Rapper 50 Cent has taken to social media to mock Sean “Diddy” Combs following the federal raids on Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes as part of a sex trafficking investigation. 50 Cent has posted memes and jokes aimed at Combs, and has even dragged rapper Jay-Z into the drama. The tensions between the two rappers date back to a diss track 50 Cent released in 2006 in which he accused Combs of knowing who shot the Notorious B.I.G. Since then, 50 Cent has made various accusations against Combs, including insinuations about his involvement in the murder of Tupac Shakur.
In addition to the recent raids, Combs has been facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits since November, including allegations from singer Cassie that he raped her in 2018. Despite the lawsuits, Combs has consistently denied all allegations. 50 Cent has not held back in his criticism of Combs, making comments about his sexuality and even trolling him over their competing vodka brands. In December, 50 Cent announced that his production company would be producing a documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Combs, with proceeds going to victims of sexual assault.
Combs’ lawyer has condemned the federal raids on his client’s homes, accusing the agents of exhibiting “excessive show of force and hostility.” The lawyer clarified that Combs was not detained during the raids and criticized the actions as contributing to a rush to judgment against the rapper. Despite the legal challenges facing him, Combs has continued to deny all allegations made against him. 50 Cent’s ongoing mockery of Combs on social media has reignited their decades-long beef, which has featured everything from diss tracks to personal insults and now includes allegations related to the recent raids and sexual assault lawsuits. The tension between the two rappers shows no signs of dissipating, as they continue to spar in the public eye.
