Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is sharing more details about his upcoming Netflix docuseries on Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The rapper and businessman is set to produce a documentary on Diddy, which he first announced before his rival was arrested and indicted on racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges.
In a joint statement with director and co-producer Alexandria Stapleton, 50 Cent said the docuseries would have "significant human impact."
"It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far," they said in the statement provided to USA TODAY Thursday. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives."
USA TODAY has reached out to Diddy's rep and Netflix for comment.

The pair called the allegations against Diddy "disturbing" but emphasized the rapper's actions do not reflect hip-hop as a whole.
"Sean Combs's story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture," they said. "We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture's broader contributions."
A release date has yet to be announced.
In July, 50 Cent opened up about skipping the label head's infamous parties.

"Puff is a businessperson; when (people call him) a producer, I see people that were taken advantage of, who produced things that he took from them," 50 Cent told The Hollywood Reporter. "He got the credit. He's not a producer. He's been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it."
He continued: "I don't have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn't take to hanging out with that."
The "Power" creator has long been a critic of Diddy in their decades-long feud, and his attacks have ramped up amid the Revolt founder's legal troubles.

After the producer was indicted in sex trafficking and racketeering charges, 50 Cent poked fun at the headline-grabbing detail that the Bad Boy Records founder allegedly had 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubrication seized from his home by federal agents.
"Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house," he captioned a photo on set of "The Drew Barrymore Show."
50 Cent's ex Daphne Joy accused him of sexual assault, rapper sued
In May, 50 Cent sued his ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy Narvaez for defamation after she accused him of rape and physical abuse.
Narvaez made the allegations following the rapper's comments on her being named in a civil lawsuit by producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones Jr. against Diddy.
In a March Instagram post, which has since been deleted, Narvaez blasted her ex-boyfriend for his alleged sexual abuse of her, as well as his lack of involvement in their son Sire's life. She also criticized the "Candy Shop" emcee for "wreaking real havoc, frenzy, and chaos onto people's lives" after he seemingly made light of Jones' allegation about Joy being among the women "who were paid a monthly fee to work" as Diddy's "sex workers" in an Instagram post that has also been deleted.
50 Cent hit back, claiming Narvaez "retaliated" against him for seeking sole custody of their child by "immediately taking to the Internet and publishing multiple defamatory statements on her public Instagram account." The rapper dropped his suit earlier this month, according to the Los Angeles Times.
