50 Cent has responded to bombshell claims the mother of his son is the 'sex worker' named in a $30m lawsuit against Diddy, which claims the latter paid a monthly fee for sexual services to Daphne Joy.

50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, posted on X, formerly Twitter, today, writing: 'I didn't know you was a sex worker [side eye emoji] you little sex worker. LOL [laughing emoji] Yo this s**t is a movie'.

The rapper of 'In Da Club' and 'P.I.M.P.' fame followed the post with a link to his merch store and two pictures of him smoking a large cigar, holding an umbrella in front of a Cadillac SUV.

Daphne Joy, who dated 50 Cent between 2011 and 2012, was this week named in a lawsuit brought against fellow artist Diddy by an alleged victim of sexual abuse amid a slew of damning allegations made in recent months.

When news broke earlier this week of a 'military level force' raid related to a sex trafficking probe on Diddy's homes, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson was the only major music figure to speak out about the shocking development.

Earlier this week, 50 Cent posted on X: 'Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done they don't come like that unless they got a case'. The rapper also promised to finance a documentary on the allegations. Diddy has denied all accusations of wrongdoing.

Diddy is currently facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits, including one from producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, one of Diddy's former record producers.

He filed a lawsuit against the rapper claiming he was ordered to recruit sex workers and have sex with them for the star's pleasure, and has hundreds of hours of video documenting Diddy's 'serious illegal activity' between 2022 and 2023.

How Diddy has been the focus of five separate lawsuits with claims spanning three decades in the last few months even before feds carried out dual raids on his LA and Miami mansions as part of a sex-trafficking investigation 

Jones also accuses Daphne Joy, who dated 50 Cent between 2011 and 2012 of being someone who Diddy regularly paid for sex.

The accusations are contained in the 73-page lawsuit, in which Jones claims Diddy also subjected him to a year of groping and 'constant unsolicited touching of his anus'.

Daphne Joy, a prominent OnlyFans model, formerly dated 50 Cent and gave birth to their son, Sire, now 11, in September 2012.

Sire won a $700,000 contract to be the face of children's headphones company Kidz Safe while still a toddler. 

When the couple broke up, Joy accused him of being physically abusive, something the singer known as 'Fiddy' denied.

The Philippines-born Joy, 37, rose to fame with roles in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Setup and the TV movie Venice Heat.

Since then, 50 Cent has regularly commented on a purported relationship between Diddy and Joy. 

The Get Rich or Die Tryin' star has also been outspoken in his social media commentary on his rival rapper and the surge of lawsuits threatening to destroy the Diddy's empire.

On Instagram, he shared what appeared to be a promotional image for an 'original docu series' entitled 'Diddy do it?', promising to finance an expose on the shocking allegations.

'I can confirm that the untitled Diddy documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson serving as Executive Produce,' a spokesperson for the rapper and G-Unit Film/TV confirmed in a statement shared with Billboard.

'Proceeds from this documentary that G-Unit Film & Television receives will go to victims of sexual assault and rape.'

While relations between the two men may have deteriorated since Joy was named in the lawsuit, the pair have repeatedly sniped at each other since Jackson released a track in 2006 claiming that Diddy, real name Sean Combs, knew who shot and killed rap pioneer The Notorious B.I.G. in 1997.

When Diddy stepped down from his TV network Revolt, 50 Cent jokingly offered to buy and take over the media company.

On December 3, 2023, he also shared a bizarre edit with Diddy and R. Kelly's faces merged together to the disgraced musician's 1998 song Did You Ever Think. 

Following that post, he commented in a post with a screenshot of a New York Times article questioning if Combs would survive the current wave of accusations. 

'No he will be fine,' he wrote, according to XXL Magazine. 'He has so much money, when his corporate partners pull out. He will just reach in his pockets and make it happen. You saw how fast he paid Cassie. He's a real Billionaire, he has f*** you money guys, so f*** you!'

But a bombshell $30 million lawsuit by Rodney Jones, a former producer for Sean 'Diddy' Combs claims that Combs paid Joy a stipend for her sexual services 

This week, Combs' homes were raided, pictures exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com showing several disheveled rooms, bedrooms turned over and drawers rifled through, as the rapper faces multiple allegations accusing him of sexual and physical abuse.

Upon walking toward the entrance, a massive gate was seen clearly broken and off its hinges with several holes in the door and breaks in the concrete.

Photos show multiple doorframes that appear to have been damaged and several bedrooms left a mess with everything from clothing and receipts lying around. 

Other video shows how thoroughly the mogul's laptops and other devices have been gone through, before showing unsettled kitchen appliances.

Two officials told AP the raids were part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation. They spoke on condition of anonymity and were not authorized to publicly discuss details of the investigation. 

