Rapper 50 Cent is no stranger to sharing his disapproval of Sean "Diddy" Combs' and he's done so once again, saying he "wasn't comfortable around him."
Combs—who has also been known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and Brother Love—is currently facing a series of ongoing investigations after he was hit by a slew of sexual assault lawsuits in late 2023 and early 2024. He has denied all allegations.
The music mogul's Los Angeles and Miami homes were also raided by Homeland Security on March 25, reportedly due to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation in New York. Combs' attorney Aaron Dyer has called the searches an "excessive show of force."
50 Cent—whose real name is Curtis Jackson—has had a long-running feud with Combs and during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the music mogul said he intentionally avoided Combs' famous "white parties."
Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for 50 Cent and Combs for comment on Wednesday.
When asked why he didn't attend the annual events, 50 Cent said: "[Combs] asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest s*** in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman. And I'm just like, 'Naw, I'm not f****** with this weird energy or weird s***,' coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn't comfortable around him."
He added: "I've been staying out of that s*** for years. It's just an uncomfortable energy connected to it."
50 Cent first met Combs as an unsigned artist and helped ghostwrite some of his hit songs. He said their relationship was completely professional.
"It was mostly work. I wouldn't call it a friendship because there wouldn't be disappointment between us if we didn't speak to each other," he told the publication.
"There's points that we worked together. Jennifer Lopez actually told him he should work with me as songwriter in the beginning. And I was around at the early stages, and he could have done my record deal at that point. This is following me being shot up, the Trackmasters deal [at Columbia Records, where Lopez was signed], and I'm just getting back to work, and he'd call me to write."
50 Cent said that when Combs would call, the mother of his son would answer, as he claims he didn't want to talk to him.
The feud between 50 Cent and Combs began in 2006 when 50 Cent released the diss track The Bomb. The song claimed that Combs knew who murdered rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1997.
The pair have publicly traded insults back and forth ever since. In December, 50 Cent announced that he is working on a documentary regarding the sexual assault allegations against Combs, developed through his G-Unit film and television company.
He previously shared a screenshot of a post from the Instagram account The Neighborhood Talk, which posts entertainment news. "Oop! Diddy Sued For Sex Trafficking After Former Porn Star Says He Demanded Oral Sex From Her Boyfriend In Order For Her To Get A Job With Sean John," the headline reads.
"WHAT HAPPEN 👀how much s*** was this fool doing? 😳LOL NAH I'm gonna need more episodes for this docu series," 50 Cent captioned the post. At the time of writing, the post is no longer available.
