50 Cent has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind, and his decade-long feud with hip-hop mogul Diddy is no exception. In a recent interview with People, the rapper doubled down on his outspoken criticism of Diddy, explaining that he’s been calling out the music mogul for over 10 years—and he’s not stopping now.
“I’m not doing anything outrageous, I’m just saying what I’ve been saying for 10 years,” 50 Cent said, defending his continued comments about Diddy’s controversial behavior. The rapper’s remarks come amid Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles, including an arrest related to abuse allegations, which Diddy has strongly denied. Despite the serious accusations, 50 Cent stands by his decision to speak out against the mogul.
50 Cent also clarified his stance on the notorious parties Diddy is known for. “They don’t want me to throw the parties anymore, but we’re not going to stop. We’ll keep on having fun, bringing people together from all walks of life,” he shared. Despite the focus on extravagant, sometimes wild parties, 50 Cent emphasized that he’s simply not into that lifestyle. “I’m just not with all that freaky stuff. I’m a little more basic, or normal,” he admitted.
The tension between 50 Cent and Diddy has been a long-standing issue, with the two frequently taking jabs at each other over the years. However, it wasn’t always hostile between them. In a 2014 interview on Real 92.3, 50 Cent referred to their relationship as “competitive” rather than a full-blown feud, adding that he respects Diddy’s work ethic. But in later years, both have thrown shade at each other, with 50 Cent making it clear he has no intention of backing down.
Diddy, for his part, has denied any animosity with 50 Cent, even during a 2017 Breakfast Club interview where he said, “He loves me. I don’t think he likes you, though,” referring to the rapper. Yet, despite these public exchanges, 50 Cent remains firm in his position.
The rapper is now working on a Netflix documentary that will explore the legal allegations against Diddy, which include racketeering and sex trafficking. As the case continues to unfold, 50 Cent is determined to use the platform to share his perspective on the controversial mogul’s actions.
While Diddy has maintained his innocence and vowed to fight the charges, 50 Cent’s documentary is set to bring even more attention to the ongoing drama. And as he’s done for the past decade, the rapper shows no sign of holding back in his criticism of Diddy.
