50 Cent's Reaction to Diddy's Son's Diss Track Goes Viral

Sean "Diddy" Combs' son has released a diss track criticizing 50 Cent—and now the "In Da Club" hitmaker has responded.

Sean Combs—who has also been known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and Brother Love—is currently facing a series of ongoing investigations after he was hit by a slew of sexual assault lawsuits in late 2023 and early 2024. He has denied all allegations.

The music mogul's Los Angeles and Miami homes were also raided by Homeland Security on March 25, reportedly due to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation in New York. It is unclear if the investigation is linked to the lawsuits. Combs' attorney Aaron Dyer has called the searches an "excessive show of force."

Now Christian "King" Combs has defended his father in his new track called "Pick a Side," rapping: "Police raid the crib like they think we selling crack, but we out here selling tracks / multimillion dollar plaques."

He also referenced 50 Cent—real name Curtis James Jackson III—when he added: "When all they had was 50 Cent who put this city on the map?"

While Christian Combs may have hoped that this would have upset Jackson, it seems to have had the opposite effect.

Newsweek emailed spokespeople for Jackson and Sean and Christian Combs for comment on Monday.

Jackson uploaded a photo of Sean and Christian Combs to Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) with the tongue-in-cheek caption: "I feel so threatened by the things Christian is saying on his record. I'm afraid for my life, please don't hurt me guys. I never mentioned or posted anything about puffy's kids because KEEFE D said he killed 2Pac. [shrugging emoji]. LOL."

At the time of writing, his post on X had received 3.5 million views and his Instagram post had received 216,865 likes.

In another post on Instagram Jackson shared a different photo of the father and son and wrote: "Now why would you say some s*** like this [facepalm emoji] when you know the FEDS are investigating. IS YOU STUPID OR IS YOU DUMB? LOL."

The rapper has regularly mocked Combs on social media and in recent months has often been vocal about the various allegations that Sean Combs is facing. The pair have been feuding since 2006 when Jackson suggested in a track that Combs knew who killed The Notorious BIG in 1997.

This long-running feud seemed to escalate after Jackson's ex and mother of his son, Daphne Joy, was named in a misconduct lawsuit filed against Combs. Joy was identified in the lawsuit against Combs as someone he had allegedly paid for sex.

Jackson has since referred to Joy as a "little sex worker" on multiple occasions, including alongside a photo of her with Combs. He then confirmed he would seek sole custody of their son, Sire, 11, based on the allegations.

Federal Raids

Homeland Security Investigations said in a statement released in March that it had "executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners."

In response to the raids and subsequent media coverage, Combs' attorney, Aaron Dyer, told Newsweek in an email on March 26: "There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.

"This unprecedented ambush—paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence—leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits," Dyer added. "There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."

In a lawsuit filed against Combs in February and amended on March 25, music producer Rodney Jones accused Combs of coercing him to solicit prostitutes and then pressuring him to have sex with them. Jones alleged in the lawsuit that he was sexually harassed, drugged and threatened by Combs for more than a year. Jones produced several tracks on Combs' The Love Album: Off the Grid and is seeking $30 million in damages.

Combs' attorney Shawn Holley has disputed the allegations, previously telling Newsweek that "we have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies."
