50 Cent is now suing his ex, Daphne Joy claiming that she defamed him with comments made in a post on social media.
According to reports, 50 Cent has filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy. In the documents of the filing, the rapper and entertainment mogul said that Joy “falsely and publicly” accused him of “rape and physical abuse” during their relationship. 50 Cent also claims that she made a “purposeful attempt to, on information and belief, destroy his personal and business reputation, harm Jackson’s commercial and business interests, negatively affect his custody case, and prevent him from seeing his minor son.”
50 Cent and Daphne Joy were together from 2011 to 2013, and their son Sire is now 12. The 48-year-old rapper referred to Daphne Joy’s Instagram post on March 28, where she scolded 50 Cent over his joking about her being mentioned in a lawsuit against Diddy as a “sex worker” and said, “Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me.” 50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, said the post has attained over 22,000 likes and threatened to harm his reputation and business. “The Defamatory Post contains false and malicious statements of fact that expose Jackson to hatred, contempt, or aversion, or induce an evil or unsavory opinion of Jackson, in the minds of the public,” the court documents continue, referring to the post’s intent to ”impact the custody case”. 50 Cent is also seeking monetary damages of $1 million.
He also attached a letter that was previously sent on April 2 to Daphne Joy, whose last name is Narvaez, demanding she remove the post. He claims that in response, her lawyers submitted a request from Daphne Joy for millions of dollars in addition to dropping his petition for sole custody of their son, Sire. The documents call the move “clearly extortive.”. Neither party has responded to press inquiries about the lawsuit.

Looks like Fat Joe and 50 Cent have a bromance going on that wasn’t even fathomable in 2005 as the two former foes-turned-homies continue to enjoy each other’s company at some high-profile sporting events.
Their latest boys night out came at the “Mecca” of basketball, Madison Square Garden. This past Monday (May 6), Joe and 50 took in Game 1 of the Knicks playoff game against the Indiana Pacers alongside some other high-profile celebrities such as Tracy Morgan, Mekai Curtis and others. Gleefully celebrating another Knicks comeback victory, Fat Joe and 50 Cent were seen celebrating on the sidelines as their hometown team continued to defy expectations and collect W’s in the NBA’s elimination tournament.
We have to say we love how far these two have come since their bitter feud back in the mid-2000s. From dropping diss records to publicly taking shots at each other during awards shows, it seemed like these two men were bound to put hands on each other at some point.
Heck, even Tony Yayo said that G-Unit’s realest beef in the street was with Fat Joe’s Terror Squad as Yayo was kicking it with Fat Joe’s righthand man, Pistol Pete. That’s saying something.
Fast forward a few years and Fat Joe and 50 Cent were able to bury the hatchet at a tribute performance for Chris Lighty (RIP) at the BET Hip Hop Awards in 2012. Though they didn’t immediately begin hanging out following the end of the feud, as of late the two men have been spotted rolling together at a few events and even performing at concerts together to show how much they’ve grown in recent years as men and businessmen.
You gotta love it.
If the New York Knicks somehow pull off a miracle and bring a championship to the Big Apple for the first time in decades, these two might have to do a joint concert together to celebrate the achievement and invite the likes of Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, The Lox and other living rappers from Hip-Hop’s golden era.
Don’t expect to see Ja Rule though. Just sayin’.
What do y’all think of 50 Cent and Fat Joe’s seemingly tight relationship these days? Let us know in the comments section below.

