Rapper 50 Cent's online feud with his ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy intensified on Thursday when he called her a "sex worker" and connected her to troubled hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs in an Instagram post.
The 48-year-old rapper from on Da Club posted a picture of Diddy and Joy, 37, together on Miami Beach in 2021. He said that Joy had resorted to the 54-year-old musician-turned-entrepreneur for financial support after he had rejected her overtures.Shortly after Joy made a scathing Instagram post accusing 50 Cent of raping her, the post was made.
The music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones claimed in a sex trafficking lawsuit brought against Diddy that Joy was a prostitute who had been paid by the founder of Bad Boy Records, which sparked the most recent back and forth between the ex-couples. She has called the lawsuit's allegation that she was a sex worker "character assassination" and rejected it.
With an address to his former partner, the rapper (real name: Curtis Jackson III) started his caption, saying, "You moved a mile away in hopes of having another baby with me but I was busy."
Joy merely commented, "Delusional," on the post.
He made a comeback later on Thursday with another Instagram post that seemed to refer to the lawsuit that named Joy as a sex worker.
'Whistle while you work guys, that's my theme for today,' he began his caption.
'I made all this money and I'm practicing abstinence, [shrugging emoji] I don't want a little sex worker,' he added, before again tagging his alcohol brands, as well as the account for his tour.
"The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy, the mother of my twelve-year-old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire," stated Jackson's representative in a statement published on his behalf with DailyMail.com, refuting the accusations.
Sire is eleven years old, not twelve, as stated in a statement by his father.
'The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son. My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time,' he said.
In an Instagram post he put up Thursday evening, 50 Cent wrote to his ex, seemingly as a response to her words: 'You moved a mile away in hopes of having another baby with me but I was busy. So you moved back and then you started receiving money from Brother Love. Now here we are, little sex worker.'
