Why all the taunting?
On Monday, as Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes in Miami Beach and Los Angeles were being raided by Homeland Security agents, rapper 50 Cent was gleefully typing away on social media.
The shocking searches came a month after a lawsuit filed by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones accusing Diddy of being the ringleader of an enterprise that could qualify as a “widespread and dangerous criminal sex trafficking organization.”
But 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson III, didn’t show any mercy to the fellow rapper, posting pictures of both mansions crawling with feds: “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done. They don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
The hip-hop world already knows these two have had issues for years, starting as far back as 2006, when Fifty released “The Bomb.” The lyrics imply “Puffy” (one of Diddy’s many monikers) knew who killed Notorious B.I.G., aka Biggie Smalls, who was murdered in a drive-by shooting in L.A. in 1997. Biggie was an artist with Diddy’s Bad Boy Records, and the mogul was in a nearby car. Diddy was never tied to the crime, or charged.
As his star rose, 50 Cent would shade Diddy at almost every opportunity, even though their beef was not totally clear. Roughly three decades on, the feud has come to a head. The “Candy Shop” singer’s production company even has a tell-all documentary about the embattled rapper in the works.
This week, amid all the Internet commotion, the 48 year old shared an image that appears to be the poster for “Diddy Do It?” The artist, Kode Abdo, told Forbes that he created the “promo,” but it wasn’t official.
There may be another, more personal, reason the “Power” actor is so invested in this mess: His ex was named in court papers as one of Combs’ alleged sex workers. Actress Daphne Joy, 37, also happens to be the mother of Jackson’s 12 year old son, Sire.
According to Jones’ lawsuit, Diddy “bragged about having several women on a monthly stipend,” court papers say. The Filipino model was allegedly among the three women, including Yung Miami, who were on the payroll.
“The accountant, would ensure the wiring, funds transfer, or cash payments to sex workers,” says Jones’ lawsuit, which adds that employees were wired cash.
But after this bombshell came to light, 50 Cent appeared to be in the dark.
“I didn’t know you was a sex worker, you little sex worker. LOL,” he wrote on Instagram Wednesday. “Yo this s-- is a movie.”
On Thursday, UsWeekly reports that Jackson is now taking legal action against his child’s mother.
“Given the latest developments and news of Daphne Joy’s involvement in the Diddy lawsuit, 50 is going for sole custody of his son,” a source close to the situation told the outlet.
