Christian Combs, the son of rapper and record mogul Diddy, released a diss track aimed at 50 Cent in response to ongoing mockery by the rapper. The track references Diddy’s legal troubles, including an alleged sex trafficking investigation and sexual assault allegations. Christian taunts 50 Cent and questions his impact on the music industry, while also alluding to his father staying out of the spotlight amidst the controversies. The song also mentions Homeland Security raids on Diddy’s properties in Miami and Los Angeles, suggesting that 50 Cent should be investigated as well.
In response to the diss track, 50 Cent posted a series of mocking messages on Instagram, joking about feeling threatened by Christian’s lyrics. He also referenced Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis, who alleged that Diddy had offered him money to kill Tupac Shakur. 50 Cent shared clips from films and videos that appeared to mock Christian and his father, as well as referencing sexual assault allegations made against Christian by Grace O’Marcaigh. O’Marcaigh alleges that Christian tried to kiss and grope her after giving her a spiked drink, and includes audio recordings of her rejecting his advances.
The lawsuit filed by O’Marcaigh against Christian and Diddy has been denied by their lawyer, Aaron Dyer, who stated that the claims were fabricated and part of a pattern of behavior designed to garner media attention and pressure settlements. Dyer also criticized the lawyer handling the case, Tyrone Blackburn, for his approach to filing lawsuits. Following the arrests of King and Justin Combs during raids on their father’s homes, they have hired attorney Jeffrey Lichtman to push back against what they claim was excessive force used during the arrest.
50 Cent continued to mock Christian in response to the lawsuit, pointing out a line in the diss track where Christian mentioned a property adjacent to the ones raided by Homeland Security agents. The rapper questioned the wisdom of mentioning this detail given the ongoing federal investigation. He also shared headlines of news stories about the diss track and his responses, suggesting that he did not understand why someone would drug women if they cannot remember the experience. The back-and-forth between Christian, Diddy, and 50 Cent appears to be escalating, with each party using social media to air their grievances and mock the other.
