50 Cent Says Latest Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Criticism Is ‘Just Saying What I’ve Been Saying For 10 Years’

It’s an understatement to say that there’s no love lost between 50 Cent and Sean “Diddy” Combs. The two hip-hip moguls have been trading jabs in public for nearly 20 years, but lately 50 has appeared to ramp up the rhetoric in response to the avalanche of legal action against Combs. Over the weekend, the disgraced hip-hop mogul was hit with another six civil abuse lawsuits, adding to the half dozen similar cases filed last week, all alleging that the Bad Boy Records boss sexually and physically abused the anonymous victims; Combs has previously denied the allegations.

In an interview with People, 50 (born Curtis Jackson), discussed his feelings about Diddy’s actions before the 54-year-old mogul was arrested in Manhattan on Sept. 17 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, charges Combs has plead not guilty to.

“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 10 years,” 50 said of his jabs at Combs over the past few months as more details have emerged about Diddy’s alleged sex-and-drug-fueled “fFreak Off” parties.

“Now it’s becoming more full-facing in the news with the Puffy stuff, but away from that, 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.’” 50 has said several times in recent months that he did not attend any freak offs, confirming in September that he’s prepping a documentary about Diddy’s alleged history of sexual abuse is coming to Netflix.

The untitled work will reportedly focus on claims about Combs’ alleged history of sexual assault and abuse, which investigators allege stretches back decades. “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 and director Alexandria Stapleton said in a joint statement. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives.”

Last month, 50 said in a podcast interview that he “didn’t participate” in Combs’ freak offs. “I also didn’t go to those parties. So a lot of the celebrity culture that you don’t hear saying anything is because they participated to a degree,” 50 said, adding, “I’m just not with all that freaky sh–. Like, all of the stuff he’s doing, I’m not into that type of stuff. I’m just a little more, maybe you could say, basic or normal.” 50 has said more than once this year that he’s practicing celibacy in order to focus on his business.

50, who has made a habit of trolling Diddy on X, originally announced plans for a doc about his rival in December, following a shocking lawsuit filed by Combs’ ex, singer Cassie, who settled with the Bad Boy founder one day after filing papers alleging more than a decade of physical and sexual abuse, including rape; Combs denied Cassie’s claims and the two both issued statement acknowledging the settlement without discussing its terms.

In September, 50 posted the latest in a long series of posts trolling Combs, uploading a picture of himself with Drew Barrymore, writing, “Here I am keeping good company with @DreBarrymoreTV and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house,” 50 wrote, in seeming reference to what authorities said was the copious stash of baby oil and personal lubricant found at Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles during a federal raid in March.

Though Diddy’s reps have not commented on the latest civil suits, in a previous statement about the first six legal actions put forward by attorneys Tony Buzbee and Andrew Van Arsdale, they said that Combs “never sexually assaulted anyone” and that he has full confidence “in the facts, their legal defenses and the integrity of the judicial process.”

Combs, 54, is the subject of a dozen additional lawsuit alleging sexual and physical assault and rape, some dating back to the early 1990s. A judge has denied bail for Combs twice, which means the rapper/producer could stay locked up until his trail begins in May.
