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.

Alex Iwobi Drops Second Single “What’s Luv?”
Fulham midfielder, Alex Iwobi has expanded his creative pursuits, releasing a second single titled “What’s Luv?”.
This follows the success of his debut track “Don’t Shoot”, marking Iwobi as the first Premier League footballer to enter the music scene with his name and face attached to his music.
Known for his skill on the pitch with over 260 top-flight appearances, Iwobi is now sharing his off-field passion with fans and listeners.
“Music has always been a passion of mine,” Iwobi shared. “It’s a way for me to express myself away from football. Music is a great tool, and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel.”
Iwobi, who grew up in a challenging area of London, said he wants his music to inspire young people to focus on positive goals, showing them they don’t need to fit into one mold. Through his community work and his creative projects, Iwobi aims to provide a message of resilience and self-expression.
“Growing up, I know how hard it can be,” he said. “Alongside the work we do in the community, I hope that my music shows young people they can pursue different passions. Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football; it actually helps me switch off.”
With “What’s Luv?”, Iwobi continues to encourage a positive narrative for youth, using his platform as both a Premier League player and a musician to inspire others to follow their dreams and make productive choices.

Singer Joe El Amadi has spoken out about the challenges he faces due to his strong resemblance to fellow artist 2Baba.

He revealed that some music executives and media personalities have even denied him access to their platforms solely because of this resemblance.

“The Sound City presenter even confronted me at Club Rumours one time boasting that he was the one that ordered presenters at his station not to play my songs because I was mimicking 2Face.
“The event planner at Festac Carnival insisted that I won’t perform because I look like their King 2Face. The same thing happened when I went for an interview at Cool FM; the presenter said he can’t interview someone who imitates 2Face.
“I complained to my mum and my record label boss, Baba Keke but they urged to be calm. Sometimes, when I try to pay homage to 2Face when we meet in public, some of his team members will block me.”
Joe El shared that people began to embrace his music after collaborating with 2Baba on the song ‘Hold On’ in 2015.
Explaining his departure from Kennis Music after 12 years, he simply stated, “The contract was over.”
