Social media was buzzing on Monday, March 25 with thoughts and comments about P. Diddy being on the run after authorities raided his properties over sex trafficking allegations. So naturally, 50 Cent threw his own two cents in on the matter and of course, it was of the comedic kind—at Diddy’s expense.
The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ rapper took to Instagram to lowkey clown Diddy over the raid and posted a picture of Diddy’s sons in handcuffs outside of the property with a caption that read “S–t just got real the Fed’s in all the cribs, damn they got the kids in cuffs. ”
In a second post Fiddy spoke on how bad things might be for Diddy now that police were carrying out these search warrants saying “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done they don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
Page Six reports:
The “Candy Shop” rapper — born Curtis Jackson — also shared a video by a social media user that dubbed Diddy as “too freaky for society,” captioning it, “ran off and left the kids in the whole shit, yo he doing the race said f–k it!”
For years, 50 has remained an ongoing critic of Diddy, calling the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer out on social media whenever the opportunity presented itself and going as far as joking about his sexuality.
His latest criticism comes just hours after Homeland Security raided Sean’s homes in California and Florida.
The posts have since been taken down.
50 isn’t wrong about at least one thing, though, allegedly. The alphabet boys wouldn’t go to these lengths to get Diddy unless they had solid proof that a crime was committed whether that be through evidence or witnesses. With Diddy nowhere to be found at the moment, things might only get worse as more information is bound to leak out and the possibility of more people coming forward with what they know grows by the day.
Looks like Diddy done did it this time and 50 Cent is here for all of it.

Brother Love’s name continued to get dragged for filth. The “No Diddy” trend continues to gain popularity and 50 Cent has hopped on the bandwagon.
HipHopDX is reporting that the new way to nullify any statements that could be interpreted as a homosexual act (Ed. Note: Not that there’s anything wrong with that if that’s your preference.) is catching on. Last week the term “No Diddy” was informally introduced during a recent interview with DJ Akademiks and Quilly on the Off The Record podcast. “I put him in position, no Diddy” the rapper said. While the two discussed a variety of topics it was that quip that quickly went viral. A post on X, formerly known as Twitter, by user BNYX quickly gained traction and eventually landed on 50 Cent’s radar.
On Saturday, March 23 the “Candy Shop” rapper took to Instagram to tease the mogul. “Oh, I fvck wit son that’s my man No Diddy. I’ll Boom you right Now! Fvck outta here! LOL” he wrote. The trend was also discussed on the It Is What It Is show when MA$E asked Cam’ron and Treasure “Stat Baby” Wilson about it. “How did y’all feel about the weekend? They changed the term for ‘pause’” he said. Killa responded and revealed he had heard about the new phrase prior but was reluctant to bring it up as he didn’t want MA$E to feel it was direct shot at him given his storied tenure at Bad Boy Entertainment.
“I was wondering how you felt about that,” Cam’ron said. “You know why, ’cause I knew that last week and I was like, ‘I’m not gon’ be first.’ I said, ‘This is really a Betha call. ’Cause I didn’t want you to think I was coming at you, pause, no type of way. If I said it first, I didn’t want you to think I was trying to offend you. I ain’t trying to be funny but that’s what’s going on out there. How do you feel about it?” The “Feels So Good” MC responded asking if the new term sounds as catchy as the original to which Killa said yes.

It was officially Dre Day in Hollywood. The iconic superproducer was immortalized with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
Spotted on TMZ, Dr. Dre has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week, and the three artists whose careers he was instrumental in shaping—Eminem, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg—were on hand to celebrate the occasion.
On Tuesday, the producer/rapper/actor’s star was placed in the cement along with other actors and musicians during the ceremony.
Other notable names in attendance were Kurupt, his Beats partner Jimmy Iovine, and legendary radio personality Big Boy.
In a post on Instagram, Dr. Dre thanked his brothers for showing up and showing love, writing in the caption:
“I’d like to thank my brothers and all of Los Angeles for showing me love on March 19th to get my Hollywood Star.”
Dr. Dre Opens Up About His Health Issues
Dre getting his Walk of Fame honor comes after he opened up about his major health scare, revealing he suffered three strokes and a brain aneurysm during a recent interview with James Corden on SirusXM’s The Life of Mine With James Corden.
Per HHW’s previous reporting:
“I got up and I went on about my day, and I thought that I could just lay down and take a nap,” he explained. “My son had a female friend that was there and was like, ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital.’ So they took me to urgent care.”
Dr. Dre went on to detail how he suffered three strokes and nearly lost his life.
“Next thing you know, I’m blacking out. I’m in and out of consciousness, and I ended up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing the doctors coming in and saying, ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’”
When asked what caused his dire medical condition he pointed to high blood pressure.
“I had no idea that I had high blood pressure or anything like that because I’m on my health sh*t. I’m lifting weights, I’m running, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy.” He went on to make it clear he has a new perspective on life saying it, “definitely makes you appreciate being alive, that’s for sure.”
Salute to Dr. Dre.

