50 Cent Mocks Diddy Over Lawsuit and Calls Out Usher on Instagram
Widely regarded as the king of trolls, 50 Cent has a long history of coming up with diabolical ways to take swipes at his favorite target, Diddy. However, the epic feud had gone silent for weeks until 50 Cent recently revived it while also calling out Usher.
50 Cent Roasts Diddy and Drags Usher Into the Drama
Even though celebrities typically have staggering follower numbers on social media, many of them post as if they get the approval of a group of PR professionals first. On the other hand, 50 Cent doesn't seem to hold back on social media at all. A perfect example of that came on June 9, when he mocked Diddy for being sued by an anonymous child actor for alleged assault. In the same post, he also called out Usher.
"I missed this one, Usher gonna say no Diddy didn't, he didn't do that. Diddy a MOOK!"
In less than a day, 50 Cent's latest swipe at Diddy garnered more than 80.5 thousand likes on Instagram. The post also received more than 3.5 thousand comments and 1.3 thousand reposts. Many of the comments heavily featured laughing emojis, and at least one referred to 50 Cent as a legend for the post.
Diddy Hit With Explosive Lawsuit From Anonymous Former Child Star
On the same day 50 Cent uploaded his post, TMZ reported that a new lawsuit had been filed against Diddy by an anonymous former child actor. In the court docs, the man suing Diddy over an alleged 2007 assault is identified solely as "John Doe." The outlet quoted a statement from Diddy's representative, Juda Engelmayer, completely denying the accusations made in the lawsuit.
"The allegations from this so-called nameless child actor are false and ridiculous. He's just another hater in a long list of people trying to get in on the money gravy train encouraged by personal injury lawyers. Mr. Combs has never s******y assaulted anyone - and that includes any child! These allegations will be disproved like all the rest."
Usher's Viral Diddy Comments
In March 2026, the following positive comments that Usher made to Forbes about Diddy and his legacy went viral. "This might be a bit controversial… but in many ways, I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer. I don't have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he's been, you know, misrepresented."
Usher continued, "I'm not saying that every man is perfect. I'm not saying that all of us don't have flaws. But I can't, with any sense of humanity, not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made-for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as businessmen, for us as people who transition, you know, culture and ideas into something that's tangible and becomes business. So many people have benefited from what he created, and I acknowledge that."
Usher's past defense of Diddy is seemingly what inspired 50 Cent to name him in his recent mocking Instagram post.
