"I've been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties"— 50 Cent opens up about his beef with Diddy, reveals why he was never comfortable around him

50 Cent recently opened up about his beef with Diddy, revealing details unknown to the public. The rappers have been involved in a dispute for around 18 years, frequently targeting each other on different songs and making certain claims in interviews.

50 Cent appeared for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on July 31, 2024, where he recalled his conversations with the latter over the years and revealed that he had previously assisted Diddy in ghostwriting a few singles. He said they shared a professional bond but were not friends.

He also spoke up about never being a part of Diddy's white parties, saying that he did not like the energy that emerged from them.

"I've been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing sh*t like that. “I’ve been staying out of that sh*t for years. It’s just an uncomfortable energy connected to it," he mentioned.

50 Cent also elaborated on why he was never comfortable around Diddy.

"He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest sh*t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman. And I'm just like, 'Naw, I'm not f*cking with this weird energy or weird sh*t', coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn't comfortable around him."

Cent, also known as Curtis James Jackson III, has a lineup of different projects on television. This includes an animated show titled Lady Danger of B.O.O.T.I., which marks his collaboration with Nicki Minaj. Apart from this, he will serve as a producer for a Netflix documentary based on Diddy.

His problems with Diddy started after he released a single titled The Bomb. The lyrics included references to the fact that Diddy knew something related to the death of The Notorious B.I.G. in 1997.

Diddy has been in the headlines after certain lawsuits were filed against him in 2023 and 2024 on charges of sexual assault.

50 Cent speaks up on the Netflix documentary and the reasons behind making it

In his latest conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, 50 Cent was questioned on the reasons behind producing the documentary based on Diddy. He said he is the only one who belongs to the hip-hop culture and has made some good projects.

"We do have a lot of talent within our culture where the talent has developed a comfortability in front of the camera, so they're usually a part of it as an actor or driving force of why someone would watch the project; not the behind-the-scenes production, producing the whole project, so there's a difference," he said.

Curtis recalled when he collaborated with Diddy on some projects, saying that his son's mother responded when Diddy called him.

"I didn't want to get on the phone like, "No, no, no." And she was like, "What the f*ck? We need money." She's looking at me, like, "What? Why don't you want to talk to him?," he said.

50 Cent described Diddy as a "businessperson" in the interview, saying when someone calls the latter a producer, he sees the faces of those who "were taken advantage of" by Diddy.

"Puff is a businessperson; when [people call him] a producer, I see people that were taken advantage of, who produced things that he took from them. He got the credit. He’s not a producer. He’s been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it. I don’t have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn’t take to hanging out with that," he explained.
