Things have really escalated! Note to self: never mess with 50 Cent because his comebacks are just as fierce. Who would’ve thought 50 Cent would become a key player in Diddy’s drama? But here we are, folks, witnessing a situation that feels like El Chapo on steroids — a hip-hop edition with a cast of women involved, and I’m all in for the drama.
You’ve probably seen how 50 Cent has been going after Diddy, especially after the feds raided Diddy’s home. He first tweeted photos of the feds and Diddy’s sons in handcuffs, captioning it with a play on words: “It’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done.” This level of attention from law enforcement doesn’t happen without a serious case.
But what’s really unexpected is that Diddy’s ex, Daphany Joy, has been pulled into this embarrassing drama. In Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy, he claimed that Diddy boasted about financially supporting multiple women who provided services, including Daphne Joy, Diddy’s rumored partner Young Miami, and Instagram model Jade Ry. The lawsuit alleges that while most of Diddy’s associates were paid in cash, these women received monthly stipends for their services.
In an Instagram statement, Daphne vigorously denied all allegations and expressed deep hurt over the falsehoods in Lil Rod’s lawsuit. She stated unequivocally that every claim made by Lil Rod was completely untrue. Daphne also mentioned that she was engaging legal representation to explore all possible legal actions against Lil Rod and his attorney, Tyrone A. Blackburn.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent indirectly referenced Daphne in a social media post immediately after her name was mentioned, seemingly taking jabs at her in his commentary on mentions. Subsequently, reports surfaced that 50 Cent intended to pursue full custody of their son, Sire. Daphne openly criticized 50 Cent on Instagram, asserting, “Everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening now. You are causing genuine havoc, frenzy, and chaos in people’s lives. How would you feel if Sire was the one unjustly detained? We moved to New York to facilitate your role as a father, yet you only saw him 10 times in the 2 years we lived a mile away from you. I’m exhausted from maintaining an image of you to our son that you’ve never lived up to.”
Then Daphne dropped a bombshell, suggesting they focus on the real issue: 50 allegedly being similar to Diddy during their time together. She wrote, “You are no longer my oppressor, and my God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently shattered my last hope of you as a father preserving our family. With these final claims against me, you have broken our hearts for the last time.”
The situation took an intriguing turn, given 50’s consistent criticism of Diddy. After calling out Daphne, 50 posted on Instagram a picture of his TV playing a Fox News segment about Rod’s lawsuit. The segment alleged that Diddy had hidden cameras all over his home, capturing celebrities, music executives, and athletes engaging in illicit activities without their consent. 50, confident in his avoidance of Diddy’s parties, joked, “SMH, this is going to be so good. What do you want to bet I get these tapes? I’ll pay top dollar for them, baby.”
We might need to get more comfortable because I suspect these tapes will surface eventually, and when they do, we’ll all be in shock. That’s not all. In addition to the social media posts, 50 Cent’s representatives have confirmed he’s working on a documentary about the numerous allegations against Diddy. He’s also committed to donating the proceeds from these projects to the individuals who accused Diddy.
Now, back to Daphne. According to 50 Cent’s statement, he believes Daphne is making these claims to gain an advantage in their custody battle over their son. He had already informed her of his intention to seek sole custody. He stated, “The troubling accusations and legal filings related to Daphne Joy, the mother of my 12-year-old child, have compelled me to take necessary legal action to protect my son, Sire. Daphne’s recent false claims are clearly a response to my decision to pursue sole custody of our son.”
“My primary focus right now is ensuring the safety and well-being of my son, Sire,” said 50 Cent, emphasizing his commitment to his child’s welfare. He confirmed his intention to pursue sole custody in response to reports, sharing an article on Instagram with the headline “50 Cent reportedly seeking sole custody of son after ex Daphne was accused of being Diddy’s SW.” He captioned the post with, “It is what it is. See you in Family Court.”
Addressing Daphne’s actions, he also responded by highlighting her proximity to him in an attempt to facilitate co-parenting, sharing a photo of her with Diddy and commenting, “You moved closer hoping for us to have another child, but I was unavailable. Upon returning, you began receiving support from Brother Love. Now, this situation has unfolded.
You know what? Daphne’s recent allegations aren’t actually new. Back in 2013, 50 Cent pleaded not guilty to domestic violence charges after allegedly attacking Daphne in her home in June of that year. Reports stated that during an argument, he allegedly kicked Daphne in the stomach and caused damage to her property, including shattered chandeliers, broken furniture, a ransacked closet, a broken television, and a broken lamp. Following this incident, 50 Cent faced five criminal counts: one count of misdemeanor domestic violence and four counts of misdemeanor vandalism.
His attorney later informed TMZ that 50 Cent had reached a deal with prosecutors to have the domestic violence charge dropped. Instead, he pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor vandalism. He was sentenced to 3 years probation, 30 days of community service, mandated counseling sessions, and was required to pay $7,100 in restitution to Daphne.
These are the same accusations he is currently refuting, yet they have opened up a whole can of worms. Some are even questioning 50 Cent’s motives for seeking custody of his son, given that he was well aware of who he was dealing with before Daphne became pregnant. Moreover, until this point, Daphne has been regarded as a good mother, but recent revelations about her associations with one of 50 Cent’s rivals have cast doubt on her character. Would 50 Cent still be pursuing custody if these details had not surfaced? Is his primary concern truly the welfare of his child?
It’s important to remember that there have been other troubling reports about 50 Cent, including accusations of arson aimed at preventing his ex-partner Shaniqua and their son from residing in their home. His treatment of Shaniqua was also widely condemned.
Therefore, if he believes he can simply take Sire from Daphne without repercussions, he may need to reconsider, given his questionable track record. However, the situation is complex. People are wondering why Daphne would relocate herself and her son closer to 50 Cent if her claims about him are accurate. Ideally, a mediator should facilitate custody arrangements to avoid direct contact between them, rather than moving so close to someone with a history of anger issues.
This situation has unfolded unexpectedly, and I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this ongoing dispute between 50 Cent and his ex in the comments section below.
