson executive produced.
The documentary “blew my mind,” Griffin confessed to her co-hosts during Monday’s (Dec. 8) broadcast.
“50 Cent is out here doing the lord’s work,” she said, before adding, “We need to protect him at all costs. I think if we put him on the Epstein files, he would get them all released within days.”
After pointing out that the documentary offers “interesting and compelling, new information” about some of the things Diddy was allegedly involved with, she stated, “I commend [50 Cent’s] courage because the thing you see throughout is how many people knew how terrible [Combs] was, what he was engaging in, but they were afraid to come forth.”
Combs was arrested in 2024 and was accused of running a sex trafficking operation. He was accused of racketeering, two sex-trafficking counts and two counts of transportation for prostitution. Combs was later found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and is currently serving time in federal prison.
Griffin noted that Jackson “put it all out there and let the people decide” how they feel about Combs.
“Even if he didn’t get justice in the court room, he will in the public eye,” she said of Combs.
Sunny Hostin, who attended Combs’ trial and hosted the ABC documentary Diddy on Trial: As It Happened, went on to criticize Combs for involving his children in the case. She said she saw his children in the courtroom while attending his trial and noted that two of his sons were also seen in his hotel room in the documentary in the days leading up to his arrest.
“He failed as a father in many ways. But, in the most important way, in my view, is to protect his children from the disgusting things that were going on in his life,” she said.
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
