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.

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.
You can see their interaction below starting at the 1:45 minute mark below.

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.
