Rapper and business mogul 50 Cent has again turned his long-standing rivalry with Sean “Diddy” Combs into a public spectacle, using artificial intelligence to troll the embattled mogul amid his upcoming trial.

As jury selection began this week for Diddy’s federal racketeering and sex trafficking case, 50 Cent posted an AI-generated image on Instagram depicting himself as every juror, each wearing a different colored suit, accompanied by the caption, “I’m not sure if this is fair but don’t worry, be happy!”

The image, shared on May 9, has sparked a mix of laughter and debate online, with fans and critics weighing in on the humor and ethics of 50 Cent’s antics.

The 49-year-old Queens native, known for his sharp wit and ongoing feud with Diddy, has a history of mocking his rival, often referencing past allegations and legal troubles.

This latest move comes as Diddy, 55, prepares to face trial starting May 12 on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, following his rejection of a plea deal last week.

In the AI-generated artwork, 50 Cent is shown sitting in every juror seat, smirking at the camera, a clear jab at the trial’s high stakes.

The caption nods to Diddy’s 1997 hit I’ll Be Missing You, adding a layer of irony to the trolling. Posts found on social media platforms like X show fans enjoying the stunt, with some calling it “genius trolling,” while others question its tastefulness given the serious nature of the allegations against Diddy, which involve claims of coerced sexual performances over two decades.

Diddy’s legal team has not commented on 50 Cent’s post, focusing instead on the trial preparations. Meanwhile, 50 Cent has doubled down, sharing additional clips on his social media, including a throwback to a 2023 interview where he recounted an awkward encounter with Diddy offering to take him shopping—an anecdote he framed as “weird energy.”

The rivalry, rooted in decades of competitive jabs, has intensified with Diddy’s legal woes, providing 50 Cent ample material for his satirical commentary.
