On December 16, 2024, 50 Cent appeared on Andrew Schulz's podcast Flagrant, where he was questioned about his approach to making statements involving serious allegations. The co-host noted that 50 Cent tends to pose questions rather than directly accuse individuals and asked whether he fears such comments could backfire.
In response, the hip-hop mogul seemingly alluded to Diddy, suggesting that he needed pills to perform better and hinting at an intimate moment.
"I gave me the f*cking drug to perform," 50 said.
This statement follows recent allegations against Diddy, who has been accused of lacing a pregnant woman's drink, causing her to lose memory of the events that transpired. These claims emerged after Diddy's arrest in September 2024 on s*x trafficking charges.
50 Cent hints at Diddy’s role in alleged drugging controversy
During Andrew Schulz's podcast, 50 Cent was asked whether he worries about people digging into his past after making remarks or poking fun at individuals facing serious allegations.
50 Cent responded that he has no past to hide and further seemingly alluded to Diddy.
"I don't have sh*t in my pants. I took a pill but it was for me to perform better, for her remember buddy. I didn't f*cking give her drinks until she forget what the f*ck happened, what the f*ck is going on her bro... So she could remember it and possibly love me for that. Yo bro I am doing pretty good," the rapper said.
Furthermore, 50 highlighted that outsiders often assume all celebrities, particularly in hip-hop, are involved in the same controversial or negative behaviors. He explained that people project their struggles onto celebrities, creating a perception that everyone in the industry is guilty of similar actions.
"They think all celebrities are doing the same thing, and when you see, if I was not saying guess what you could safely say that a person on outskirts who is not involved in hip hop culture would think that everybody in hip hop culture is doing that sh*t," 50 added.
50 Cent seemingly aimed at Diddy, possibly due to their longstanding feud. According to People, their rivalry began in 2006 when 50 released the diss track The Bomb, accusing Diddy of involvement in the 1997 murder of The Notorious B.I.G.
The suggestion about lacing a drink originates from a lawsuit filed by attorney Tony Buzbee on October 1, 2024. During a press conference, Buzbee stated that his client, who was pregnant at the time, attended a dinner in Miami with Sean Combs. She was not consuming alcohol but claimed that whatever she drank at the table was allegedly laced with something.
This is not the first time 50 Cent has commented on allegations involving Diddy. While this instance was more subtle, on December 13, 2024, during an appearance on GMA3: What You Need to Know, the rapper openly discussed Diddy's legal troubles and the biography he has been working on.
He noted that the project has become increasingly challenging as new accusations and lawsuits against Diddy continue to emerge almost daily.
