One thing about 50 Cent: It does not look like he plans to stop trolling Diddy over the quickly-settled lawsuit his former girlfriend, Cassie, filed against him alleging years of physical, sexual and psychological abuse.
As previously reported, 50 responded to the news of Diddyâs new legal troubles by mocking him with a social media post captioned, âDamn brother love, brother love, brother love, you out here looking CRAZY AS A MF. LMAO.â
Later, the âMany Menâ rapper implied that he would be producing a documentary covering the scandal called âSurviving P.Diddy,â an obvious reference to the dream hampton-produced docuseries Surviving R Kelly.
Now, 50 Cent is saying he wants to buy Revolt TV after the news broke that Diddy would be temporarily stepping down as the platformâs chairman amid the controversy.
âIâll buy that from you play boy, for the low because you know Cadillac and AT&T gonna pull out,â 50 wrote in a comment on Instagram. âIâll give you a few dollars for it now! Sell it to me, then we can be friends. Iâm serious call my phone.â
As for Revolt TV, the network released a statement Tuesday (Nov. 28) announcing the departure of the former Bad Boy mogul, who co-founded the company in 2013.
âSean Combs has stepped down from his position as Chairman of REVOLT,â the statement reads. âWhile Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that REVOLT remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora.
Our focus has always been one that reflects our commitment to the collective journey of REVOLTâone that is not driven by any individual, but by the shared efforts and values of our entire team on behalf of advancing, elevating and championing our cultureâand that continues.â
Obviously, neither sexual assault nor domestic violence are things to joke about, but, then, that never really stopped 50 from going out of his way to be a troll. Love him or hate him, that man is consistent.

Fans of 50 Cent are well aware of the rapper and mogulâs penchant for commenting on big moments of the culture, typically via his signature sarcastic fashion. An audio clip of the Queens native using that same biting wit has resurfaced and at that time, the target of his barbs was Sean âDiddyâ Combs.
Diddy isnât having the best go of it lately after settling an explosive lawsuit with his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. 50 Cent has already made a light jab towards Puff Daddy, but what has folks talking is a 2010 audio clip from Fifâs time on DJ Whoo Kidâs Shade 45 program discussing what allegedly were explicit photos of Ventura.
In the audio, it appears that Fif had some photos sent to him by Diddy where the G-Unit honcho questioned the nature of the relationship between the Bad Boy boss and the woman in the photo, which is alleged to be Cassie. Fif had his own set of photos which he was considering uploading to ThisIs50.com.
Whoo Kid inquired as to how things went left between Diddy and 50 Cent, with Fif saying that Puff named a supergroup featuring Busta Rhymes, Rick Ross, Red Cafe, and DJ Khaled the Supreme Team. With the infamous Supreme Team name already being in use by Kenneth âSupremeâ McGriff, Diddy later changed the group name to Dream Team.
The clip below jumps all over the place but Fif does mention Cassieâs name in audio, stating that the photos he saw were apparently orchestrated by Diddy.
Check out the audio below.

50 Centâs never been one to let anything slide when it comes to people he doesnât really f*ck with. When it comes to Sean Diddy Combs, the Bad Boy Records founder falls right into that category as far as Fiddy is concerned.
On Thursday (Nov. 16), the Hip-Hop world was blown away when we learned that Diddyâs former girlfriend, Cassie, filed a lawsuit against him accusing him of years of physical abuse and rape amongst many other eyebrow raising allegations. Not one to let the opportunity pass him by, to add his two cents into such a matter, 50 Cent took to X, formerly Twitter, to clown Diddy for his newfound legal troubles. He posted a picture of himself looking into a camera with a caption that read, âDamn brother love, brother love, brother love, you out here looking [eyes emoji]Â CRAZY AS A MF. LMAO #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.â
Well, 50 ainât wrong. The lawsuit that Cassie filed against Diddy accuses him of raping her and forcing her to engage in sexual acts with male escorts as Diddy watched. The lawsuit also described an incident in which Diddy threatened to blow up Kid Cudiâs car for getting too close to the âMe & Uâ singer. No wonder J. Lo never even attempted to rekindle that relationship once she got out of it, allegedly.
50 Cent trolling Diddy is nothing new as heâs done everything from calling him a âfruit popâ on Drink Champs after saying Diddy offered to take him shopping to more recently insinuating that Diddy had a role in the murder of Tupac Shakur. In short, 50 doesnât really like Diddy.
That being said, between this lawsuit and the general Hip-Hop public reaction to the allegations, itâs looking dark for Diddy until he can prove otherwise. One has to wonder if this is the reason why Diddy was randomly asking people to pray for him a few weeks back.
Either way, 50 Cent is having a ball with everything thatâs coming to light about the man known as Brother Love these days.
What do yâall think of 50 Cent trolling Diddy? Let us know in the comments section below.

