Social media users flooded the comments with mixed reactions. While some applauded 50 Cent, others criticised him. Some predicted lawsuits and that it would be as underwhelming as another highly anticipated docuseries, Beauty and the Bester.

Here are some of the comments:

@mbali_ndlela remarked:

“50 Cent is the embodiment of ‘My hate is a long-term investment.’”

@takeitlow65 predicted:

“Sounds and looks like a future legal settlement. Kicking the man while he is down ain't cool either. No defence here of wrongdoings if Sean Combs is guilty of certain things, but why the need to air alleged affairs or speculation? IMO”

@LincolnLumbe remarked:

“Making money off someone you are beefing with must be a nice feeling.”

@chibabababa4 said:

“I already know it’s gonna be underwhelming. Gonna leave us with more questions than answers, and it’s gonna be answering the wrong questions. Remember Beauty and the Bester? Bookmark this.”
