50 Cent’s documentary detailing Sean “Diddy” Combs’ abuse case is officially in the works at Netflix.

On Wednesday, Sept. 25, a rep for the “In Da Club” rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, 49, confirmed the news to PEOPLE.

“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” Jackson (for G-Unit Film & Television) and director Alexandria Stapleton (for House of Nonfiction) said in a statement to PEOPLE.

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’s story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions,” the statement continued.

Netflix commissioned the project earlier this year, and a premiere date has yet to be determined, a rep for the streamer tells PEOPLE.

In May, Deadline reported that Jackson announced the streaming service won “the bidding war” to produce the documentary.

Jackson has never shied away from expressing his disapproval of Combs, 54. In his Hollywood Reporter cover story published on July 31, 50 Cent opened up about why he never attended the Diddy parties at the center of an ongoing federal investigation.

"I’ve been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing s--- like that,” Jackson said, referring to Combs’ old moniker. “I’ve been staying out of that s--- for years. It’s just an uncomfortable energy connected to it.”

The Power television producer also explained a past experience that he said made him feel uncomfortable.

“He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest s--- in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman,” Jackson continued. “And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f---ing with this weird energy or weird s---,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”

On Wednesday, 50 Cent, who has regularly trolled Diddy via social media over his sex-trafficking allegations, posted another jab at the Bad Boy founder online.

“Coming soon! LOL,” Jackson captioned a Sept. 25 tweet with a photo of “Diddy Oil” — presumably referring to the “1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” confiscated during raids of Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes in March.

Prosecutors have said authorities considered the items to be "freak off supplies."

Combs, who was arrested at a Manhattan hotel a day before his indictment was unsealed on Sept. 17, has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution for the "freak offs" — lengthy sex parties allegedly held by the mogul.

He is currently being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center after being denied bail twice as he awaits trial. Combs is due back in court in early October.
