The feud between US rap moguls 50 Cent and Sean “Diddy” Combs has escalated significantly over the years, turning into one of hip-hop’s most notorious rivalries. While the two were once friends, their relationship soured in the early 2000s, and tensions have flared repeatedly ever since.
Their fallout is rooted in various moments, including 50 Cent’s song “The Bomb,” where he hints that Diddy might have had insider knowledge about the murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G. in 1997. Though no concrete evidence has ever been provided, these accusations added fuel to the fire. Over the years, the feud has continued to escalate, with personal jabs and public criticisms exchanged between the two.
Recent developments, including Diddy’s 2024 arrest on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution, have pushed their rivalry back into the spotlight. 50 Cent, known for being outspoken and quick to capitalize on controversy, has taken full advantage of the situation. He’s been working on a documentary about Diddy’s legal troubles, which Netflix has now acquired. Titled *Diddy Do It?*, the multi-part series will delve into allegations of sexual abuse, rape, and trafficking against the Bad Boy Records founder.
50 Cent hasn’t held back in mocking Diddy either, particularly after reports surfaced about federal agents seizing thousands of bottles of lubricant during raids on Diddy’s properties. 50 Cent recently posted a picture of himself with actress Drew Barrymore, humorously distancing himself from Diddy’s alleged activities by captioning that he didn’t own “1,000 bottles of lube.”
As more details about Diddy’s legal troubles come to light and with 50 Cent’s documentary soon to hit Netflix, this feud shows no signs of cooling down, making it one of the most high-profile and enduring beefs in hip-hop history.
