Rapper 50 Cent has arguably been the most vocal celebrity after federal authorities raided the homes of his contemporary, Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
50 Cent— whose given name is Curtis Jackson— has had a long-running feud with Combs—who has also been known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and Brother Love throughout his career— which seemed to escalate after his ex and mother of his son, Daphne Joy, was named in a misconduct lawsuit filed against Combs.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted a large-scale operation at Combs' homes in Miami and Los Angeles on Monday for what the Associated Press reported was a sex trafficking investigation. Diddy was not arrested and charges have not been pressed against anyone at the time of writing.
Combs' attorney, Aaron Dyer, slammed the raid on Tuesday calling it "a gross overuse of military-level force" and "a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits," in a statement to Newsweek.
The music mogul has been on the receiving end of multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct. The most recent came from music producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones who accused Combs of alleged multiple crimes while working with him for 13 months from 2022.
Some of the things Jones accused Combs of were sex trafficking, forcing him to procure sex workers and then have sex with them, partying with underaged girls, forced drug-taking, grooming, pressure to lie about an alleged shooting, and manipulation.
One of the claims in the suit was that Combs bragged that he paid a "monthly stipend" to three women, including Jackson's ex Daphne Joy, for sexual services.
Combs denied Jones' claims and his representatives referred Newsweek to a February 26 statement from his attorney Shawn Holley following repeated requests for comment.
"Mr. Jones is nothing more than a con man, shamelessly looking for an easy and wholly undeserved payday. We have indisputable, incontrovertible proof that his claims are complete fabrications," Holley said.
Jones filed the lawsuit in February but submitted an amended suit on Monday, which has gained a lot of attention amid the HSI raids on Combs' homes.
It also caught the attention of Jackson who has shared multiple posts on his social media about the allegations and Joy, constantly labeling her a "sex worker," even though she publicly denied it.
Here's everything he's said about Diddy so far. Newsweek contacted Jackson's representatives by email for comment.
Monday, March 25
Jackson took to X, formerly Twitter, where he shared screenshots of news reports about the raids.
"Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done 🤷🏽♂️they don't come like that unless they got a case," he captioned the post.
Tuesday, March 26
The G-Unit rapper posted an doctored video of former President Donald Trump whose voice had been edited to sound like he was talking about Combs. In the video, the fake Trump says "you really f*****" and "I told you to stop messing with R. Kelly,"— the R&B singer sentenced to 30 years in jail for sexually abusing young fans.
Jackson posted that to both X and Instagram with the caption: "The world's almost over 🤷🏽♂️so what are we worried about. Who ever made this is f***** up. I think Trumps gonna be president again, but I'm not gonna say that."
The Documentary
On the same day, Jackson announced his production company, Green Light Gang, was going to make a documentary about the allegations against Combs, called Diddy Do It?
"This is gonna break records when this drop. GLG🚦GreenLightGang you know the vibes," he captioned the social media post.
Thursday, March 28
Jackson shared two photos of him posing by a huge car while smoking a cigar and captioned the post, "I didn't know you was a sex worker, 👀you little sex worker. LOL 😆Yo this s*** is a movie," presumably referring to Joy.
Newsweek contacted Joy's representatives by email for comment.
Jackson did share another post about some of Combs' song lyrics but Newsweek did not include them for legal reasons.
Custody Battle
Also on Thursday, Jackson's animosity towards his ex intensified when he shared a screenshot of a news article claiming he was seeking sole custody of their 11-year-old son, Sire.
"It is what it is 🤷🏽♂️see you in Family court, sex worker! #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi," he wrote on social media.
Jackson then shared a photo of Joy and Combs in a separate post with a lengthy caption.
"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. #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi," he wrote.
Friday, March 29
Over on Instagram, Jackson shared a clip from the MSNBC show The ReidOut where host Joy Reid was speaking to music journalist Touré. He was telling the host about a family member he helped secure an internship for with Combs but which was allegedly cut short after that male family member refused to go home with him.
"🤔so he didn't give up the buns, he got fired.👏👏👏it could be worst, we could just be finding out he's a little sex worker. 😳," Jackson wrote on the post.
Jackson's following post included a photo of the rapper in a green suit, sitting on a sofa and reading what looks like a business document. He used the post as another opportunity to take a swipe at Joy.
"Good morning people let's focus on our goals and get some work done. Let's work hard to contribute to world being a better place. All the work we do counts, even you little sex workers 😟LOL," he wrote.
He also wished people who celebrate a happy Good Friday on the Easter weekend.
"Enjoy every moment of the day today God bless anyone who reads this. God loves us all, 🙏🏿Even little ... I'm not gonna say that NVM. 😕," Jackson joked.
Using the Good Friday holiday to post a lot about Combs, he then shared a photo of news story that claimed Combs owes $100 million in mortgage repayments.
"Diddy got that 100 mill in da house behind the house. Billionaire boys club let's do brunch guys. 😆," he wrote on Instagram.
Saturday, March 30
Then in the early hours of Saturday morning, Jackson admitted he woke up early and so posted a photo of Easter Eggs with a quote covering the photo, which he photoshopped to attribute to "little sex workers."
The quote read, "I believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don't even try to tell me different," and he captioned the post, "Good morning, 👀I fell asleep wild early, is anybody up? Oh yall coming from the club. 😆got you a little sex worker ! LOL".
