In one of the pettiest side quests ever, the polarizing rapper teased the buzzy docuseries for months while trolling Diddy during his trial before announcing the official release on Instagram last month.

“They said I was capping, what happened? GLG GreenLightGang 🎥 G-Unit Film & T @50centaction,” wrote the rapper in the caption aimed at critics who thought the project wouldn’t happen.

For years, Jackson and Combs have traded shade during their long-running feud, rooted in Jackson’s longtime critiques of the Bad Boy founder’s business practices.

As you can see in 50’s now-viral interview with Good Morning America, the hitmaking rapper-turned-savvy mogul relished the opportunity to be the one behind Diddy’s ‘reckoning.’

“If I didn’t say anything, you would interpret it as Hip-Hop is fine with his behaviors,” said Jackson in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts.

“There’s no one else being vocal. So, you would look at it and just say … ‘mind your business,’ or ‘lemme not say nothin’ about nothin’,’ or those things that would allow an entire culture to register as if they’re for that behavior.”
