While Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, has been making news for teasing Diddy after his arrest, he has actually been criticizing him for a long time, starting back in the early 2000s. When he was still a new artist, 50 Cent made a song that suggested Diddy knew more about Notorious B.I.G.’s death than he ever admitted. This was the first time anyone publicly talked about a possible disagreement between them.
Over the years, 50 Cent became more upset with how Diddy treated younger artists. He said Diddy used young rappers for money and then moved on once they were no longer useful. He pointed out that many artists Diddy signed became popular quickly but then disappeared, leaving them struggling to find their place in the music industry after Diddy was done with them.Recently, 50 Cent has spoken out about Diddy’s behavior toward both men and women.
During a visit to The Breakfast Club, he initially questioned Diddy’s sexuality in a negative way, which made some people upset. He later explained that he felt uncomfortable because Diddy brought a sexual energy to situations where it wasn’t appropriate.
In 2024, after Diddy’s arrest, 50 Cent said he had been criticizing Diddy for over ten years and had even stayed away from events Diddy organized. He claimed that Diddy created a strange vibe at every gathering he attended. Their business rivalry also added to the tension. Both 50 Cent and Diddy started their own liquor brands. 50 Cent focused on cognac and champagne, while Diddy’s company made tequila and vodka. Both were successful at first, but 50 Cent built a bigger empire, while Diddy’s ventures faced a lot of issues.
Most people believe a woman played a big role in the feud. 50 Cent has a child with Daphne Joy. Their relationship was rocky, and their breakup was even worse. There were accusations against 50 Cent, and Daphne Joy filed a defamation lawsuit against him. After they split, it’s said she started a relationship with Diddy and attended some of his wild parties. DJ Akademiks even posted online questioning if Daphne Joy would be in a future documentary, implying there might be a love triangle between the three. He was clearly joking at 50 Cent’s expense, suggesting the documentary could be based on that idea.
Diddy always says there’s no problem between him and 50 Cent. He even claimed 50 “loved him” during a visit to The Breakfast Club. Although he keeps up the image that things are fine, we don’t know what he really thinks about 50 Cent or what he has said about him. His private feelings might be very different from what he publicly says.
