50 CENT RESPONDS AFTER BEING MENTIONED AT P DIDDY'S SEX TRAFFICKING TRIAL.
On social media, 50 Cent has been offering an opinion on Diddy's trial, although one that is heavily sarcastic. So, imagine the rapper's surprise when he noticed his own name crop up during court proceedings on Tuesday (27 May), as Capricorn Clark took the stand. In her testimony, Diddy's former assistant described violent acts she allegedly saw during her more than ten years of intermittent employment with the music tycoon.
She said that Diddy had frequently assaulted Cassie Ventura, abducted her at gunpoint before breaking into Kid Cudi's house, made her take a lie detector test for five days, and constantly threatened to kill her. Currently, Diddy, 55, is accused of sex trafficking, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, all of which he denies. He entered a not guilty plea. Former Bad Boy Entertainment global brand director Clark also described a day when Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, allegedly started a conversation regarding firearms.
According to CNN, she testified that after attending an MTV event in which 50 Cent had also participated, she heard the father of seven talk about owning a gun. The court heard that when Diddy revealed that he had "an issue" with the other rap artist, Clark was in an elevator with him and his ex-manager.
Clark claims that Diddy replied, "I really don't appreciate all the back and forth," when discussing how to resolve the matter. "I like guns; I don't do that," he said in a "very serious" tone. It didn't take 50 Cent long to realise he had been name-dropped because, as previously said, he has been closely monitoring the high-profile trial.
The 'I Get Money' musician, 49, seemed to see the funny side of the court testimony, as he took to Instagram to share his reaction. He posted what appears to be an AI-generated image of himself wearing a suit, standing in front of a camera crew, alongside the caption: "Cut, CUT. Wait a minute, PUFFY’s got a gun, I can’t believe this, I don’t feel safe LOL."
50 Cent then followed up with another similar snap of himself looking scared, next to the words: "Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low. I think I’m gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL."
