In a candid interview with PEOPLE, rapper 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, has defended his vocal stance against Sean “Diddy” Combs, following the latter’s recent legal issues, including charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs, 54, was arrested on September 16 at a Manhattan hotel, just a day before the charges were made public. He has pleaded not guilty to all allegations.
50 Cent, 49, has been vocal about Combs’ alleged behaviors for over a decade, often using humor during performances and on social media to address the Bad Boy mogul’s lifestyle. He stated, “It seems like I’m doing some extremely outrageous things, but I haven’t. It’s really me just saying what I’ve been saying for 10 years.” He emphasized that his commentary is rooted in his perspective, saying, “I stayed away from that stuff the entire time, because this is not my style.”
The feud between 50 Cent and Diddy dates back to 2006, ignited by 50’s diss track “The Bomb,” where he insinuated that Combs was connected to the murder of the Notorious B.I.G. Combs has consistently denied these allegations, yet the rivalry has continued to build, especially as both artists represent competing vodka brands.
In light of Diddy’s current legal challenges, 50 Cent has announced plans to produce a documentary that will explore the accusations against Combs. He, alongside director Alexandria Stapleton, stated, “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.” The documentary aims to provide a voice to those affected and to offer a nuanced view of the situation, asserting that “Sean Combs’s story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture.”
A representative for Combs declined to comment on 50 Cent’s recent statements. As the situation develops, 50 Cent’s documentary promises to shed light on the intricate dynamics of the hip hop industry and the broader implications of individual actions within the culture.
