50 Cent is loving this.
In case you missed it, federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security raided the Miami and Los Angeles homes of rapper and record producer Sean “Diddy” Combs yesterday, believed to be part of an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking allegations that were raised in a lawsuit against Diddy filed last year by his former girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura.
Ventura alleged in the lawsuit that she was trafficked, raped and beaten by the rapper during their relationship, which began when Diddy was 37 and she was only 19. The lawsuit was quickly settled, but two more lawsuits were filed against him alleging sexual assault.
He was also hit with another lawsuit earlier this year by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who also accused Diddy of sexual harassment, claiming that he was “the victim of constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus by Mr. Combs.”
As a result of the allegations, several companies announced that they would stop doing business with the rapper and business mogul, and Hulu also canceled a planned reality series that centered around Diddy and his family.
While DHS wouldn’t confirm the nature of the investigation that led to the raids on the rapper’s homes yesterday, the rumors – and jokes – immediately started swirling online.
And it seems like fellow rapper 50 Cent couldn’t help but do some trolling of Diddy himself.
In a sweet shortly after the news broke, 50 posted on Twitter:
“Not it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done. They don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
And he continued the trolling over on Instagram with several posts:

The beef between Diddy and 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, actually goes back decades. Back in 2006, Diddy refused to release rapper Mase from Bad Boy Records so he could join 50 Cent in his group, G-Unit. In response, 50 released a diss track called “Hip Hop” that accused Diddy of knowing who killed The Notorious B.I.G. (who was signed to Diddy’s label, Bad Boy Records) back in 1997.
The two had said that they squashed their beef, but when Ventura filed her complaint last year, 50 Cent was once again quick to pile on Diddy’s troubles, announcing that he was working on a documentary on the sexual assault allegations against Combs with the proceeds to benefit survivors of sexual abuse.
And the internet has also been all over the allegations, with a recently-resurfaced clip of Katt Williams from a couple of months ago saying that Diddy would face consequences for his actions in 2024:
Another clip showing Diddy talking about wanting to have a “48-hour sleepover” with a then-15-year old Justin Bieber has also been going viral, along with a clip of the pop star’s awkward answer a couple of years later when Diddy asked why he didn’t want to hang out with him anymore.
