On Friday, 50 Cent responded to a video of rival Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel in 2016. The rapper expressed skepticism, stating that Combs is innocent and his lawyers would argue that the video proves nothing. In the video, Combs can be seen throwing Ventura to the ground, kicking her, and dragging her across the floor. The incident occurred at a hotel in Los Angeles and the video supported some of the abuse allegations Ventura made against Combs in her lawsuit.
Ventura’s lawsuit against Combs included accusations of physical abuse, rape, and more. The altercation in the hotel reportedly began after Combs became intoxicated and punched Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye. Combs allegedly followed Ventura into the hotel hallway, yelled at her, and threw glass vases at her as she tried to escape to the elevator. Ventura eventually managed to escape, and Combs reportedly paid the hotel for the security footage of the incident.
50 Cent, who has been critical of Combs in the past, commented on the lawsuit when it was filed, calling Combs out for his behavior. After news of the settlement between Combs and Ventura emerged, 50 Cent warned that more women would come forward with allegations of abuse against Combs. The rapper suggested that Combs paid the settlement quickly to avoid more allegations coming to light. In addition, he expressed surprise and criticism when his ex, Daphne Joy, was falsely named as one of Combs’ supposed sex workers.
Following the false allegation against Joy, 50 Cent revealed his intention to file for full custody of their son, Sire. Joy denied being involved in any illicit activities with Combs, describing the accusation as a form of character assassination. Throughout the unfolding drama, 50 Cent remained vocal on social media, commenting on the various developments in the case. Details of the lawsuit, the settlement, and the allegations made against Combs continued to be a topic of discussion and scrutiny for both fans and critics of the individuals involved.
