DISGRACED Sean “Diddy” Combs has been captured uttering a now-telling warning in newly leaked footage taken just days before his arrest.
Behind-the-scenes clips of the 56-year-old rapper are set to air in a four-part Netflix documentary produced by the music mogul’s bitter rival.
Combs hired a videographer to capture what would be his final days of freedom before he was cuffed, Good Morning America reported.
Now, that footage has dubiously ended up in the hands of a documentary team run by 50 Cent, who’s been embroiled in a years-long feud with Combs.
In a raw moment revealed in a teaser trailer, Combs was seen anxiously awaiting his indictment as he stayed at the Park Hyatt hotel in New York City.
He appears to be chatting with someone about legal strategy as he says, “We have to find somebody that’ll work with us, that has dealt in the dirtiest or dirty business.”
The visibly upset rapper then makes an ominous admission, saying, “Listen to me, I’m [gonna] get off the phone right now, and I am gonna let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution.
“No matter what nobody said. Here and there, y’all are not working together the right way.
“We’re losing,” he said.
The mega producer would go on to be arrested on September 16 and be convicted nearly a year later on two counts of transportation of prostitution.
He’s now serving out a 50-month sentence in a low-security prison in New Jersey.
Diddy’s fall from grace is set to be examined in the upcoming Netflix series Sean Combs: The Reckoning, directed by Alexandria Stapleton and produced by 50 Cent.
In an interview with Good Morning America, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, said he was shocked that Combs actually filmed the raw moments.
At one point during the documentary, Combs returned to Harlem, where he was born and raised, to meet with fans.
After shaking hands and hugging the locals, he got back into his car and asked for hand sanitizer.
“It shows you his character,” said 50 Cent.
Combs pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied ever sexually assaulting anyone as he battled a mountain of civil cases.
In a statement released Monday, Combs’ spokesperson Juda Engelmayer said the rapper’s legal team was “deeply concerned” about Netflix using the footage.
They described the videos as “private moments, pre-indictment material from an unfinished project, and conversations involving legal strategy.”
“None of this was obtained from Sean Combs or his team, and its inclusion raises very serious questions about how this material was accessed and why Netflix chose to use it,” read the statement provided to The U.S. Sun.
“As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way.
