Famous American rapper and businessman 50 Cent has reacted with characteristic sarcasm after his name was unexpectedly dragged into the ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial of fellow hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Diddy, who was arrested in 2024, is currently facing serious charges in New York, with the case now in its third week. The high-profile trial has gripped global attention, not only for its disturbing nature but also for the steady stream of A-list celebrity names that have emerged in the bombshell courtroom testimonies.
One of the most intense revelations came from Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s former girlfriend, who delivered graphic testimony detailing 11 years of alleged physical and psychological abuse spanning from 2007 to 2018.
Adding fuel to the fire, Diddy’s former assistant, Capricorn Clark, testified on Tuesday, May 27, and opened up about internal conversations she overheard during her time working with the embattled music mogul. In her statement, Clark told the court that Diddy had a list of celebrity “enemies,” and among them was none other than 50 Cent, his long-standing rival in the industry.
Clark recounted an instance where Diddy, in a discussion with an executive, referenced 50 Cent while making a disturbing statement:
“I don’t like the back and forth, I don’t like that. I like guns.”
The chilling remark quickly ignited reactions across social media, with fans speculating about the severity of Diddy’s alleged intentions. But 50 Cent, known for his no-holds-barred online persona, responded with humor and mockery.
Taking to Instagram, the Power producer posted:
“Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low, I think I’m gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL”
His post, though laced with humor, underscored the shocking nature of the trial’s developments. Interestingly, this comes after Diddy had repeatedly denied having any feud with 50 Cent in past interviews, a narrative now contradicted by testimonies in court.
As the trial continues to unfold, more layers are being peeled back, with observers wondering just how deep the scandal goes and who else might be named before it’s over.