50 Cent, is, once again, weighing in on celebrity gossip swirling around the internet rumor mill, this time, regarding a claim made by boxer Gervonta Davis about retired fighter Floyd Mayweather, who Davis said was being held hostage in Dubai in a series of tweets he previously posted.
Davis recently claimed that Mayweather was “in Dubai and can’t leave becuz he been taking n-ggas money and not doing what they paid him to do.” Davis also claimed Floyd needed “a wire” in order to get “home.”
“Let me call 50, we gotta get this n-gga home by Monday,” Davis tweeted, to which 50 responded, “Oh nah this shit is real.”
“[Davis] would not say no shit like that if it wasn’t official,” the G-Unit CEO continued. Me and Champ be beefing but he my brother. I got some money if he need it !”
For those who are wondering (because you care—you know you do), here’s how we got here, according to Hip Hop DX:
The beef between the boxers stems from “Pretty Boy Floyd” saying earlier this week that other fighters were emulating his flash without putting in the necessary work.
Davis took this as a direct insult and unloaded with his hostage claim in return.
Mayweather’s social media indicates that he was indeed in Dubai at the beginning of this month, though there is no evidence that he is being held there.
Fif, of course, isn’t shy about trolling Floyd Mayweather, as he did back in February when he roasted the boxer for his stance on Diddy’s recent sexual assault allegations.
Lawd, what did Mayweather say about Diddy? (Not that it would take much for 50 to go into troll mode behind the deeply embattled Bad Boy mogul.)
“I’m not gonna speak bad about P. Diddy,” Mayweather said on The Pivot Podcast at the time Diddy was accused of rape by singer Cassie and other women. “‘Cause he still a Black man. Mistakes happen. And I can’t say if it is or not a mistake, but things happen in life. And P. Diddy’s business is P. Diddy’s business. It’s not my job or anybody else’s job to go on the internet and stomp him and kick a man while he’s down.
“My take on it is: it’s not my business. I don’t think it’s right at all and I don’t condone it,” Mayweather continued. “Even if that happened to my daughter, I would be hurt but that’s a choice that my daughter made.” (For the record, no woman has ever made a choice to be raped or sexually assaulted, if that’s what Mayweather was implying.)
In February, 50 noted on Instagram that “they didn’t even ask him about this,” in response to Mayweather’s remarks.
“Champ is you stupid or is you dumb? Get me the fuck out ya head, you sound like a hater. DIDDY DO IT ? COMING soon,” Fif’s post continued.
Maybe it’s a social media thing, but can anyone remember a time before now when rappers and boxers were this into celebrity gossip and male cattiness? Weird, right?

Taking some time off from trolling Diddy, aka The Diddler, 50 Cent continues to grow his Hollywood empire by launching his own studio.
On Thursday (April 18), 50 Cent took a page out of Tyler Perry’s book by launching his G-Unit Studios in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The rapper/mogul also received the key to the city from Mayor Tom Arceneaux, and April 18 is officially known as 50 Cent Day in Shreveport.
The “Wanksta” crafter’s music career is no longer his focal point. Still, he has become one of the biggest names in Hollywood thanks to his slate of popular crime dramas like Power and its successful spinoffs Power Book II: Ghost, Raising Kanan, and Force.
He also has BMF, the series loosely based on the lives of Demetrius Edward “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry Lee “Southwest Tee” Flenory, all currently on the Starz network.
A large crowd was at Government Plaza on Thursday afternoon to see Diddy’s number one nemesis officially secure the lease for the property.
Per local news affiliate KSLA 12, 50 Cent and G-Unit Film and Television acquired a 30-year lease for the property at $2,400 per year, with an option to extend for 15 years.
50 Cent spoke on the epic moment, telling Billboard:
As someone who has always believed in the transformative power of music, film, and television, I’m beyond excited to introduce the expansion of my G-Unit Film & Television through the launch of G-Unit Studios right here in Shreveport.
From the gritty narratives of the streets to the compelling stories that define our era, G-Unit has always been more than just entertainment; it’s a platform for voices that need to be heard, stories that need to be told. Bringing G-Unit Studios to Shreveport is not just a business decision; it’s a commitment to fostering talent, creating opportunities, and building a community that thrives through creativity and innovation. We see Shreveport as a beacon of inspiration and creativity.
Mayor Arceneaux spoke about the move, potentially providing many job opportunities for Shreveport natives.
“We are thrilled that G-Unit Studios will plant its roots in Shreveport,” said Mayor Arceneaux. “This city’s rich culture and talent provides the perfect backdrop for this endeavor. We are eager to collaborate with Mr. Jackson and G-Unit Film & Television to bring captivating movies and entertainment to Shreveport and Caddo Parish.”
Congrats to 50 Cent and the G-Unit Film and Television team.

