50 Cent Praises Eddie Murphy After Wild Ventriloquist Skit Mocking Him & Diddy Goes Viral

The internet didn’t expect this crossover.
Hollywood didn’t expect it.
Even 50 Cent didn’t expect it.

But Eddie Murphy — comedy legend, impression icon, the man who can mimic ANYONE — just set social media on fire after performing a ventriloquist-style act featuring puppet versions of 50 Cent and Diddy. And when the clip hit X and Instagram, fans couldn’t decide whether to scream, cry laughing, or clutch their pearls.

The reactions were chaos.
The memes were instant.
And within hours, 50 Cent himself jumped in.

His verdict?

“Eddie Murphy mad talented. That man did me and Diddy better than we do ourselves.”

Suddenly the internet wanted full context, the full story, and the full explanation of how this even happened. So here it is — the entire breakdown of one of the funniest, strangest celebrity moments of the year.

How It Started: Eddie Murphy’s Surprise Performance

The moment took place during a private industry event in Los Angeles — the type of night where A-list actors, directors, producers, and musicians hang out in the same room pretending not to be starstruck by each other. Eddie Murphy was asked to do a short comedy bit, nothing scripted, nothing planned.

He walked onstage carrying a small duffel bag.

Nobody expected what came next.

Murphy unzipped the bag…
Pulled out two puppets…
One dressed like 50 Cent in a G-Unit hoodie…
And one wearing sunglasses and a shiny faux fur jacket that could only be inspired by Diddy.

The room lit up. Phones came out. Laughter erupted even before Murphy said a word.

Then he started the act.

What made the crowd explode wasn’t the puppets…

It was the voices.

Eddie Murphy’s Impressions: Too Accurate, Too Fast, Too Funny

Murphy switched between 50 Cent’s deep, slightly sarcastic tone and Diddy’s smooth, confident delivery with impossible speed. People couldn’t believe how flawlessly he captured their mannerisms — the way 50 squints one eye when he’s annoyed, the way Diddy gestures with both hands like he’s conducting an orchestra.

But then came the moment that made the clip viral:

Murphy made the puppets argue.

The 50 Cent puppet:
“You still owe me for that cheesecake walk, Puff.”

The Diddy puppet:
“Why you always bringing up old stuff, Fif?”

The room erupted.

Even actors who never laugh — the serious, prestige-film types — were doubled over. It wasn’t just accurate. It wasn’t just funny. It was so realistic that fans online said it felt “spiritually dangerous.”

Within minutes, someone posted the video.
Within an hour, it was everywhere.
By sunrise, it became the No. 1 trending clip on X.

50 Cent Responds — And Shows Eddie Murphy Nothing but Respect

When the video hit his timeline, 50 Cent didn’t get offended. He didn’t snap back. He didn’t issue a threat (as he famously does when rappers clown him).

Instead, he posted:

“Eddie Murphy is mad talented. That man did a ventriloquist act of me and Puff so good I had to double-check who was talking.”

Fans were shocked.
People started quoting the post.
Even celebrities chimed in, calling the moment “cinematic comedy gold.”

What surprised everyone most was that 50 didn’t take a shot at Diddy — even though their rivalry goes back years. Instead, he kept the focus on Murphy’s talent, calling the act:

“Pure genius. Legendary stuff.”

He then joked:

“Eddie, don’t ever do me THAT good again. I can’t compete with a puppet version of myself.”

Why the Moment Hit So Hard

On the surface: it’s funny.
Underneath: it’s genius.

Here’s why the internet can’t stop talking about it.

1. Eddie Murphy is one of the greatest impressionists ever

And people love seeing him return to raw, unscripted comedy. No cameras. No edits. Just talent.

2. 50 Cent + Diddy = the internet’s favorite rivalry

Their beef has provided memes for years. Seeing both represented as puppets? Comedy gold.

3. Celebrities rarely laugh at themselves

But this time, even the people being teased enjoyed it.

4. It’s relief during heavy times

The entertainment world has been dealing with scandals, lawsuits, and drama. A harmless, joyful moment? People needed that.

What This Means for Eddie Murphy

Suddenly fans are begging for:

a Netflix special

a comedy tour

a puppet-themed sketch show

a remake of “The Nutty Professor,” but with rappers

even an animated series starring puppet versions of hip-hop icons

Some joked that Murphy should host the Grammys. Others said Hollywood should “protect Eddie at all costs.”

Comedy doesn’t go viral like music or politics — but when it does, it hits HARD. And Murphy just reminded the world why he’s still one of the most naturally gifted performers alive.

What This Means for 50 Cent and Diddy

For Diddy, the internet reaction was mixed — some fans laughed, others said he wouldn’t be happy about it. (He hasn’t commented.)

For 50 Cent, though, this was a win. It showed he can take a joke, that he can hype another artist’s talent, and that he doesn’t always need to clap back with aggression.

The culture noticed.
