50 Cent subtly ridicules Jay-Z following surprising rape accusations from Diddy’s accuser

Rap icon 50 Cent has poked fun at Jay-Z following accusations that he was involved in the gang-rape of a young girl, along with troubled rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The G-Unit founder has in the past also trolled Diddy after the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested on federal sex crime charges.

50 Cent has previously commented on avoiding Diddy’s parties, events often attended by high-profile celebrities like Jay-Z.

Using his X account [formerly Twitter], 50 Cent indirectly criticized Jay-Z for being part of a lawsuit that claimed he and Diddy sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl.

Though 50 Cent did not directly address the allegations, he humorously pondered whether these allegations could potentially impact the upcoming Super Bowl event.

“Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl. I’m just asking for a friend,” the “In Da Club” rapper wrote, pairing his words with a photo of himself sporting an unusual stare.

While it’s unlikely that such allegations against Jay-Z could disrupt the Super Bowl, fans were quick to speculate that 50 Cent might have been alluding to the Super Bowl Halftime Show, where Jay-Z’s Roc Nation collaborates with Apple Music as an entertainment partner.

In the comments section of the rapper’s post, several fans humorously engaged with the rapper’s line of questioning.

One fan joked that while the Super Bowl would still occur, they had “no idea if the halftime show” would go as planned.

Another individual commented, “They will phase Jay Z out and won’t give him camera time during the Super Bowl.”

A third X netizen remarked, “probably having an emergency meeting to change the halftime performance as we speak.”

Someone else mentioned, “We will. Rappers might not be part of the halftime show tho…I nominate Metallica.”

Some online users also commented that 50 Cent seems to be at the forefront of trolling his fellow rappers who have found themselves in trouble.

A user wrote, “This man needs another trophy for “Troll of The Year!” while another commented, “This is the tweet we’ve all been waiting for.”

One more X netizen remarked, “I [keep] thinking I’m a real hater, and then 50 Cent reminds me I am a novice. I am not hating enough.”

Several days ago, Jay-Z was named in an amended lawsuit as one of the individuals who raped a 13-year-old at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in 2000, per NBC News.

The original lawsuit identified Jay-Z as “Celebrity A,” with the victim alleging that she encountered the rapper when he, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and an unidentified female celebrity entered a room where she was resting after feeling “woozy and lightheaded” from a drink she had consumed.

In the filing, the victim claimed Jay-Z undressed her and was the first to rape her. She added that once he was done, he held her down to allow Diddy to have his way.

Both attacks allegedly took place in the presence of the unnamed female celebrity, whose identity remains undisclosed.

The victim further revealed that she managed to escape the scene by striking Diddy in the neck when he attempted to force her into performing oral sex on him.

The “Jane Doe” also mentioned that after the assault, she “fell into a deep depression,” which continues to “affect every facet of her life.”

In the wake of the rape accusation, Jay-Z released a statement in which he denied the claims and accused the victim and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, of “blackmail” to extort money from him.

More recently, he filed a motion in court requesting the victim to reveal her identity instead of pursuing the case anonymously.

“Fair is fair,” read the docs filed by the Roc Nation founder, per TMZ. “It is not consistent with justice, fairness, or the rules governing federal proceedings for the Plaintiff and her counsel to smear [Jay-Z] ‘s good name.”

“Make no mistake this case is about retaliating against the rare target who would not pay,” the rapper’s filing further read.

In the wake of the rape allegations making headlines, Jay-Z released a statement denying the claims and calling them a “blackmail attempt.”

“My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee,” the Roc Nation founder wrote, referencing a letter the Texas-based attorney had sent to inform the rapper of the accusations.

Jay-Z added, “What he had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!!”
