One of Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs’ adversaries, 50 Cent, explained what set off alarm bells for him.
As Diddy continues to be ensnared in sexual assault allegations, his former friend speaks out. Diddy is facing a multitude of lawsuits, which accuse him of, among other things, rape and, from the very beginning, 50 Cent has been vocal about his support for the victims and distaste for Diddy.
However, the pair’s fractured relationship split far before the accusations surfaced. Instead, 50 Cent hasn’t spent time around him in years. He told The Hollywood Reporter: “He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest s–t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman and I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f—king with this weird energy or weird s–t,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”

Additionally, 50 clarified that he wasn’t buds with Diddy, but rather just associates who worked on songs like Victory 2004 and I Get Money together. From his point of view, he “wouldn’t call it a friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other”.
Even in his roughest times, 50 avoided Diddy, no matter the financial benefit that might have come. When Jennifer Lopez told Diddy to hit up 50 Cent, the call came in and 50 declined it. At the time, according to 50, his baby mother was not happy with the choice. “What the f–k? We ned money,” he recalled her saying. “What? Why don’t you want to talk to him?”

But 50 Cent was determined to keep his distance, something he’s held true on until today. Now, he’s working on a documentary about his industry peer in conjunction with Netflix.
Diddy “vehemently” denies the allegations against him. However, he did apologize after a video of himself beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway emerged.
Diddy said: “When someone watches that, if they have a daughter and they can imagine her being under those circumstances, that s–t is crazy. Like, they let him get away with it. With all the influence and power you have, the person you’re with is supposed to want to be a part of your life, not be forced.”