This new crop of sneakerheads may not know it, but the Jay-Z and G-Unit Reebok sneakers were big back in the early 2000s. It looks like we might get to see them hit shelves again if Shaq and A.I. have anything to say about it.
In a recent episode of Sneaker Shopping With Complex, the President and VP of Reebok’s basketball division, Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson gave us older Hip-Hop heads a ray of hope when they suggested they’d be willing to retro Jay-Z’s “S. Dot” silhouettes and 50 Cent’s “G-Unit” sneakers. After Joe La Puma brought up the topic of Jay-Z pulling out a pair of S. Dot’s for his outfit at the Super Bowl a few weeks ago, Shaquille chimed in saying, “We know Jay-Z. Jay-Z if you watchin’ we wanna holla at cha. ” To which Iverson added, “That’s right,” suggesting that a business offer for a retro of the classic S. Dot’s might be on the table.
Looking to make another retro possibly happen, La Puma then asked if it was possible that the “G-Unit” sneakers could also see a return to shelves with Shaq saying, “Of course, so 50, when I call you, holla, Jay-Z, we’ll be calling ya. We definitely want to give the fans and the consumer what they want, but we’re also gonna be coming with new styles and new technologies. But, shout out to Jay-Z, shout out to 50 Cent. We definitely will be having a conversation with them very soon.”
Real talk, this needs to happen.
As to whether or not Jay and 50 would be willing to have Reebok retro their classic sneakers remains to be seen, but if they do, don’t be surprised if everyone you see rocking the S. Dot’s or G-Unit sneakers are over the age of 30 and 40. Just sayin’.
Check out Shaq and A.I. talk about the S. Dot’s and G-Unit sneakers below around the 7-minute mark, and let us know if you’d cop any of those kicks in the comments section.

A radio host is suing 50 Cent for a wild moment where he tossed a microphone into the audience that struck her in the face during one of his concert tour dates.
According to reports, 50 Cent has been hit with a lawsuit by a radio host who claims that a faulty microphone thrown off stage by the rapper struck her, citing that she had “severe and permanent injuries”. The lawsuit was brought by Bryhana Monegain, a radio host with Power 106 in Los Angeles, California. Monegain says that the “Get Free or Die Tryin’” rapper was performing at Crypto.com Arena during his “Final Lap Tour” on August 23, 2023, and had difficulties with his microphone. He threw it into the crowd, and she claimed it struck her in the forehead and wrist.
In the legal documents of the suit filed with the court, Monegain described being transported from the arena to a nearby hospital where she was treated for a forehead laceration, concussion, and pain in her left wrist. Video footage from the concert shows 50 Cent tossing the microphone off stage but it doesn’t precisely capture where it lands. Photos of Monegain show the alleged bruising from the incident, with her head wrapped in gauze. The radio DJ is suing for past and future wages lost, a repayment of her medical expenses, and her attorney fees. She had filed criminal charges against the 48-year-old mogul, but he was cleared of those last November.
“Let’s be very clear, as I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone,” said Scott Leemon, 50 Cent’s attorney at the time. “Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.”
The case is currently still open under the supervision of the L.A. City Attorney’s office for a year from the date of the incident, and can be re-visited if there is contact between those two. 50 Cent has not offered any comment.

50 Cent is undertaking something new for 2024 – celibacy, according to a recent social media post.
For most of his career, 50 Cent has always boldly approached everything he sought to achieve. In a new social media post, however, he might have taken it to another level by declaring that he was “practicing abstinence” as part of his preparation for success. The mogul made the statement in an Instagram post showing him seated while dressed in a finely tailored suit, smoking a cigar on Monday (January 8).
“My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted,” the caption began. “I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level.” He ended it with a plug for his cognac and champagne brands, mentioning their handles on the platform. The “Get Rich or Die Trying” rapper’s declaration got him immediate support in the comments of the post, with many praising him for setting such a positive example to being the year. Brooklyn rapper Scar Lip expressed her support, writing, “Word(s) of encouragement love it !!”. Veteran television reporter and journalist Lisa Evers also applauded the sentiment, writing: “Executive mode, mogul moves, positive vibes only!”
2024 looks to be a thoroughly busy year ahead for 50 Cent. The executive producer behind the Power television series has been romantically involved with fitness trainer Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines since 2019, keeping their relationship private outside of some playful interactions on social media and appearances at events. He’s currently working on a series inspired by Eminem’s biopic 8 Mile and has begun to also work on a new series for Starz, the boxing drama Fightland set in Britain. 50 Cent just opened up a film and television studio complex in Louisiana. And in line with his proclivity for trolling with a purpose, he’s also reportedly working on a documentary focusing on the alleged victims of sexual abuse by Diddy in the wake of that mogul’s recent troubles.

