Rapper 50 Cent is seeking sole custody of his son with ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy amidst her alleged involvement in a sex trafficking lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. 50 Cent and Joy dated between 2011 and 2012 and share a son named Sire, who is now 12 years old. Joy was named in a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney Jones against Diddy, in which she was accused of being one of the alleged sex workers that Diddy employed.
Jones claimed in his lawsuit that Diddy boasted about having multiple women on a monthly stipend, including Joy and two others. 50 Cent, who was previously unaware of Joy’s alleged history with Diddy, made comments on Instagram insinuating his surprise at the situation. Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie previously accused him of sexual assault and abuse, which he denied and the two settled the following day. Multiple other individuals, including Jones, have come forward with similar stories against Diddy, which he has also denied.
Diddy’s lawyer Shawn Holley has dismissed Jones as a liar seeking money and attention through his $30 million lawsuit. Additionally, Homeland Security raided two of Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami in connection to a federal sex trafficking investigation. Diddy was not present during the raid and has not been arrested or charged. Diddy’s attorney Aaron Dyer criticized the authorities for their excessive use of force during the raid and the treatment of Diddy’s children and employees.
50 Cent has revealed that he is working on a documentary about Diddy’s scandal that he believes will “break records.” The rapper has also made moves to seek sole custody of his son with Joy following her involvement in the lawsuit against Diddy. If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking, the National Human Trafficking Hotline is available for assistance at 1-888-373-7888. Joy has not publicly addressed the claims made against her in the lawsuit. Diddy has continued to deny all allegations brought against him and has vowed to address them in court.
