The feud between 50 Cent and Diddy has taken a new turn as the former has mocked the latter over a new sexual assault lawsuit filed by a producer who worked with him.

Lil Rod, who collaborated with Diddy on his latest project The Love Album: Off the Grid, has accused the Bad Boy Records founder of sexual harassment, drugging, and threatening him for a year.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, has strongly denied the allegations, with his lawyer Shawn Holley calling them “baseless and frivolous”. However, that did not stop 50 Cent from adding fuel to the fire by trolling Diddy on social media.

50 Cent trolls Diddy in post and delete fashion

In a series of since-deleted Instagram posts, the G-Unit rapper screenshotted a headline about the lawsuit and wrote:

“Aww shit, I’m on the floor dead somebody bring me back to life.” He also said: “Maybe this is a big misunderstanding. I just don’t go to the man’s parties. This is just not my kinda vibe.”

50 Cent also posted pictures of Diddy in close embraces with fellow rivals Rick Ross and Floyd Mayweather, implying that they were about to kiss. He captioned one of the photos:

“This is what happens when you go to Puffy’s parties. SMH.”

Lil Rod’s suit against Diddy

Lil Rod, whose real name is Rodney Jones Jr., claims in his lawsuit that his former boss forced him to procure sex workers and engage in sexual activity with them. He also alleges that Diddy made him work in his bathroom as he showered naked and that he repeatedly touched him without consent.

He claimed to have woken up in bed with two sex workers with no memory of what happened. He suspects that he was drugged by Diddy, who he claims spiked alcoholic drinks that were served to women at his home, some of whom were underage.

The lawsuit also involves other notable names, such as Diddy’s son Justin Combs and Bad Boy producer Stevie J. Lil Rod alleges that the rap mogul had them solicit underage sex workers to attend parties at his mansion. He also claims that he witnessed Diddy and Justin getting into a shootout at a recording studio, which resulted in another person being shot in the stomach.

Diddy’s lawsuits and 50 Cent’s documentary

This is not the first time that Diddy has faced sexual assault allegations. In November 2023, his ex-girlfriend Cassie filed a lawsuit against him for physical and sexual abuse, which he quickly settled. He is also facing three other lawsuits in New York for similar charges.

50 Cent, who has been feuding with Diddy for over two decades, has reportedly been planning to produce a documentary on Diddy’s sexual assault allegations, titled “Diddy Do It or Not”. He has also joked about buying Diddy’s media network REVOLT, which he stepped down as chairman of in the wake of the lawsuits.