The 2Pac murder investigation rabbit hole continues to get deeper and deeper. The late, great rapperâs brother Mopreme says that Diddy told him he didnât have anything to do with the infamous murder.
TMZ is reporting that the 2Pacâs stepbrother recently spoke to The Art of Dialogue. During the interview he discussed a variety of topics related to his legendary sibling. As expected the host Art asked the former Thug Life group member about that fateful night of September 7, 1996. He went on to make a reveal that quickly went viral. The âFeels Goodâ rapper says that Diddy once called him to personally tell him he had nothing to do with 2Pacâs death. âThe boy Puffy called me, though,â Mopreme said. âPuffy called me back in the day. He was like, âI just want you to know I ainât have nothing to do with your brotherâs [murder]. I know who you are, but we never met. I just want to call you man to man and let you know that I ainât have nothing to do with your brotherâs death.ââ
He went on to explain that while he thought it was a noble gesture he still was seeking answers. âI told him I appreciate the call, but the truth has yet to come out, so we gonâ see,â he added. âBack then, I wanted all the information I could get. I heard what he said, but this s**t been so chaotic. Ainât know which way to go until you found out more information. He could have been trying to cover his a**, or he could have been sincere.â
As spotted at Vibe Magazine 50 Cent has continued his attacks on Diddy. Once again he has pointed the finger of guilt at the Bad Boy Entertainment mogul as per Keffe Dâs story that Puffy offered a Crip set money to kill 2Pac. In an Instagram post he shared a clip of a Keffe D interview from The Art Of Dialogue where the Compton native claims that Diddy could have showed him and crew more love. âLMAO đBrother Love, show some love. Damn should have just sent this fool a few dollars.â the caption read.

50 Cent is alleging that Diddy is the mastermind behind the killing of 2Pac, causing some rumbling online.
HipHopDX reports that Monday (Oct. 9), 50 Cent shared an Instagram post comprised of the last photo of Tupac â2Pacâ Shakur as he and Suge Knight left the MGM Grand Casino in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. âDamn so pac got lined by brother love,â the G-Unit leader wrote in the caption, using the name Diddy goes by for his R&B projects. âLOL Time to Lawyer up, shit might get sticky.â Diddy had not responded to the post.
Thereâs uncertainty as to why 50 Cent would make that claim, but he has recently trolled the Harlem-born mogul for his parties during one of his concert stops on his Final Lap tour. âThatâs why I donât be going to them Puffy parties,â he said. âUh-uh. Ni**a hug you from the front and the back at the same time? F**k you talkinâ about? Look, if you into that, you into that, Iâm fine with it. To each his own. Iâm just sayinâ this ainât my motherf**kinâ kind of party. Itâs uncomfortable. I think I belong in the girlsâ bathroom when sh*t like that is going on.â
Thereâs also been an air of speculation around Diddy since the murder that evening. The rumors have been fueled by comments made by Duane âKeefe Dâ Davis in a confession he made to police in 2008. At the time, the South Side Compton Crip claimed that he and Diddy discussed a deal to kill 2Pac and Suge Knight since they represented Death Row Records, who were bitterly feuding with Bad Boy Records at the time.Â
Davis claimed that the conversation took place at Greenblattâs Deli in Los Angeles and that the mogul offered $1 million to âget rid of them dudes.â The 60-year-old would then tell Los Angeles Police Department officers that the Crips never received the alleged $500,000 payment from Diddy.Â
Davis is currently in jail in Las Vegas after being arrested for his role in the murder of 2Pac earlier this month after a grand jury indicted him. He now awaits another hearing to set the date for his trial. Diddy has passionately denied being involved in 2Pacâs death in the past.Â

