Story highlights

50 Cent and Combs have had a rocky relationship for years. Their feud started in 2006 when 50 Cent released a diss track titled "The Bomb."

50 Cent reiterates that he had been commenting on Sean "Diddy" Combs' "freak parties" and disturbing behaviour long before the recent legal issues came to light. He is standing by his decision to call out Combs over the years.

The disgraced music mogul was arrested at a Manhattan hotel on September 17. He was recently charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and other crimes. However, he has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

He explained that he had spoken out about Combs' questionable behaviour during his concerts and even on social media. “Look, it seems like I’m doing some extremely outrageous things, but I haven’t. It’s really me just saying what I’ve been saying for 10 years,” he said.

The rapper added that while Combs’ legal troubles are now in the spotlight, his own perspective remains the same. “Now it’s becoming more full-facing in the news with the Puffy stuff, but away from that I’m like, ‘Yo it’s just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff the entire time because this is not my style.’”

50 Cent and Combs have had a rocky relationship for years. Their feud started in 2006 when 50 Cent released a diss track titled "The Bomb." In the song, 50 Cent accused Combs of being involved in the 1997 murder of the Notorious B.I.G. Since then, the two have often clashed.

After Combs’ arrest, it was revealed that 50 Cent is working on a documentary about the accusations. He is teaming up with director Alexandria Stapleton for the project, which is being produced by G-Unit Film & Television and House of Nonfiction.

In a statement, they said, “This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far.” They also emphasised that Combs’ case is just one part of the larger story of hip-hop culture.

“We want to make sure that individual actions do not overshadow the broader contributions of the culture,” the statement said.

50 Cent is also preparing for his Las Vegas residency, which will feature his hit song "In Da Club."
