50 Cent continues his public feud with Sean "Diddy" Combs, following recent testimony in Combs' racketeering and sex trafficking trial.
Capricorn Clark, a former assistant to Combs, testified that Combs confronted 50 Cent's then-manager, Chris Lighty, about their ongoing conflict. According to Clark, Combs allegedly said, "I don't like all the back and forth. I like guns."
50 Cent responded to this testimony on social media, mocking Combs' alleged statement. He posted photos and captions joking about feeling unsafe and needing to hide.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. 50 Cent has been a vocal critic of Combs, especially after the release of a surveillance video showing Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura.
Their animosity dates back to 2006, when 50 Cent released a diss track accusing Combs of knowing the identity of The Notorious B.I.G.'s killer. He has also accused Combs of involvement in Tupac Shakur's murder, allegations Combs has denied.
Despite the ongoing tension, Combs stated in 2018 that he doesn't have "beef" with 50 Cent and considers his comments humorous. However, 50 Cent's criticism intensified after the lawsuit filed against Combs by Cassie Ventura.
Diddy's son, Christian Combs, released a song in May 2024 defending his father and criticizing 50 Cent. 50 Cent responded with a sarcastic post, feigning fear over the lyrics.
