Rapper 50 Cent weighed in on the latest development in the Sean “Diddy” Combs saga this week, as newly released video footage showed Diddy brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie. Sharing the graphic footage to both Twitter and Instagram, 50 Cent added his two cents: “Now I’m sure puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all.”
The overtly sarcastic response come after months of the “In Da Club” rapper taunting Diddy online, as multiple lawsuits accused him of abuse and assault. Last year, 50 Cent announced he was working on a documentary about the allegations against Diddy and vowed to donate the doc’s proceeds to Diddy’s alleged victims. Yet however admirable those intentions sound, 50 hasn’t resisted discussing the project with a quip or two for his own amusement. “This is gonna break records when this drops,” he tweeted about the project in March, along with a fan poster with the title called Diddy Do It?
When Combs’ homes were raided by authorities in March, 50 Cent added some jabs then too, tweeting “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done ????????♂ they don’t come like that unless they got a case.” That was after months of social media provocations that even dragged in Jay-Z, who 50 joked had stopped “answering his phone” for Diddy, as the scandal unfolded.
