Diddy vs. 50 Cent: A two-decade feud reignited, Cent to make a documentary on rappers arrest

Feuds in hip-hop world are legendary, but the drama between P Diddy and 50 Cent has stretched over two decades¡ªand it¡¯s still going strong. While both rappers came up in the ¡®90s, their relationship has spiralled from friendly colleagues to bitter rivals. And with Diddy's recent legal troubles, 50 Cent has been quick to reignite the fire, making sure everyone knows their beef is far from over.

The beginnings of a rivalry

Both Diddy and 50 Cent entered the music scene around the same time, but their paths didn¡¯t cross in a hostile way right away. Diddy, originally known as Puff Daddy, started at Uptown Records in the early ¡®90s and then launched his own label, Bad Boy Records, which became synonymous with The Notorious B.I.G. Meanwhile, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, got his break later, signing with Eminem¡¯s Shady Records in 2002. Interestingly, at one point, 50 Cent even ghost wrote for Diddy¡¯s hit Let¡¯s Get It in 2001, a peaceful period before the storm.

But things took a turn in 2006 when 50 Cent dropped The Bomb, a diss track implying that Diddy was somehow involved in the murder of Biggie. Though Diddy vehemently denied the accusations, it was clear that their relationship would never be the same.

A Vodka war

If their musical rivalry wasn¡¯t enough, their feud soon spilled into the business world. In 2010, 50 Cent became an investor and promoter for Effen Vodka, a direct competitor to Diddy¡¯s popular Ciroc Vodka. Curtis didn¡¯t hold back, using every opportunity to mock Ciroc, saying it wasn¡¯t "real" vodka but "grapes." He also criticized Ciroc for causing hangovers, claiming Effen was superior because it was distilled five times. Their public jabs over vodka became almost as notorious as their music beef.

Things got personal again in 2018 when 50 Cent revealed during an interview that Diddy once made him feel uncomfortable by offering to take him shopping. Curtis found the offer strange, comparing it to something a man would say to a woman. While Diddy brushed off the comment, joking that 50 Cent "loved him," Curtis continued to escalate their war on social media, taking shots whenever he could.

P Diddy arrest drama

Fast forward to 2023, and Diddy¡¯s legal troubles brought the feud back to life in the headlines. In November, Diddy¡¯s ex-girlfriend, Cassie, accused him of rape and sexual abuse, which led to a swift settlement. But the bigger bomb dropped in September 2024 when Diddy was arrested on federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. The case has rocked the entertainment world, but 50 Cent saw it as a golden opportunity to take more shots.

Not long after the arrest, Curtis took to social media, posting, ¡°Now it¡¯s not Diddy do it, it¡¯s Diddy done,¡± and adding that such charges don¡¯t come out of nowhere unless there¡¯s already a strong case against the person.

Now it¡¯s not Diddy do it, it¡¯s Diddy done ???¡á?they don¡¯t come like that unless they got a case. ? https://t.co/jnbpt4Vpb3 pic.twitter.com/xqqKVITWv6

This two-decade-long beef has seen it all¡ªdiss tracks, vodka wars, awkward shopping offers, and now, serious criminal charges. With 50 Cent always ready to capitalise on Diddy¡¯s misfortunes, this is one hip-hop rivalry that¡¯s bound to keep heating up.
