50 Cent led the initial charge of Hollywood stars reacting to the news of Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs’ homes being raided by federal agents amid their longstanding feud.
On Monday, March 25, Diddy’s houses in Los Angeles and Miami were surrounded by Homeland Security agents as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
Rapper 50 Cent, 48, was quick to repost coverage of the raid, writing: ‘S*** just got real. The Fed‘s in all the cribs, d*** they got the kids in cuffs’.
His post marked another notch to the timeline of his feud with Diddy, which has been going on for nearly two decades.
From wild accusations about the murder of Biggie Smalls to the pair running rival businesses, here is everything you need to know about the pair’s long-running feud.
2006
The lengthy quarrel between the two rappers began in 2006, when 50 Cent released his single The Bomb, which appeared to suggest that Diddy had inside knowledge about the 1997 murder of Notorious B.I.G.
A refrain from the song states: ‘Who shot Biggie Smalls? We don’t get ’em / They gonna kill us all. Man, Puffy know who hit that n****.’
This apparent accusation came despite 50 Cent never having had proof of Diddy’s involvement in the murder of Biggie Smalls, with the case remaining officially unsolved to this day.
Diddy meanwhile, has frequently denied that he had any information about the killer.
2014
The pair continued to trade blows and insults on social media as well as in their own songs for years, before their feud escalated in 2014 when they were chosen by competing vodka brands to act as brand ambassadors.
Diddy has co-owned well-known brand Ciroc since 2007, seven years before 50 Cent represented Dutch brand Effen Vodka.
‘Puff’s is not even vodka. It’s grapes [and] says ‘made with vodka,’ you know what I’m saying?’ 50 Cent remarked when appearing on the Drink Champs podcast in 2018.
‘[Effen] is made from wheat from Holland and distilled five times so it’s a lot less sugar, it’s the right way.
‘And then later when you have a headache because you finished your full bottle of Ciroc.… I told you I was smarter.’
50 Cent went on to sell his stake in Effen Vodka for a reported sum of $60million in 2017.
Announcing the news on Instagram at the time, he wrote: ‘I got the bag, EFFEN Vodka can you say 60M’s since they like counting my money DO THE MATH. Lol’.
2018
In 2018, 50 Cent further strained relations between the two rappers after making claims that Diddy is ‘fruity’.
Appearing on an episode of The Breakfast Club podcast, he said: ‘When he says things, he doesn’t even know what he’s saying is, like, fruity.
‘What is you talking about? When people say that to me I get a little uncomfortable.’
50 Cent continued: ‘He said something to me a long time ago, at Chris Lighty’s wedding. He told me he’d take me shopping. I looked at him like,
‘What’d you just say? Let me move, man, before I do something. You gon’ make me mess up the wedding.’ No. That’s…
