50 Cent name-dropped during ex-Diddy assistant Capricorn Clark’s bombshell testimony about rap feud: ‘I like guns’
Rapper 50 Cent was name-dropped at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ bombshell federal trial Tuesday — during shocking testimony that touched on the longstanding feud between the hip-hop legends.
The Bad Boy Records founder had griped to his former manager Chris Lighty about his feud with 50 Cent after the two rappers left an MTV press event, Combs’ ex-assistant Capricorn Clark told jurors in Manhattan federal court.
“I don’t like all the back and forth … I like guns,” Clark recalled Combs telling Lighty in an elevator leaving the event.
50 Cent – who famously took nine bullets during a 2000 shooting in Queens – responded to Combs’ alleged veiled threat with mocking faux fear.
“Wait a minute PUFFY’s got a gun, I can’t believe this I don’t feel safe,” the New York City native posted on Instagram later Tuesday. “LOL.”
The tale from Clark adds yet another wrinkle between the hip-hop stars’ beef, which began nearly 20 years ago.
50 Cent, real name Curtis James Jackson III, released a diss track — “The Bomb” — in 2006 that accused Combs of knowing who killed the Notorious B.I.G.
He has since gleefully roasted Combs over the torrent of accusations that erupted after the “Mo Money Mo Problems” singer’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura dropped a bombshell lawsuit outlining alleged abuse and degrading “freak-off” sex parties.
The trolling continued over Combs’ racketeering and sex-trafficking trial, as Ventura alleged he once made her climb into an inflatable pool filled with baby oil.
“This s–t crazier th[a]n regular crazy,” 50 Cent posted on Instagram, along with two AI-generated images of Combs in a pools brimming with baby oil.
