50 Cent’s Diddy Doc Director Offers To Team Up With Misa Hylton To Tell Her Own Story

Filmmaker Alex Stapleton, director of 50 Cent’s explosive Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, has now turned her attention to stylist and cultural architect Misa Hylton.

Stapleton has reportedly reached out to Hylton in hopes of teaming up on future projects — including a potential documentary centered on Hylton’s foundational role in the birth and rise of Bad Boy Records.

On Thursday (Dec. 5), Hylton, the mother of Combs’ eldest son, Justin Combs, shared screenshots of Instagram DMs in which Stapleton introduced herself and opened the door to a creative partnership tied to upcoming Netflix-based work.

“Would you happen to have a few minutes to connect tomorrow? I would like to introduce myself and tell you more.” the partially shared message read. Stapleton went on to clarify her intentions, emphasizing that the projects she had in mind revolve around Hylton’s own legacy rather than her proximity to Combs.

“There’s two separate projects but both do involve your own show. My goal is to really lean into all that you contributed to hip hop and Bad Boy. In a quick call, I could explain better.”

Hylton revealed she has already spoken with producer Erick Sermon — who appeared in The Reckoning, where he alleged Combs had once damaged his long-standing friendship with Hylton — about the possibility of working with Stapleton.

Still, she made her boundaries unmistakably clear: “I’m not doing interviews about Sean,” Hylton wrote back, noting she’d take the meeting out of respect for her mutual connection with Sermon.

Her post also featured two pointed biblical references, signaling a renewed sense of agency as she steps forward to reclaim authorship over her story: “God didn’t hand David a crown. He handed him Goliath,” Hylton wrote in the first slide of the post, with the last quoting Isaiah 48:22. “Until they confess all the lies against you to gain favor, they’ll never know PEACE.”

The four-part Netflix documentary, directed by Stapleton and executive-produced by 50 Cent, traces Combs’s ascent through Bad Boy Records, the cultural dominance he achieved across music and media, and the allegations and criminal fallout that ultimately led to his downfall.

The series features interviews with former collaborators, industry insiders, survivors, and figures like Erick Sermon, weaving archival footage with firsthand accounts.

Upon release, it drew significant viewership and sparked widespread conversation for its detailed exploration of power, influence, and accountability within Hip-Hop.
