Rapper 50 Cent has once again stirred controversy by provoking his longtime rival, Sean “Diddy” Combs, following the verdict in Diddy’s high-profile sex trafficking trial. The court found Diddy guilty of two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act, but acquitted him of three additional charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking through coercion. These rulings came after testimony from singer Cassie Ventura and another woman identified as Jane.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, wasted no time in reacting. He took to Instagram almost immediately, expressing both sarcasm and surprise at the outcome.
“Diddy beat the feds, that boy bad! Beat RICO, he’s the gay John Gotti,” he wrote—referencing the notorious mafia boss known as “The Teflon Don,” who famously escaped multiple convictions. The post instantly went viral and reignited the flames of their decades-long rivalry.

A feud reignited
The tension between 50 Cent and Diddy stretches back many years, rooted in business conflicts, personal attacks, and public mockery. Throughout Diddy’s trial, 50 Cent repeatedly ridiculed him online, even sharing AI-generated images to intensify his jabs. While his posts were clearly intended to provoke, the rapper also took a moment to acknowledge Diddy’s ability to avoid harsher legal outcomes, calling him a true “OG” in the music industry.
However, the drama is far from over. Diddy still faces up to 10 years in prison for the charges he was convicted of. And 50 Cent appears determined to keep the spotlight on his rival. He recently announced plans to produce a documentary that will dive deep into the allegations against Diddy. The rapper promises to expose exclusive, never-before-seen details related to one of the most explosive scandals in the entertainment world.
With legal troubles still looming and a documentary on the way, it’s clear that the saga between 50 Cent and Diddy is far from finished.
