American rapper 50 Cent has publicly reacted after his name surfaced during the ongoing sex trafficking trial of his long-time rival, Sean "Diddy" Combs. Combs, who was arrested in 2024, is currently facing serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges in New York. The trial has seen various A-list celebrity names mentioned during bombshell testimonies, and 50 Cent's recent social media post indicates he's keeping a close eye on the proceedings.
Revelations from Diddy's Former Assistant
The trial, now in its third week, has featured graphic testimonies from Cassie Ventura, Diddy's former girlfriend, who detailed allegations of physical and psychological abuse spanning from 2007 to 2018. Adding another layer to the complex case, Capricorn Clark, Diddy's former assistant, provided testimony on Tuesday, May 27th, revealing a list of celebrities Diddy considered enemies.
During her testimony, Clark informed the court that she once overheard Diddy discussing weapons while speaking about 50 Cent. She quoted Diddy as telling an executive, "I don’t like the back and forth, I don’t like that. I like guns." This statement has drawn significant attention, especially given the well-known, decades-long rivalry between the two hip-hop moguls.
50 Cent's Sarcastic Instagram Response
In response to the court testimony suggesting Diddy harbored intentions of harming him, 50 Cent took to his Instagram page to mock the situation. He posted a sarcastic message that quickly went viral: "Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low, I think I’m gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL."
This reaction from 50 Cent comes despite Diddy having frequently denied rumors of a feud between them in the past. 50 Cent has been a vocal critic of Combs, particularly since the legal troubles began, and has often used social media to comment on the ongoing developments.