If weâve learned anything from 50 Cent over the past two decades and change that heâs been in the rap game itâs that heâll never pass up an opportunity to clown Ja Rule. On Wednesday (Sept. 6), the G-Unit general once again let Jeffery Atkins know that heâs still on 50 Centâs sh*t list.
Taking to Instagram to post a video of a recent Ja Rule performance from the 2023 BMI R&B/Hip Hop Awards in Miami this past Wednesday night (Sept. 6) at Miamiâs LIV nightclub in which the âHolla Hollaâ rapper took to the stage tied to a wooden column (why, Ja?), 50 saw the opportunity to once again needle his Queens rival. Clowning Ja Rule for his onstage antics, 50 posted the video with a caption that read âlook at this shit head, is he supposed to be Jesus. đ WTF you canât make this shit up. LOL so stupid !â
Ja Rule making it too easy for 50, b.
The latest drive-by clowning comes months after 50 mocked Ja Rule for another over the top performance when Ja showed up to perform at Nellyâs Hot in Herre Festival in Toronto on a stretcher to bring some theatrics to his performance. Of course, the stunt had social media cutting a** on Ja and his career and naturally 50 piled on with his social media account saying âLol WTF I ainât gotta say sh*t stupid âs SMH.â
We understand that Ja is trying to secure the bag and make some noise to get attention by any means necessary, but again, heâs just making it too easy for 50, b.
That being said, we would really love to see a Verzuz battle featuring 50 Cent and Ja Rule as that would have the Hip-Hop world on edge and quickly sellout whatever venue it would be held at. Unfortunately, 50 Cent has no interest in helping Ja gain any attention outside of jokes here and there.
What do yâall think of Jaâs âcrucifixionâ? Sound off in the comments section below.

Weeks after Cardi B threw a microphone at a fan after getting splashed with a drink, 50 Cent followed suit and hurled an iron mic at someone during a recent performance and left said attendee in pretty bad shape.
According to TMZ the incident happened Wednesday night (Aug. 30) at the Crypto.com Arena in LA while 50 was doing a show as part of his Final Lap tour. Though no one from the crowd tried to disrespect him while he was doing his thing, 50âs anger stemmed from his growing frustration that came with the fact that the microphones that were on hand just didnât work.
TMZ reports:

Check out the video ⊠Fitty struts out onstage with a mic in hand to join YG, who is belting out a song. Suddenly, Fitty turns to one side of the stage and hurls the mic, striking a woman in the head.
Sources who were present tell TMZ ⊠Fitty wasnât targeting the woman, but still, he beaned her good. A source connected to 50 says the woman wasnât supposed to be in the restricted area ⊠but unlike the mic, that argument doesnât fly.
Pictures of the injured woman hit the net and judging from the looks of it, itâs a memory that might literally leave her scarred for life.
This is the same man who couldnât throw a baseball to save his life when he threw the first pitch for the Mets in 2014. All of a sudden heâs Dwight Gooden in â84. Who wouldâve thought?
No word on whether or not said victim will sue 50 for his transgression, but Cardi B was sued by the woman who she hit with the mic, so we wouldnât be surprised if the woman in this incident pursues legal action. Whether or not the microphone used as a weapon during 50âs performance will be auctioned off like Cardi Bâs is anyoneâs guess.
Yâall know 50 Cent must be a little nervous heâs about to get served. Just sayinâ.
What do yâall think? Should the victim sue 50 Cent for the gash he left on her forehead? Sound off in the comments section below.

Ja Rule has gone viral yet again. He attempted to bring some drama to a live performance and as expected 50 Cent had jokes.
As spotted on HipHopDX the Murder Inc. talent recently performed Nellyâs Hot in Herre Festival in Toronto and his entrance was not your standard rapper entrance. Ja was wheeled in on a stretcher by two men dressed up as a paramedics. Soon after his grand entrance sounds of a heart beating could be heard throughout the speaker system. Ja rule proceeded to yell âAyo, let these n***as know who I am. Iâm one of the three, n****!â. He then jumped up and started performing âLivinâ It Up.â
According to XXL Magazine fans in attendance were not impressed. âBecause his careerâs on life support?? is that it?â one user commented. âItâs the paramedics leaning over him like they picking out toppings for a subway sandwich and got 5min to get back from break.â another account wrote. Naturally the stunt quickly landed on 50 Centâs radar and he took to social media to poke fun at his rival for life. âLol đđđWTF đI ainât gotta say sh*t stupid đ„·đŸâs SMHâ he wrote on Instagram.
