Mark Curry called out 50 Cent this weekend.

50 Cent doesn’t seem to care about Mark Curry’s grievances after the release of the Diddy documentary they were involved in. The rapper and mogul served as the executive producer of Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which earned him Emmy nominations. However, Curry said that the contract he signed wasn’t necessarily favorable and explained how he was allegedly screwed over.

In response, 50 Cent shared the video to his Instagram page, writing, “Yo chill…what’s your Cash App, $Diddytouchedyourbutt..”

Among Curry’s grievances was that he was told he would receive production credits while his book, Dancing With The Devil, allegedly played a key role in the research and in helping recruit talent.

“I was the one who put that thing together. I was promised a production credit, and the production credit said that even if the documentary was sold, I would be grandfathered into the deal because I helped produce that whole documentary,” he explained. “I saw where 50 [Cent] was like, ‘The proceeds would go towards the victims.’ I haven’t seen that yet.”

Mark Curry's Deal

He went on to describe the deal he signed for the documentary as being worse than anything he inked for Bad Boy. 

He allegedly only made $69 from the use of “Come With Me,” which was discussed at length in the documentary. “Had I had sync license on it, which I thought we would have in place, then I would’ve made some money off of this Godzilla song, ‘Come With Me.’ Man, I made $69 off of that song because they didn’t have a sync license,” he said.

Curry said that this could’ve turned into a life-changing opportunity that would’ve helped him with other ventures. “The production credit would have enabled me to open other doors to work on other endeavors I’ve been working on,” Curry said.
