Even with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs behind bars, it seems as if his beef with 50 Cent continues.

The musician was sentenced to four years and two months in prison earlier this year after a trial in New York, where a significant number of allegations were brought to light.

Former girlfriends including Cassie Ventura, appeared in court to give evidence against the 56-year-old, who had been arrested and accused of serious crimes, including sex trafficking and racketeering, charges that could have landed him a life sentence had he been found guilty.

However, Diddy was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and was handed a 50-month sentence, something fellow rapper 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson III, was quick to respond to.

Diddy has vehemently denied any involvement in the case.

Both men have been at each other’s throats for over two decades, with the beef allegedly starting back in 1999 when they worked together on Notorious B.I.G.’s posthumous album, Born Again.

Diddy’s son, Christian ‘King’ Combs, has recently taken to social media to voice his own frustration with 50 Cent.

He wrote on X: “On my dad, if I ever see 50 Cent, I’ll slap the f*** outta him.”

While the tweet was later deleted, it wasn’t removed quickly enough to stop 50 Cent from responding with his signature sharp humour.

He replied: “Lil bro, first, close your damn mouth when you take pictures. I been rich 3 different times, sold records, sold shows, sold liquor, sold power. You still living off Wi-Fi and legacy. Relax.”

Since the allegations about Diddy first came to light, 50 Cent has been extremely vocal about what he thinks of him online, despite the record producer previously suggesting that he actually ‘loves’ him.

During a 2018 episode of The Breakfast Club, Diddy said: “I don’t have no beef with Fif. He loves me. Y’all can’t see that he loves me? You really think that’s hate? You know he loves me.”

He added: “When he does that, it’s like funny to me. I don’t really take it personally. I know he has a different sense of humour. He’s just not in my life. We don’t have to never cross paths, and I will never say nothing negative about him, ’cause that’s just not me.”

It isn’t the only fun 50 Cent has had in the months since Diddy was taken to prison, as he also took to Instagram to suggest that he’d been sent flowers by his team in the wake of the documentary’s release.

However, this was quickly denied by Diddy’s legal team, with his lawyers calling the Netflix doc a ‘shameful hit piece’.

They added: “As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work.

“It is equally staggering that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson – a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs.”
