Bad Boy founder Sean “Diddy” Combs found himself in hot water earlier this year. In March, the hip-hop mogul’s homes were raided by the FBI and Homeland Security. Combs is an apparent person of interest in an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
The claims against Diddy are no laughing matter. But despite the severity of his legal troubles, many have made light of the charges against Diddy. Rapper and New York native Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has been at the forefront of those kicking Diddy in his lowest moment.
Diddy’s Son Takes Aim at 50 Cent
While Diddy has yet to respond to 50’s jabs, his son, Christian, has come to his defense in a newly released song. The song was debuted by well-known hip-hop blogger DJ Akademiks on May 13.
“Diddy’s son Christian a.k.a. King Combs is now knee-deep in the 2024 Rap Wars — dropping a diss track tackling rumors about the federal raids, and taking aim at his father’s biggest rival … 50 Cent!!!” TMZ wrote.
“On the song, King dismisses the federal raids as being off the mark, suggesting 50 Cent is the government’s true prize … and goes off into a lyrical flurry that connects 50 with his song “Many Men,” his Queens hometown, and Eminem into the mix.”
Rapper Dealing With Own Legal Trouble
50 Cent has poked fun at Diddy amid his current situation. But the Get Rich or Die Tryin‘ rapper is battling some legal troubles of his own.
The incident occurred last summer during the Los Angeles stop of his “Final Lap” tour. One of the microphones provided to the G-Unit rapper wasn’t working. Rather than passing it to the stage crew, 50 hurled it into the crowd.
That’s when the microphone hit Power 106 DJ Bryhana Monegain. Per TMZ, the Queens rapper was able to avoid criminal charges for striking Monegain. But the Power 106 host is still suing 50 for the injuries she suffered as a result of the incident.
“According to the suit once 50 realized his mic was malfunctioning, he opted to throw it in the crowd, where Bryhana claims it struck her in the face and wrist… resulting in severe and permanent injuries,” TMZ reports.
