Mark Curry fires back.

Mark Curry has a word for his critics after detailing how he was cut out of a production credit from Sean Combs: The Reckoning, the 50 Cent-executive-produced documentary for Netflix that won an Emmy for Outstanding Picture Editing for a Nonfiction Program. 

Unfortunately, his grievances weren’t necessarily met with public sympathy. Many accused him of not reading his contract properly, but he fired back. However, he explained that he 

 “When you look at that contract, and you read it and then, you tell me what you ain’t reading right,” Curry said. “I don’t need no handout. I don’t need no money from 50 Cent.”

Mark Curry said that he put together over 40% of the documentary and hoped that the work they did together could lead to more opportunities for him. “The only thing I wanted was a production credit, because with that credit I could get into any film house and… help me do other things,” he said. 

Mark Curry's Response

Ultimately, he didn’t want anything but for their agreement to be upheld. However, he did feel as though he was owed a favor since he never received his production credit. That favor, he said, would be by helping him with another documentary idea he has. “If you don’t want to do the documentary, then introduce me to someone who can help me do the documentary,” he said, adding that he doesn’t have any real issues with 50. 

After Curry’s initial rant over the weekend, 50 Cent practically dismissed him. “Yo chill…what’s your Cash App, $Diddytouchedyourbutt..” Curry directly responded to Fif in his latest video, especially because he felt it was out of pocket to poke fun at the alleged victims of Diddy’s crimes.
