• Here's the beef between 50 Cent and Diddy, explained.

50 Cent taunted Sean "Diddy" Combs on Instagram after federal officials raided the rapper's mansions in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday.

The "I'll Be Missing You" singer is currently facing sexual assault allegations and numerous lawsuits. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Department of Homeland Security carried out the raids as part of a sex trafficking investigation, citing unnamed sources.

50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson, took to Instagram to joke about the situation amid a feud between the two rappers that has been drawn out since the early 2000s.

The "Power" star posted a screenshot of a TMZ article about the raid on Instagram, writing: "Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy Done. They don't come like that unless they got a case."

Page Six reported Jackson also posted a screenshot of Combs' two sons in handcuffs, but the picture has since been deleted.

In the caption, he wrote: "Shit just got real. The Fed's in all the cribs, damn they got the kids in cuffs."

Diddy has denied the various allegations made against him. In December 2023, he posted a statement on X, saying: "Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth."

50 Cent and Sean 'Diddy' Combs' beef started in 2006

The feud between the two rappers publicly kicked off in 2006 when 50 Cent released a diss track called "The Bomb," which claims that Combs knows who shot and killed Notorious B.I.G. in March 1997.

Since then, the pair have made numerous comments about each other. In 2010, for example, Combs described 50 Cent as a "hating ass crap" after he became the manager of Rick Ross in 2009 — another rapper that 50 Cent had beef with, according to HipHopDX.

50 Cent also got involved when Combs' ex-partner, Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, filed a lawsuit alleging rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking in November 2023. She claimed that she was trapped in a "cycle of abuse" with the rapper.

Combs settled the case a day after Cassie filed the suit.

In December, 50 Cent confirmed that his production company is working on a documentary about the sexual assault allegations made against Combs. He later posted a clip from the documentary featuring Bad Boy Records rapper Mark Curry alleging that Combs spiked girls at parties.

A representative for 50 Cent told Variety in December 2023: "The untitled 'Diddy' documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson serving as Executive Producer, proceeds from this documentary that G-Unit Film & Television receives will go to victims of sexual assault and rape."

Representatives for 50 Cent and Diddy did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