A source also told NBC three women and a man had been interviewed by federal officials in Manhattan over allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.

Interviews with three other subjects are also scheduled, the source claimed.

A man accused of being Diddy's drug mule was also arrested on Monday as authorities raided the mansions. 

Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested by Miami-Dade Police, alongside Homeland Security agents, at Opa-Locka Airport in Miami about 4:30 p.m. on Monday while authorities raided Diddy's mansions. 

A lawyer representing a woman accusing Diddy of rape in the 1990s said of the raid: 'Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.'

Tyrone Blackburn, an attorney for accusers Rodney Jones Jr. and Liza Gardner, greeted the news in a statement to Rolling Stone.

'It's about damn time,' Blackburn said. 'Sometimes justice delayed is not justice denied, so long as justice ultimately arrives.'

Aaron Dyer, an attorney for the rapper, broke Combs' silence just over 24 hours after the Homeland Security investigation with a statement to DailyMail.com. 

'Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residences.

'There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,' Dyer said.

'Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities,' he added.

'Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.'

'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 continued.

Four women, including Diddy's long-term girlfriend, filed shocking lawsuits against the rapper late last year, accusing him of abuse and sexual assault.

The rapper, who earned a fortune through music as producer and artist with the Bad Boy Entertainment record label, was accused of rape, sex-trafficking a minor, assault and a slew of additional alleged abuses.

Ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura accused him of rape and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes in front of him. She also accused him of repeated physical abuses.

Combs denied the allegations and settled the suit.

In November, Joi Dickerson-Neal accused Combs of drugging and raping her in 1991, recording the abuse and sharing it without permission.

Liza Gardner then filed a third suit in late November 2023, also accusing him of sexual and physical abuse.

According to a lawsuit obtained by AP, the alleged incidents also occurred in the early 1990s.

Gardner said she was coerced into having sex and then pinned down by R&B singer Aaron Hall and forced to have sex with him too.

Her friend was also allegedly coerced into having sex with Combs and Hall.

The suit alleged Combs later went to the women's home to discourage them from reporting what happened.

Combs then allegedly choked one of the women until she passed out.

In a shocking fourth suit, reported first in early December, Combs was accused of assaulting an anonymous fourth victim when she was a 17-year-old high school student in 2003.

The woman was allegedly 'sex trafficked' and 'gang raped' by Combs, who was 34 at the time, and Harve Pierre, then-president of his record label.

In harrowing detail, she described in her suit how Combs allegedly demanded that she pinch his nipples throughout the attack to help him 'get off,' before pulling up a chair to watch her being raped and choked by his associates.

She says she suffered in silence for 20 years until the R&B singer Cassie sued Combs, her former mentor and ex-boyfriend, for allegedly subjecting her to savage beatings, drug-addled hotel orgies and rape. 

Music producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones Jr., who worked with Combs on 'The Love Album: Off the Grid,' is also among his accusers.

He filed a lawsuit against the rapper claiming he was ordered to recruit sex workers and have sex with them for the star's pleasure, and has hundreds of hours of video documenting Combs's 'serious illegal activity'.

Jones filed a bombshell lawsuit against Diddy and claimed that his 'affiliation' to Prince Harry and other stars gave him and his associates 'legitimacy', MailOnline revealed this week.

The court documents filed in the US last month do not suggest any wrongdoing on Prince Harry's part. He is not a defendant and is named once in the 73-page document. MailOnline has asked the Duke of Sussex to comment.

Lil Rod's lawyers claim guests were drawn to Diddy's alleged sex-trafficking parties because of his 'access to celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians, and international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry', court documents filed in New York say. 

Prince William and Prince Harry met P Diddy and Kanye West at a post-concert party the Princes hosted to thank all who took part in the 'Concert for Diana' at Wembley Stadium' in 2007. However, the Prince of Wales is not named in the court documents. It is not known how many times Harry has met the rapper since then, if at all.

Jones claims that underage girls and sex workers were guests at the star's house parties and that he saw the star drug their drinks.

And he says he himself was drugged in February last year before waking up naked, dizzy and confused in bed with Combs and two sex workers, and fearing he may have been raped.

Four of Combs' staff were tasked with paying most the sex workers in cash, but in one explosive passage Jones claims that 'Yung Miami, Jade, and Daphne Joy were paid a monthly fee to work as Mr Combs' sex workers and received payment via wire transfer.'

Combs has denied all the allegations against him, saying 'enough is enough'.

'Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,' said in a statement in December.

And his lawyers have been scathing about Jones's $30 million lawsuit targeting Combs, his son Justin, record boss Ethiopia Habtemariam, and the record labels they worked for.

Attorney, Shawn Holley, dismissed 'Lil Rod' as 'nothing more than a liar', who is in it for the money.
