Rapper 50 Cent, who has generated controversy, has spoken out over the claims of s3x trafficking and r@pe levelled at record producer Diddy.
This occurs at the same time that Diddy is facing a second round of lawsuits alleging sexual assault, one of which involves a 13-year-old girl who was drugged and raped.
Rapper 50 Cent Spokes Out Regarding Claims of R@pe And Sex Trafficking Involving Diddy
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested last month in Manhattan after a probe into alleged s3x trafficking, and he is accused of drugging and r@ping victims as young as nine.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, 50 Cent spoke about Combs’ alleged behaviour and how he previously mocked Combs online and during concerts.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, said: ‘Look, it seems like I’m doing some extremely outrageous things, but I haven’t. It’s really me just saying what I’ve been saying for ten years.
‘Now it’s becoming more full-facing in the news… I’m like, “Yo, it’s just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff the entire time, because this is not my style”.’
The two rappers have been engaged in a long running feud since the pair first met in the 1990s, but 50 Cent never considered Combs a friend.
In 2006, 50 Cent released his diss track, The Bomb. In it, he accused Diddy of being involved in the 1997 murder of fellow artist Biggie Smalls.
Diddy has been plagued by rumors he knows more about the deaths of both Biggie and Tupac and Diddy was named in the latter’s court papers. He denies any involvement.
Then, in both 2018 and 2024, 50 Cent claimed he’d felt a ‘little uncomfortable’ about the rapper for a long time.
50 Cent has since announced that he will be releasing a docuseries on Netflix that will explore the allegations of sexual assault and violence made against Combs.
A statement read: ‘This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.
‘We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives.
‘While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.’
50 Cent will executive produce through his G-Unit Film & Television banner, while Stapleton executive produces for House of Nonfiction.
Combs is facing allegations of sexual abuse stretching as far back as the 1990s. These include accusations that Diddy drugged a 13-year-old girl in 2000 and a raped a man in 2022.
