The rapper reignites their decades-long feud, trolling Diddy as “Gay John Gotti” after mixed trial outcome
50 Cent is back doing what he does best—throwing shade—and this time his target is once again Sean “Diddy” Combs. Following the high-profile federal trial that saw Diddy acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted on two counts related to prostitution, 50 wasted no time firing off a blistering reaction on Instagram.
“Diddy beat the [RICO], that boy a bad man,” the 49-year-old wrote alongside an AI-generated photo of himself grinning from ear to ear. But he didn’t stop there. In a sharp jab, 50 dubbed Combs “Gay John Gotti,” referencing the infamous New York mob boss who was eventually convicted of racketeering and died behind bars in 2002.
The post immediately lit up his comments section with fans piling on. One quipped, “I know you’re a little disappointed lol,” while another teased, “Worst day of the year for 50!”
The two rap heavyweights have been trading verbal blows for over two decades, their rivalry marked by barbed interviews, social media digs, and thinly veiled lyrics. Recently, their beef escalated as Diddy’s legal troubles deepened. 50 even took aim when former President Donald Trump hinted at the possibility of pardoning Combs. At the time, 50 posted (and later deleted), “He said terrible things about Trump. That’s not OK.”
Now, with Diddy facing up to 20 years in prison and remaining in custody until Judge Arun Subramanian rules on his bail request, 50 Cent’s digital haymakers feel like the latest round in an endless “Street Fighter” match.
The trial, which stretched over eight weeks, has left Diddy’s career and freedom hanging in the balance. But if there’s one constant in the hip-hop universe, it’s 50 Cent’s unwavering dedication to keeping the feud alive—one post at a time.
