The G-Unit mogul 50 Cent wasted no time after his name was dropped in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex-trafficking case still taking place. Diddy's ex-assistant Capricorn Clark dropped a bombshell from the witness stand, saying the Bad Boy honcho had a 10-year vendetta with 50, according to an exclusive new clip obtained by TMZ. The friction supposedly exploded at an MTV press event when Diddy is said to have told his then-manager, Chris Lighty, "I don't do all the back and forth … I deal with guns."
Most people, at this point, would shut up after their name came up in federal court. 50 quickly spun the moment into meme fodder with his signature mix of sarcasm, shade, and straight-up internet chaos.
The 'In Da Club' rapper took to Instagram to drop several posts. First up? A shot of him hanging courtside for the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, sporting what seemed to be a "Free Diddy" T-shirt. But he carefully clarified in a follow-up video with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton that it was Balmain.
Then 50 shared an AI-generated picture of himself with a wide-eyed, panicked expression, captioned: "Oh my goodness, itty bitty Diddy comes to smurf me. I need to find a little hiding spot. For a while, I think I am going to be at the playoff game tonight. LOL."
Then there was another gut punch, "WHOA WHOA PUFFY has a gun, I don't feel safe here. LOL." It's obvious then that while Diddy is fighting serious allegations in court, 50 is fighting the urge not to clown the shit out of him.
And in case you were wondering about that "itty bitty Diddy" line, it's just 50 being 50. The line came up earlier this month in a different lawsuit when a woman claimed that Combs had raped her in 2001. In her shocking lawsuit, she described the hip-hop titan's junk in less-than-glowing terms, comparing it to a "color, size and shape of a large Tootsie Roll."
It's not as if 50 Cent has any official role in the matter, but that hasn't deterred him from handling the case like an episode of Power, except in real life. He's bringing an executive producer-level of petty along with him on Instagram.
The federal trial isn't over yet, and while there are serious legal issues at stake in the courtroom, the internet's focus has decidedly turned toward 50 Cent's roast parade, and there's no end in sight. If you ever find yourself embroiled in a scandal, the last person you want checking in on the sidelines is 50 Cent with a Wi-Fi connection.
