(CNN) — On the eve of Netflix releasing a highly anticipated docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs — produced by his longtime foe Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson — the embattled mogul’s lawyers have sent a cease-and-desist letter to the streaming giant, demanding it not release “Sean Combs: The Reckoning.”

In a statement provided to CNN, a spokesperson for Combs also accused Netflix of using “stolen footage that was never authorized for release” in what they called a “shameful hit piece.”

The footage that Combs’ representative is referring to is shown in for the project, which was released on Monday morning.
