NCS has reached out to representatives for 50 Cent for extra remark.
Combs has pleaded not responsible to fees of racketeering conspiracy, intercourse trafficking and transportation to interact in prostitution.
50 Cent has lengthy been a vocal critic of Combs, together with after NCS’s publication of surveillance video that confirmed Combs bodily assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in 2016.
In September 2024, 50 Cent announced he was engaged on a docuseries for Netflix about Combs that would come with “disturbing” allegations. NCS reached out to representatives for 50 Cent and Netflix for remark at the time.
Here’s a look again at how there got here to be animosity between the two males:
In 2006, 50 Cent launched a diss monitor titled “The Bomb,” which featured sounds of gunfire and his allegation that Combs knew the identification of the killer of Christopher Wallace, the rapper referred to as The Notorious B.I.G.
Wallace, who was each a protégée of and finest good friend to Combs, was gunned down in Los Angeles in March 1997 as he and his crew, which included Combs, have been touring in a caravan. Combs was in a totally different car from the one Wallace was in at the time Wallace was shot.
No one has ever been charged with the homicide.
In his diss monitor, 50 Cent raps, “I guess this means I won’t be invited to the white parties in the Hamptons,” referencing Combs’ well-known soirées held in the upscale New York group.
50 Cent has also said he believes Combs is related to the 1996 homicide of rapper Tupac Shakur.
Combs referred to as such allegations “nonsense” in a 2016 interview with the syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club.” He has by no means been charged in connection to both case.
Followers of 50 Cent are conversant in his fame for sharp feedback and social media trolling.
The rapper-turned-television-producer has made Combs a frequent goal, attacking every part from his music to his age.
Some believed it was largely advertising, particularly given the males’s parallel profession tracks and even competing vodkas at one level.
But 50 upped his feedback after Combs was sued in November 2023 by Cassie Ventura, who in a now-settled civil criticism alleged that Combs raped her in 2018 and abused her over the greater than decade they have been in an off-and-on relationship (Combs denied the allegations).
After federal investigators searched Combs’ houses in Miami and Los Angeles in March 2024, 50 Cent posted on X, “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done. They don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
Combs was requested about the stress between him and 50 Cent during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club” in 2018.
“I don’t have no beef with Fif. He loves me,” Combs stated. “Y’all can’t see that he loves me? You really think that’s hate? … You know he loves me.”
He added that he didn’t take the issues 50 Cent says about him severely.
“When he does that it’s like funny to me,” Combs stated at the time. “I don’t really take it personal. I know he has a different sense of humor, and he’s just not in my life. We don’t have to never cross paths, and I will never say nothing negative about him, you know, because that’s just not me.”
Christian Combs, who goes by King Combs, is the 26-year-old son of Diddy. In May 2024 he launched a track titled “Pick a Side” in help of his father and taking intention at critics like 50 Cent.
The youthful Combs and his brother, Justin, have been briefly handcuffed and detained by authorities during the March 2024 search on their father’s residence. Neither was arrested or charged.
Aaron Dyer, Diddy’s lawyer, stated in a assertion to NCS at the time that “there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”
King Combs appeared to profess his father’s innocence in his monitor and took a swipe at 50 Cent.
“All that gossip sh*t is whack when all they had was 50 Cent / Who put this city on the map? / Stop lying,” the youthful Combs raps.
50 Cent responded with a tongue-in-cheek publish on social media.
“I feel so threatened by the things Christian is saying on his record,” he wrote in a since-delated post on Instagram, in line with Billboard. “I’m afraid for my life, please don’t hurt me guys.”