It is clear Uncle Murda is showing no mercy with his recent year end recap. 50 Cent seems to be approve on how he addressed the allegations against Diddy.
The Brooklyn,native has released the second part to “Rap Up 2023.” and In the song he speaks on multiple topics that took pop culture by storm last year. Included in the six-minute long track were some very scathing bars targeting the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul. “He was controlling her, had her on some scared s**t / Paying other n***as to f**k her while he watch that’s some weird s**t,” he rapped. “I’m like, did he do it? Did he drug her? Did he r*** her? / If you ain’t do the s**t, Diddy why did you pay her?”
Uncle Murda went on to further double down on him saying “You was an icon, n***a, you ruined it / Diddy documentary coming out, 50 Cent shooting it / I think it’s called did he not, or did he do the sh*t.” The G-Unit CEO reposted the track seemingly cosigning the controversial effort with a caption that read “2023 Rap up @unclemurda went crazy 😆😆😆😆”. The post was accompanied by a video that featured various clips of Diddy throughout the years including some shots of he and ex girlfriend Cassie.
Uncle Murda also went in on emerging talent Sexyy Red and her infamous viral moment. “Sexyy Red made a sex tape and I saw it / I think she got pregnant while she was getting recorded / And I heard she said she got chlamydia twice, that bi*** ratchet, let me try to give that girl some advice,” he said.

50 Cent really made his mark on cable TV with the success of his Starz series, Power, and the spinoff shows that followed. Now the rapper from Queens is looking to continue to churn out new projects courtesy of his new film and TV studios in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Fiddy took to Instagram Wednesday (Dec. 13), to showcase his brand spanking new G-Unit Film & TV Inc. studios down in the South just after the Shreveport City Council gave him approval to takeover the gigantic space in Louisiana, according to KSLA12. Posting a few pics of his new working space, 50 wrote in the caption, “All Roads lead to Shreveport if you ready to work in 🎥film and television. G-unit studios Is officially in Louisiana. 💣BOOM💨 GLG🚦GREENLIGHTGANG.”
Now that he’s the new landlord for the premises, he’ll have to pay an annual rate of $2,400 for the next 30 years after which he can renew it for another 15 years if he so pleases. In other words, 50’s going to be in the film game for a while. So get ready ’cause that man is all about his hustle.
According to KSLA12, the city’s Mayor Tom Arceneaux couldn’t be more excited with the new venture saying, “We enjoyed for a period after 2005, we enjoyed a very robust television and film industry in the Shreveport area. This will bring back I think a lot of those people and will rejuvenate that industry in our area. So I think the film industry is about to blossom again in Shreveport.”
It’s going to be cinematically lit down South.

50 Cent is making a documentary on the recent lawsuits against Diddy—and will donate proceeds of the film to sexual assault victims.
As news of a fourth lawsuit filed against Diddy for alleged sexual assault has the public buzzing, 50 Cent is on the offensive by announcing the production of a documentary about the embattled music mogul. On Wednesday (December 6), the rapper shared a clip of former Bad Boy Records artist Mark Curry on camera alleging how Diddy aka Sean Combs would spike bottles of Moet champagne and serve them specifically to women who attended his parties.
When contacted by Entertainment Tonight, a representative for 50 Cent aka Curtis Jackson and G-Unit Film and TV confirmed that the documentary was in production. “I can confirm that the untitled ‘Diddy’ documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson serving as Executive Producer, proceeds from this documentary that G-Unit Film & Television receives will go to victims of sexual assault and rape,” the representative said in a statement.
50 Cent has been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misdeeds for quite some time, from trolling the “Can I Live” rapper about allegedly being behind the murder of Tupac Shakur to offering to buy the Revolt TV network after the mogul stepped down in the wake of the sexual abuse lawsuit against him by his former flame, Cassie Ventura. But the clip posted on Instagram also contained a veiled shot at Rick Ross, seen through a clip of Diddy with Ross at an event that was interspersed with Ross’s infamous lyrics from his “U.O.E.N.O.” track with Rocko from 2013: “Put Molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it/I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.”
The latest lawsuit against Diddy alleges that he and others including Bad Boy Records exec Harve Pierre participated in a “gang rape” of the victim, who was 17, in 2003. On Wednesday, Diddy posted a statement to his own Instagram account. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he wrote. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me (be) absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
