Everything 50 Cent Has Said About Diddy Raid
Rapper 50 Cent has arguably been the most vocal celebrity after federal authorities raided the homes of his contemporary, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
50 Cent— whose given name is Curtis Jackson— has had a long-running feud with Combs—who has also been known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and Brother Love throughout his career— which seemed to escalate after his ex and mother of his son, Daphne Joy, was named in a misconduct lawsuit filed against Combs.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) conducted a large-scale operation at Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles on Monday for what the Associated Press reported was a sex trafficking investigation. Diddy was not arrested and charges have not been pressed against anyone at the time of writing.
ombs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, slammed the raid on Tuesday calling it “a gross overuse of military-level force” and “a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits,” in a statement to Newsweek.
The music mogul has been on the receiving end of multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct. The most recent came from music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones who accused Combs of alleged multiple crimes while working with him for 13 months from 2022.
Some of the things Jones accused Combs of were sex trafficking, forcing him to procure sex workers and then have sex with them, partying with underaged girls, forced drug taking, grooming, pressure to lie about an alleged shooting and manipulation. One of the claims in the suit was that Combs bragged that he paid a “monthly stipend” to three women, including Jackson’s ex Daphne Joy, for sexual services.
Combs denied Jones’ claims and his representatives referred Newsweek to a February 26 statement from his attorney Shawn Holley following repeated requests for comment.
“Mr. Jones is nothing more than a con man, shamelessly looking for an easy and wholly undeserved payday. We have indisputable, incontrovertible proof that his claims are complete fabrications,” Holley said.
Jones filed the lawsuit in February but submitted an amended suit on Monday, which has gained a lot of attention amid the HSI raids on Combs’ homes.
It also caught the attention of Jackson who has shared multiple posts on his social media about the allegations and Joy, constantly labeling her a “sex worker,” even though she publicly denied it.
Here’s everything he’s said about Diddy so far. Newsweek contacted Jackson’s representatives by email for comment.

Jackson took to X, formerly Twitter, where he shared screenshots of news reports about the raids.
“Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done 🤷🏽♂️they don’t come like that unless they got a case,” he captioned the post.
