Exclusive:Diddy and 50 Cent’s Feud Explained: How a 2006 Diss Track Led to the Rappers’ Years-Long Beef..See More 👇
Sean “Diddy” Combs and 50 Cent’s feud goes back to the latter’s 2006 diss “The Bomb,” in which he accused Combs of being involved in Biggie’s murder.
50 Cent is just as well known for his music as he is for his outspoken drama with other rappers in the business, and one of his most famous feuds is with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The “In da Club” rapper and Combs first began feuding when the former released his 2006 diss track, “The Bomb,” in which he accused Combs of having something to do with the 1997 murder of the Notorious B.I.G. Combs has since denied the accusations.
In the years since, the two have gone back and forth with each other, with drama building up as they both represented rival vodka brands. However, in 2024, their feud came to a head when Combs’ house was raided in March 2024 by the Department of Homeland Security amid a slew of lawsuits alleging the rapper sexually abused and trafficked men and women, which Combs has denied.
50 Cent has spoken up since then, claiming that he had suspected Combs’ alleged illegal behavior for some time. After the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper was arrested in September 2024, 50 Cent announced his documentary about Combs’ alleged abuse case was already in the works at Netflix after getting greenlit earlier in the year.
“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and director Alexandria Stapleton said in a statement to PEOPLE.
In October 2024, 50 Cent defended his choice to be vocal about the accusations against Combs, claiming he’s been doing so for a decade already.
“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. “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.’ ”
