50 Cent compares Sean Combs to John Gotti after split verdict
50 Cent weighs on the verdict sean “Diddy” in its generally frank way.
The rapper “in Da Club” had fun in Combs on Wednesday after the disgrace music magnate was sentenced for two offenses related to prostitution during a federal trial, but not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking.
In a brief Instagram article, 50 Cent – which has beef of several decades with combs and has thwarted it several times during the trial – joked the founder of Bad Boy Records acquitted of violation of the Act on the Influenced and Corrupted Organizations of Racket, or Rico.
“Diddy beat Rico, this boy a bad man!” wrote, adding three Emojis Applause. “He likes gay John Gotti.”
The latter Jab referred to the infamous Mafioso of the Gambino Crime family, which escaped several racketeering charges in the 1980s and was then nicknamed “The Teflon Don” because the criminal charges never remained – until Gotti was found guilty of five murders, racketeering and many other crimes in 1992.
The Instagram post on Wednesday only scored the last in a sustained flow of insults and jokes that 50 cent (whose real name is Curtis Jackson) launched on Combs (which has been known over the years under the name of Puff Daddy, P. Diddy and Love). The rapper “Candy Shop” dropped “hip hop”, a piece of dissruit against Combs, in 2006, referring to the infamous “white festivals” of Combs and suggesting that he was involved in the murder of The Notorious Big
50 also joked on the civil trial that the ex-girlfriend of Combs, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, brought against him in November 2023 (which was settled one day after his file), saying on Instagram at the time when the details of the prosecution returned Diddy “crazy like an MF”.

50 Cent announced in September that it would produce a Netflix documentary series on sexual traffic and racketeering allegations against Combs. “Although the allegations are disturbing, we all urge to remember that the story of Sean Combs is not the complete history of hip-hop and its culture,” he wrote in a joint declaration with director Alexandria Stapleton. “We aim to make sure that individual actions did not lag the broader contributions of culture.”
