50 Cent's New Diddy Comment Takes Off Online

Another of rapper 50 Cent's social media posts after federal authorities raided the homes of Sean "Diddy" Combs on March 25 has gone viral.

The raids were part of a sex trafficking investigation, The Associated Press reported. No arrests were made, and no one has been charged. Combs has also been on the receiving end of multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct. Aaron Dyer, Combs' attorney, has criticized the raids and said his client was "innocent."

50 Cent—whose given name is Curtis Jackson—has had a long-running feud with Combs—who has also been known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and Brother Love—which seemed to escalate after the former's ex and mother of his son, Daphne Joy, was named in one of the lawsuits filed against Combs.

On Tuesday, Jackson weighed in on the allegations against Combs once more, sharing a clip from Get Him to the Greek to X, formerly Twitter.

Newsweek emailed spokespeople for Jackson and Combs for comment Wednesday.

The 2010 movie stars Jonah Hill as an employee at a record company and Russell Brand as the fictitious English rock star Aldous Snow. Combs also featured, playing Sergio Roma, the chief of the fictional label Pinnacle Records.

In the clip, Combs asks Hill if he's "ever been mindf***** before."

"I'm mindf****** you right now...can you feel my d*** f****** your mind?" Combs asks before Hill responds: "I can't really feel anything,"

Combs continues: "See that's it, that's the art of it. I'm mindf****** the s*** out of you.

Hill adds: "I hope you're wearing a condom because I have a dirty mind."

The video features the text "Diddy never hid anything" alongside a laugh-crying emoji and the words "This isn't aging well."

"I can't believe it's so much of this. LOL," Jackson captioned the post. At the time of writing, it had been viewed 420,900 times.

Jackson also posted the video to Instagram, where it has been liked 120,000 times.

The rapper has regularly been mocking Combs on social media. The pair have been feuding since 2006 when Jackson suggested in a track that Combs knew who killed Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls, in 1997.

Federal Raids

Homeland Security Investigations said in a statement that it had "executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners."

In response to the raids and subsequent media coverage, Combs' attorney, Aaron Dyer, told Newsweek in an email on March 26: "There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.

"This unprecedented ambush—paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence—leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits," Dyer added. "There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."

In a lawsuit filed against Combs in February and amended on March 25, music producer Rodney Jones accused Combs of coercing him to solicit prostitutes and then pressuring him to have sex with them. Jones alleged in the lawsuit that he was sexually harassed, drugged and threatened by Combs for more than a year. Jones produced several tracks on Combs' The Love Album: Off the Grid and is seeking $30 million in damages.

Combs' attorney Shawn Holley has disputed the allegations, previously telling Newsweek that "we have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies."
