50 Cent is not backing down from his long-held criticism of fellow hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, as the Bad Boy founder faces a flurry of serious legal battles, including allegations of racketeering, sex trafficking, and sexual exploitation.
According to 50 Cent, his recent public comments about Diddy are nothing new. He insists he’s been vocal about his issues with Combs for over a decade.
The G-Unit rapper, known for being outspoken, has maintained a contentious relationship with Diddy. Recently, the legal pressure against Diddy intensified after R&B singer Cassie Ventura filed a high-profile lawsuit against him, which triggered a wave of accusations from other women, culminating in a federal indictment.
Despite these developments, 50 Cent insists that his criticism of Diddy is not a reaction to the latest headlines but part of a long-standing position he’s held for years.
In defending his actions, 50 Cent explained that his remarks may seem more relevant now due to Diddy’s legal troubles, but they reflect his long-held views.
