Rapper 50 Cent and singer Jason Derulo recently engaged in a social media spat over comments Derulo made supporting the idea that people should be presumed innocent until proven guilty, specifically in relation to Sean “Diddy” Combs and his ongoing legal issues. This tiff began when Derulo told TMZ that he believed in the presumption of innocence, sparking a sharp response from 50 Cent on Instagram, where he urged Derulo to “shut the f— up” and joked about finding him on compromising tapes allegedly held by Combs.
This exchange between 50 Cent and Derulo likely stemmed from the ongoing legal troubles that Combs is facing, including numerous allegations and lawsuits related to sexual assault. Producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones has accused Combs of possessing compromising footage from parties he hosted, which the rapper has denied through his lawyers. Derulo’s comments supporting the presumption of innocence seemed to have struck a nerve with 50 Cent, leading to their heated exchange on social media.
Derulo responded to 50 Cent’s Instagram post with an edited video featuring himself punching a person with 50 Cent’s face superimposed, indicating that he wasn’t backing down from the confrontation. While clarifying that he does not personally know Combs, Derulo maintained his stance that everyone should be considered innocent until proven guilty, regardless of the allegations against them.
This social media feud between 50 Cent and Derulo is just the latest in a series of interactions related to Combs’ legal troubles. 50 Cent and his ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy, have publicly traded accusations on social media, with Joy being named in a lawsuit as an alleged “sex worker” for Combs. Joy denied the allegations, calling them false, but 50 Cent trolled her on social media, leading to a public dispute between the two.
The ongoing feud between 50 Cent and Combs dates back many years, with 50 Cent making various accusations against him, including tying him to the deaths of Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. Additionally, 50 Cent has speculated about Combs’ sexuality and produced a documentary focused on Combs’ sexual assault allegations, with proceeds going to support victims of sexual assault. The recent raids on Combs’ homes have added fuel to their feud, with 50 Cent continuing to share news stories and memes about the embattled rapper on his social media platforms.
Combs has faced multiple lawsuits alleging sexual assault, including one from singer Cassie, which was settled for an undisclosed amount in November. Despite the legal challenges, Combs has maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing. The ongoing drama involving Combs, 50 Cent, Derulo, and others in the music industry continues to play out on social media, keeping fans and followers engaged in the unfolding saga.