The boisterous mogul has been understandably S I L E N T following waves of sexual assault allegations, but with his latest post on IG, he could have possibly made his loudest statement yet.
Diddy’s life has been turned upside down after his ex-longtime girlfriend, singer/model Cassie Ventura, slapped him with a sexual assault lawsuit with eye-brow-raising accusations, opening the floodgates.
He did quickly settle with the “Me & U” singer, but that didn’t stop other alleged victims from coming out and accusing the music mogul of some disgusting behavior that has also swept up a lot of people in his orbit, including his son, Christian Combs who is now the target of a sexual assault.
Two days ago, the 54-year-old Bad Boy CEO shared a full-length clip from his 1998 single “Victory,” showing him ironically running from the law with the caption, “Bad Boy For Life.”
Variety reports that the post received over 200,000 likes since he shared it and features numerous shows of support from some celebrity friends, including his son.
Per Variety:
The comments were left open, and Christian Combs, who is reportedly being sued by a woman for sexual assault in 2022 — wrote “Who you know do it better!!” with three fire emojis. Multiple mid-level artists — including Ginuwine and Lil Scrappy, also weighed in with support. The clip was posted in both his Instagram story and as a stand-alone post; as of Saturday morning it had reached 200,000 likes.
This post marks the first time in a while since the accusations hit that Diddy has left the comment section on one of his posts open.
The Saga Continues For Diddy
He has also been popping up randomly around Miami following the raid on his homes and constant trolling from his longtime nemesis, 50 Cent, who has also been indirectly involved in the mess being that his baby mama, Daphne Joy, was named as an alleged “sex worker” in a lawsuit from producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones.
Joy clapped back at the G-Unit general, accusing him of rape and being an absent father after the “Wanksta” crafter said he was going to file for full custody of the former couple’s 11-year-old son, Sire Jackson.
The rapper, born Curtis Jackson, denies Joy’s claims.
In his latest trolling of Diddy, he used the new “pause” replacement, “No P.Diddy,” during his set at the Dreamville music festival.
Never change Fif.

Stevie J continues to stand up for his friend Diddy. In a recent interview he detailed the Miami raid and called 50 Cent an Uncle Tom.
The Grammy Award-winning producer recently conducted an interview with TMZ. During the Q&A he revealed that he was at Diddy’s home in Miami when the federal authorities swarmed the compound. “I was at his crib working in the studio. I was sitting outside the studio door and I heard a big BOOM!” he said. “I have witnessed some historical events of excessive force but nothing like this since Sadam Hussein or El Chapo or Pablo Escobar. Three big armored vehicles come and dudes jump out and I have 50 [infrared] dots on my shirt.” he added.
When asked by Harvey Levin what was removed from the property, the “Honey” composer replied, “I saw them take like a bag.. I am sure they took some of the electronics, some of the camera stuff.” He also spoke on 50 Cent and referred to him as an Uncle Tom. “He wants to bring down the Black community worse than anyone else. Stop being a girl and talking about dudes. I’m not concerned about this dude, Curtis. He’s an Uncle Tom and that’s what it is.” Lastly, Stevie J stated that while Diddy felt devasted that his children had to witness the raids in real-time his spirits are up. “He’s spending time with his children and his mother, working out. He’s doing very well.”
50 Cent has since responded to Stevie J on Instagram in typical 50 Cent fashion. “Diddy’s boy friend called me a sell out, He is correct I’m selling out BRANSON COGNAC LOL,” the caption read.

On Thursday (March 28), Daphne Joy made an alarming accusation that she was raped and abused by her son’s father, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson via Instagram. Wasting little time, 50 Cent responded with a statement shooting down the allegations in the wake of the recent legal issues surrounding Daphne Joy.
Daphne Joy, who was named in the lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against Sean “Diddy” Combs, claims that Jackson raped and abused her. Taking to Instagram, Joy held nothing back as she referred to Jackson as her “oppressor.”
From Instagram:
Curtis James Jackson. Everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening now. You are wreaking real havoc, frenzy and chaos onto people’s lives. How could u feel if Sire was the one in handcuffs? For nothing. We moved to New York to give you the opportunity to be a father to your son and you saw him 10 times out of the 2 years that we lived 1 mile away from you. I am tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned.
Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false slams made against me. You have broken our hearts for the last and final time.
In a statement delivered to The Hollywood Reporter, Jackson says that the allegations are untrue.
From THR:
The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy the mother of my twelve year old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire. The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son. My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time.
It doesn’t appear that 50 Cent is bothered, posting to his Instagram page Friday morning, which can be viewed below.

