The fifth day of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ intercourse trafficking trial bought underway in Manhattan this morning.

50 Cent has been throwing infinite shade at Diddy
And nobody has delighted within the disgraced mogul’s downfall fairly as a lot as 50 Cent.
50 has been throwing verbal jabs at Diddy for years, however he actually stepped his sport up within the months of his imprisonment.
(Combs has been locked up for the reason that time of his arrest, having been denied bail on a number of events.)
If he’s convicted on all the expenses in opposition to him (which appears extremely seemingly), then Combs is more likely to spend the remainder of his life behind bars. So 50 might be protected from his infamous mood and (alleged) fondness for revenge (extra on that later).
However now, Mr. Cent is taking photographs at a music legend who’s simply as wealthy and highly effective as Diddy and who doesn’t look like at any threat of going to jail.

50 Cent mocks Jay Z’s friendship with Diddy
Contemplating they’re each New York rappers-turned-moguls who’re precisely the identical age, it’s not shocking that Diddy and Jay Z have been shut mates at one level.
Jay has properly distanced himself from Diddy within the gentle of his latest authorized troubles — however 50 will not be about to let the hip hop legend about his relationship together with his former colleague.
On Thursday, 50 posted a collage of pictures exhibiting Diddy and Jay having fun with one another’s firm in higher instances (properly, higher instances for Diddy, anyway).
“Friends till the end, Jay you still there?” 50 Cent captioned the submit. “We blew up Kid cudi’s car to show him who’s the BOSS! LOL.”
That remark is a reference to allegations that Diddy blew up rapper Child Cudi’s automobile in a jealous rage when Cudi started relationship Diddy’s ex, Cassie Ventura.
The Child Cudi allegations resurface
Ventura has been on the witness stand all week, and she or he confirmed that Diddy was livid in regards to the relationship.
In her 2023 lawsuit in opposition to Combs, Ventura claimed that was so “enraged” over her relationship with Cudi that he threatened to “blow up” his automobile.
“Around that time, Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his driveway,” the go well with reads, in line with Web page Six.

Now, that’s a hell of a coincidence, however we don’t know if Combs really blew up Cudi’s automobile. He was by no means charged in reference to the explosion, and it’s unlikely that he will probably be at this level.
However clearly, 50 is linking Combs to the explosion. And he’s even tossing in Jay Z’s identify for good measure.
Clearly, 50 has by no means been one to draw back from controversy.
However he would possibly need to fear about authorized repercussions on this one.
