2024/10/06

Curtis James Jackson III, known to fans as 50 Cent, is a legendary figure in the hip-hop scene, renowned for his impactful tracks and compelling lyrics. With a commanding presence, he has secured his place as one of the leading rappers of his era.

Beyond his notable music catalog, the 21 Questions artist is also recognized for his outspoken criticisms of Sean Combs, famously known as P. Diddy, on multiple occasions.

In light of Diddy’s arrest in September 2024, both fans and media outlets have begun to revisit the long-standing feud between 50 Cent and the influential music figure, examining the various allegations that 50 has directed toward Diddy.

Instances of 50 Cent’s Criticism Toward P. Diddy: From Diss Tracks to Roast Events

Released in September 2006, the album G-Unit Radio 22: Hip Hop Is Dead included a track titled “Hip Hop,”where 50 Cent made pointed accusations toward Diddy. In the verse, he suggested that Diddy might have knowledge about the murder of The Notorious B.I.G.

A notable excerpt of the lyrics includes:

“Who shot Biggie Smalls?/ We don’t get ’em/ They gon’ kill us all/ Man Puffy know who hit that ni**a/ Man that ni**a soft/ He scared them boys from the Westside/ I’ll break him off/ Dump on his a**/ So he run to Harlem shake ’em off,”

2) Supporting Claims on Diddy’s Possible Role in 2Pac’s Death (February 2016)

The 2015 documentary “Murder Rap: Inside the Biggie and Tupac Murders,”produced by Greg Kading, scrutinized the events surrounding the murders of the iconic rappers. The film raised the speculated notion that Diddy may have financially incentivized the assassination of 2Pac. 50 Cent echoed these theories in a February 2016 Instagram post.

“LMAO SO PUFFY WIT THE SH** HUN?? SEE YOU GOTTA WATCH THESE PUNKS,? SCARY A** NI**AS A TRY YOU. #nopuffyjuice he killed Tupac lol.”

3) Comments Made During the ‘Final Lap Tour’ (October 2023)

From July to December 2023, 50 Cent embarked on his Final Lap Tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of his acclaimed album, Get Rich or Die Tryin. During a concert in Riga, Latvia in October 2023, he took aim at P. Diddy once more, stating:

“It’s some crazy sh*t that comes out of my mouth for no reason. For no fu**ing reason. Maybe I said that sh*t about Puffy because he got 2Pac killed.”

4) Response to Raids on Diddy’s Properties (March 2024)

Prior to Diddy’s arrest in September 2024, federal agents executed raids on his residences in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25, 2024. Reports indicated that two of Diddy’s sons, Justin and Christian Combs, were briefly detained during these operations, which uncovered firearms and various electronic devices.

In reaction, 50 Cent posted on his X account:

“Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done it. They don’t come like that unless they got a case.”

5) Attendance at Diddy’s Roast Event (June 8, 2024)

The rapper expressed that he anticipated Diddy’s presence at the event and later shared a video from the occasion with the caption:

“This was some cool sh*t to see in person, and the proceeds went to victims of s**ual assault.”

In December 2023, 50 Cent announced plans to produce a Netflix documentary highlighting the allegations against Diddy. In an interview with Variety, he and director Alexandria Stapleton noted, “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.”
