50 Cent Breaks Silence On Sex Trafficking, Rape Allegations Against Diddy
American rapper 50 Cent has spoken out about the recent sex trafficking and rape allegations leveled against fellow artist Sean “Diddy” Combs.
This comes amid Diddy’s mounting legal troubles, including a second wave of sexual assault lawsuits, one of which involves the alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl.
Diddy, who is currently facing multiple sexual assault and rape charges, was reportedly arrested by federal agents at a Manhattan hotel following a grand jury indictment. The accusations have rocked the music industry, leading to significant media attention.

In an exclusive interview with People, 50 Cent addressed the situation, maintaining that his comments should not be misconstrued as an attack on Diddy. “Look, it seems like I’m doing some extremely outrageous things, but I have not. It’s really me just saying what I have been saying for 10 years,” 50 Cent stated. He added, “Now it’s becoming more full-facing in the news with Diddy’s stuff, but away from that. I’m like, Yo, it is just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff the entire time, because it is not my style.”
The two artists have a long history of animosity dating back to the 1990s. Their feud escalated in 2006 when 50 Cent released a diss track titled “The Bomb,” in which he accused Diddy of involvement in the 1997 murder of rap icon Biggie Smalls.
Despite their longstanding rivalry, 50 Cent’s recent remarks indicate that he is distancing himself from Diddy’s current legal battles, reaffirming that he has always stayed clear of such controversies.
Diddy has not yet commented publicly on the latest developments in the case. The allegations continue to unfold, with legal experts closely watching the proceedings as more details emerge.
