"This is far from funny btw" - Netizens react as 50 Cent posts "Diddy Oil" meme to take another jab at the music mogul

Curtis James Jackson III, a.k.a. 50 Cent, shared a meme mocking rapper Sean Combs (a.k.a. Diddy) after his recent arrest. On Wednesday, September 25, 2024, Fif took to his X to share an AI-generated image of a baby oil bottle called "Diddy Oil," with the caption:

"Coming soon! LOL (grinning squinting face emoji)."

The image references raids by federal officers on the music mogul's homes in Los Angeles and Miami, where they seized more than 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. The raids were a part of a s*x trafficking investigation against Combs after his ex, Cassie Ventura, and several others sued him for r*pe and abuse.

As the meme went viral, internet users were quick to react. One criticized 50 Cent, stating:

"This is far from funny btw. Ppl were killed and r*ped."

Several netizens slammed the Candy Shop hitmaker for making light of a very serious situation. Here are some comments seen on X:

"Only people who find humor in what Diddy did, are people who have SA accusations hanging/GBV accusations/ppl who fail to understand consent. R*pe/ human trafficking can never be a joke," one user wrote.

"Trash recognises trash. The fact that you are using this as a moment to clown without posting something for the ppl who were harmed due to that monster’s actions says a lot more," @theboywhothrive added.

"Idk why ppl keep making fun of the situation it’s scary *ss situation," a netizen remarked.

Some commented on Fif not missing a chance to take a dig at his rival.

"The level of gleeful hate 50 Cent has for Puffy is hilarious," another commented.

"I admire his commitment and consistency in terrorizing his enemies. i aspire to be like him," @aluu_raa joked.

"Maybe act your age and stop fooling online?" an exasperated fan wrote.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution

The meme was not the only post 50 Cent shared about Diddy. A day after Sean's arrest, Fif shared an Instagram post of himself with Drew Barrymore at the latter's talk show with the caption:

"Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi."

On September 16, 2024, federal agents arrested Sean Combs in New York City, charging him with racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The 54-year-old music mogul pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Per the unsealed indictment, Diddy ran a "criminal enterprise" that abused, threatened, and coerced women to participate in recorded s*xual acts at his "freak off" parties. It stated that the rapper drugged the women to keep them compliant.

The Last Night rapper's troubles began last November when his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, sued him for s*xual and physical abuse. While her suit was settled in a day, several others came out with their own lawsuits.

At the time, Diddy denied all accusations levied against him. However, federal officials began an investigation into the rapper.

In May, CNN released CCTV footage from 2016 showing Combs kicking and dragging Cassie in a hotel lobby. The clip corroborated claims made in Ventura's lawsuit. The rapper later took to his social media to post an apology video (since deleted).

50 Cent has regularly taken to his social media to comment on developments and accusations against Diddy. When the CCTV footage made headlines, he reposted the footage (May 17) with the comment:

"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."

Diddy's lawyer has downplayed the "freak off" parties, telling TMZ on September 25 that they were just thr*esomes. 50 Cent is currently the executive producer on a Netflix docuseries covering the allegations against Sean Combs.
