The feud between 50 Cent and Diddy has been one of the longest-running rivalries in hip hop, and it doesn’t seem to be cooling down anytime soon. Recently, their beef has taken an even more intense turn, with 50 Cent diving deeper into the accusations against Diddy, adding fuel to the fire with a new documentary. As tensions rise, both sides are trading barbs, and the public is watching closely to see how this drama unfolds.
It all started back in 2006, when 50 Cent dropped a diss track called “The Bomb” that launched a bitter feud with Diddy. 50 Cent has long accused Diddy of being involved in shady dealings, particularly around the deaths of two major figures in hip hop, The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur. Though the authorities have never connected Diddy to either of their deaths, 50 Cent has relentlessly insinuated that Diddy had a hand in both incidents, even accusing him of profiting off Biggie’s legacy through posthumous releases.
In more recent years, 50 Cent has also made it a point to question Diddy’s sexuality, calling him “fruity” in an interview and recalling a strange encounter where Diddy allegedly invited him to go shopping—a gesture 50 found suspicious.
The tension reached new heights when 50 mocked Diddy’s parties, claiming he was uncomfortable with the vibe and joking that Diddy would hug you “from the front and the back.”
But the feud took a serious turn in December 2023, when news broke that Diddy’s ex-partner, Cassie Ventura, had filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault and human trafficking. Diddy swiftly settled the case, but the story didn’t end there. 50 Cent seized the opportunity to turn the spotlight back on Diddy, announcing a documentary that would delve into these explosive allegations.
The documentary, produced by 50’s company G-Unit Films and Television, quickly gained attention when 50 shared clips from it, including a disturbing claim from rapper Mark Curry, who accused Diddy of spiking women’s drinks at parties. Curry alleged that at these parties, bottles of Moet were tampered with to make women “real slippery,” suggesting a pattern of predatory behavior. This only added fuel to the already raging fire surrounding Diddy’s public image.
As Diddy faces serious legal trouble, including charges of sexual assault and human trafficking, 50 Cent hasn’t hesitated to mock him. In March, following a raid on Diddy’s mansion by federal authorities, 50 posted a taunting message on Instagram, poking fun at the absurdity of the situation. Authorities had seized narcotics and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant from Diddy’s property, and 50, never one to shy away from stirring the pot, seized the opportunity to mock his rival. He posted a now-deleted screenshot of a TMZ article about the raid with a caption that read, “now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy Dawn,” suggesting that Diddy’s days of living a charmed life were finally over.
The rivalry has only grown more intense since Diddy’s arrest and the subsequent revelation of federal charges against him. 50 Cent has been outspoken about the situation, even calling out the entertainment industry for not doing more to expose Diddy’s alleged behavior.
He explained that many in Hollywood were complicit in the same kind of behavior that Diddy allegedly engaged in but were silent because they had benefited from his influence or wealth. 50 Cent, however, has always prided himself on being outspoken and independent, unafraid to challenge the industry’s most powerful figures.
While 50 Cent’s documentary on Diddy is still in the works, it’s clear that this feud is far from over. The upcoming film, which is expected to be released on Netflix, will explore the deeper, darker side of Diddy’s legacy. Given the serious nature of the allegations against him, this documentary could change the public perception of Diddy and potentially open the door for more revelations about the inner workings of the hip hop world.
As this drama unfolds, the rivalry between 50 Cent and Diddy continues to captivate the public. Whether it’s through music, documentaries, or social media jabs, these two titans of hip hop have been at odds for nearly two decades, and it doesn’t look like either one is backing down anytime soon. In fact, 50 Cent seems more determined than ever to ensure that Diddy faces the consequences of his alleged actions—no matter how much heat it brings.
