50 Cent has never been one to shy away from taking jabs at his fellow celebrities, and his long-standing feud with Diddy has just gained some fresh material.

The rapper recently shared a now-deleted Instagram post that brought attention to an outrageous lawsuit filed against the hip-hop mogul. A News Nation article headline read: “Diddy sued by Sinaloa cartel member for allegedly ruining drug business,” which quickly became fodder for 50 Cent’s ongoing trolling campaign.

The lawsuit, filed in May by Alfredo P. Gonzalez, a man currently incarcerated at the Centennial Correctional Facility in Colorado, is as strange as it is shocking. Gonzalez claims that in 2021, he received a phone call from one of Diddy’s “business partners,” who allegedly proposed business deals between Diddy and the notorious Sinaloa Cartel. The lawsuit further alleges that Diddy made disturbing requests involving international underage sex trafficking, followed by threats when Gonzalez refused to comply. Gonzalez is seeking $666,000 in damages for the alleged incidents.

This isn’t the first time Gonzalez has made headlines for filing peculiar lawsuits. In 2023, he filed a case against several high-profile figures and government agencies, including President Joe Biden, the FBI, CIA, ATF, and NSA. Gonzalez’s claims in that suit were equally bizarre, alleging that President Biden was behind an operation called “Operation Kill KINGLUCIFER,” which he claimed was an effort to assassinate him. He further stated that he was forced to listen to messages from a communication satellite and take psychotropic drugs against his will to provide intelligence information. Gonzalez demanded a staggering $700 billion in damages and requested to be “disconnected from government satellite.” Unsurprisingly, this lawsuit was also dismissed.

While 50 Cent has used this lawsuit as an opportunity to troll Diddy, the Bad Boy Records founder is dealing with more serious legal troubles. Last month, Diddy was accused of demanding oral sex from the boyfriend of an adult film star in a sex trafficking lawsuit. Although the Miami Beach PD found insufficient evidence to investigate, the report has been forwarded to federal authorities who are already looking into multiple allegations against Diddy.
