Rapper 50 Cent recently addressed the allegations against his longtime rival, Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming he has consistently spoken out against the music mogul for the past 10 years.
50 Cent is known to regularly mock and poke fun at the disgraced rapper on social media, even recently sharing a photo of a fake baby oil bottle, branding it as "Diddy Oil."
Sean "Diddy" Combs currently faces federal charges for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution and is awaiting his trial in jail.
50 Cent Says He Has Been Calling Out Diddy For The Past 10 Years
During a chat with People Magazine, 50 Cent talked about his trolling of Diddy on social media and how he has always been wary of the rapper.
50 Cent said, "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 continued, "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.'"
The fellow rappers have been at loggerheads for years after 50 Cent released the diss track "The Bomb" in 2006. In the song, he accused Diddy of having a hand in the 1997 murder of the Notorious B.I.G.
Diddy has also been rumored to have ordered the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur; however, he has denied all allegations.
50 Cent's recent remarks come as a slew of lawsuits were filed against Diddy, accusing the rapper of rape and other forms of abuse.
50 Cent Has Been Very 'Vocal' About Not Attending Diddy's Parties
In the past, 50 Cent has talked about how he turned down invites to Diddy's parties.
"I've been very vocal about not going to Puffy parties and doing sh-t like that," 50 Cent told The Hollywood Reporter. "I've been staying out of that s–t for years. It's just an uncomfortable energy connected to it."
He also claimed that Diddy once asked to take him shopping, an offer which he rejected because it gave off a "weird" energy.
50 Cent said, "I thought that was the weirdest sh-t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman. And I'm just like, 'Naw, I'm not f-cking with this weird energy or weird sh-t,' coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn't comfortable around him."

The rapper has become known for taking jabs at Diddy on social media, and after the shocking arrest, 50 Cent made sure to continue the tradition.
In his first attack, 50 Cent shared a photo of himself and TV host Drew Barrymore while poking fun at the discovery of over a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant in Diddy's homes.
He wrote, "Here I am keeping good company with @DrewBarrymoreTV, and I don't have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house."
In another post on X (formerly Twitter), 50 Cent shared a photo of Johnson's Baby Oil; however, his version was edited to feature Diddy's name, with the inscription reading, "Diddy Oil."
50 Cent added the caption, "Coming soon! LOL," as if he were planning to mass-produce the oil.
Diddy's Lawyer Revealed Why The Rapper Had A Huge Stash Of Baby Oil
In a raid carried out in Diddy's Miami and L.A. homes in March, Homeland Security agents discovered and confiscated 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricants as part of investigations into the rapper's alleged crimes.
While there were other items discovered at the homes, the amount of lube found caused more of a stir online.
In an attempt to explain why Diddy had so many bottles of baby oil, his lawyer, Marc Agnifilio, claimed that the stash was present in his homes because the rapper prefers to buy his items in bulk.
"I don't think it was 1,000. I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know," Agnifilo told the New York Post.
He continued, "And you know these are consensual adults doing what consensual adults do, you know, we can't get so puritanical in this country to think that somehow sex is a bad thing because if it was there would be no more people."
Costco has since come out to state that none of their stores in the U.S. sell the particular baby oil product found in Diddy's homes, debunking Agnifilo's remarks.
50 Cent Is Producing A Diddy Docuseries For Netflix
In a statement to Variety, 50 Cent talked about his Netflix docuseries, which will spotlight allegations made against Diddy.
"This is a story with significant human impact," 50 Cent told the publication. "It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far."
The rapper continued, "We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs' story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture."
50 Cent concluded his statement: "We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture's broader contributions."
