Recently, he turned his attention to Sean “Diddy” Combs, seizing on the legal troubles swirling around the music mogul.
The drama intensified after a series of raids on Diddy’s properties revealed shocking evidence, which included thousands of bottles of baby oil and personal lubricant, as well as other items that allegedly supported ongoing accusations of s3xual misconduct and abuse. The raids, along with various accusations, including those from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, have sparked a significant amount of attention in both the media and the hip-hop world.
In a classic 50 Cent move, the rapper took to Instagram to mock Diddy, posting a photo of himself with Drew Barrymore, adding a caption about keeping “good company” and jesting that he doesn’t have “1,000 bottles of lube” at his house. This playful jab was part of a larger narrative where 50 has continuously critiqued and mocked Diddy throughout the unfolding scandal.
The scandal took a serious turn when surveillance footage surfaced, showing Diddy physically assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016. In this footage, Diddy is seen chasing her down a hallway, throwing her to the ground, and kicking her. This violent altercation has only intensified the already concerning accusations surrounding Diddy’s behavior. Cassie’s civil lawsuit, filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, alleged a pattern of abuse and violence during their relationship. Diddy, for his part, denied the allegations, but settled the lawsuit shortly after it was filed.
However, the lawsuit and the revelations from the raids paint a disturbing picture of a man who, behind the scenes, allegedly engaged in criminal activities, including human trafficking, s3xual assault, and even the distribution of narcotics at what were termed “freak offs”—multi-day s3x parties organized by Diddy. These parties reportedly involved multiple commercial s3x workers and a variety of illicit drugs, such as ketamine and ecstasy, which were allegedly used to keep participants compliant. The indictment also alleges that Diddy documented these events by recording them electronically.
What makes this case even more sensational is the suggestion that Diddy may have long been shielded from legal consequences due to his status as a federal informant. Rumors have circulated for years that Diddy cooperated with federal authorities, and recent reports suggest that these allegations may hold water. According to sources close to the investigation, Diddy’s cooperation with law enforcement may have allowed him to avoid scrutiny for his illegal activities for decades.
50 Cent, never one to shy away from controversy, has regularly chimed in on these developments. He’s poked fun at Diddy’s public statements, mocked his attempts at damage control, and suggested that the music mogul’s public apologies won’t do much to repair his reputation. In one particularly biting comment, 50 wrote on social media, “The lie detector test has determined this was a lie,” referencing Diddy’s denials.
As Diddy’s legal battles continue, many are left wondering how deep the rabbit hole goes. The indictment has opened a Pandora’s box of accusations and allegations, stretching back decades. Whether Diddy will be able to escape the consequences this time remains to be seen, but with mounting evidence and public pressure, it’s clear that his reputation may never fully recover. What began as rumors in the shadows has now exploded into a full-blown legal and public relations nightmare for one of hip-hop’s most iconic figures.