50 Cent done did it now. After days of clowning P. Diddy for having his homes raided by the Department of Homeland Security for suspicion of sex trafficking, 50 Cent done went and woke up a sleeping dragon in one Steven Aaron Jordan aka “Stebie” J.
Yesterday (March 28), Stevie J took to social media to respond to a dig that 50 threw his way when Fiddy shared a post on his IG page which claimed that Diddy had videos of his Bad Boy producer engaging in sexual acts with another man. Though this is a weeks-old rumor that surfaced after Diddy was sued by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, 50 decided to share it now with a caption that read, “whoa say it ain’t so @hitmansteviej_1 WTF, this shit is a mess.”
Apparently, this was enough for Stevie J to take to social media and challenge 50 Cent to a fist fight. No, seriously. In a video that was circulating social media yesterday, Stevie J accused 50 Cent of being in his “feelings” about his baby mother, Daphne Joy, being down with the “gang” as she was named as one of Diddy’s paid sex workers after Lil Rod’s lawyer amended the original lawsuit.
After suggesting 50 Cent was “sucking” Lil Rod’s, well, rod, Stevie went on to say “However it go, I wanna shoot the fade ni**a. F*ck all that. Since it’s entertainment, let me beat the sh*t out of you on TV or something. Don’t duck that. I’m calling you out. What you wanna do, Curtis? Cuurtiiisss!”
Everyone involved in this is well over the age of 40-years-old by the way. Just wanted to throw that out there.
While 50 has yet to respond to Stevie J’s challenge, Stevie has to beware of 50’s pettiness. Don’t forget that his ex, Joseline Hernandez, is still out there and should 50 entice her with a big enough bag, he may get her to reiterate her claims that Stevie J goes both ways in the bedroom. You can’t put anything past 50. Just ask Ja Rule.
That being said, 50 did take some time to throw more shade at his baby mother as he reportedly sues her for sole custody of their son, following the allegation that she’s on Diddy’s payroll as a sex worker. Taking to his IG and X pages, 50 posted a pic of Daphne Joy with Diddy and in the caption wrote, “You moved a mile away in hopes of having another baby with me but I was busy. So you moved back and then you started receiving money from Brother Love. Now here we are, little sex worker.”
Again, the pettiness. Beware “Stebie” J for the Puerto Rican Princess might be lurking.
How this all ends is anyone’s guess, but it is pretty damn entertaining. Grown men acting like kids on social media is both hilarious and disappointing.
What do y’all think of this situation? Let us know in the comments section below.

Is anyone on the planet enjoying Diddy’s downfall more than 50 Cent? In an interesting turn of events, the G-Unit general’s ex, Daphne Joy, name came up in the lawsuit against the embattled music mogul as an alleged sex worker.
Joy’s name joined others like Yung Miami in the $30 million federal lawsuit filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who worked on Sean Combs, aka The Diddler, last project, The Love Album: Off The Grid.
Per Page Six, Joy and the City Girls members were allegedly sex workers. Yung Miami also allegedly transports “Pink Cocaine” for Diddy.
50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, has been taking shots at Diddy on Instagram every chance he gets, so it should come as no surprise he had something to say about his ex being named in the lawsuit.
In the caption for the post, he wrote, “I didn’t know you was a sex worker, you little sex worker.LOL. Yo this shit is a movie.”
The 48-year-old Queens rapper had more to say about the 54-year-old Bad Boy Records CEO.
In a follow-up post, he shared a screenshot of the lawsuit, claiming that Diddy had hidden cameras in every room of his home, recordings of celebrities, artists, music label executives, and athletes engaging in illegal activity” at his “freak-off” parties without their consent.
In the caption for that post, he wrote, “Smh this is gonna be so good, what you want to bet I’m a get these tapes. I’ll pay top dollar for them.”
Lol, bruh.
Joy and 50 Cent began dating in 2011 and welcomed their only child, son Sire, in September 2012.
We can only imagine what other developments come from this lawsuit.

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.
