In a recent interview, rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent opened up about his thoughts on the ongoing allegations against hip-hop moguls Diddy (Sean Combs) and Jay-Z. With the release of a new Netflix docuseries he’s been working on, 50 Cent discussed the unsettling signs he noticed in his interactions with Diddy and his reaction to the new claims against Jay-Z.
50 Cent revealed that he has always felt he knew Diddy’s character, but admitted that he was never part of the lavish party scene that Diddy is famous for. “I wasn’t going to those parties. I wasn’t living that lifestyle,” he said. Despite not being directly involved in that world, 50 Cent expressed that he did feel discomfort with how Diddy was represented, particularly in regard to the idea of people being invited to “come party with me.” This, he admitted, was one of the red flags that made him wary of Diddy’s world.
When it comes to the allegations that have recently surfaced, including claims from three men who have accused Diddy of drugging them, 50 Cent shared his surprise. “I was as shocked as everyone else when these things came out,” he explained. “I didn’t tell people to say these things. I found out when it hit the news, just like everyone else.” However, 50 Cent did note that the 20-year timeline of these allegations makes him feel uneasy, especially when people don’t remember being violated until decades later.
Turning the conversation toward Jay-Z, 50 Cent was asked about new allegations involving the rap mogul. “At first, I didn’t know what I was saying, but I remember thinking, ‘Where is Jay? Why is he staying so quiet while all this Diddy stuff is happening?’” 50 Cent confessed. “But it’s clear now that Jay’s team was aware of these allegations too.” The rapper expressed his hope that Jay-Z’s situation resolves well, especially for the sake of his family. Despite the seriousness of the accusations, 50 Cent acknowledged the complexity of these situations and the challenge of fully understanding them from the outside.
With the revelation of new accusations against two of the biggest names in the music industry, 50 Cent’s candid remarks offer an inside look at the struggles and red flags that shape his perceptions of Diddy and Jay-Z. The unfolding stories are sure to make waves across the entertainment world as fans and industry insiders alike process these shocking developments.
