50 Cent Trolls Diddy With Mock 'Letter To The Judge' Ahead Of Sentencing
By Kelly Coffey-Behrens on October 3, 2025 at 2:45 PM EDT

50 Cent just couldn’t resist. The rapper-turned-mogul, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, took another swipe at longtime nemesis Sean “Diddy” Combs, this time, penning a satirical “letter to the judge” just one day before Combs’ sentencing. Since Combs’ scandal erupted with explosive sex crime allegations, which he’s denied, 50 Cent has been gleefully roasting him online. The mock letter comes as prosecutors have recommended 11 years behind bars for Diddy, who was convicted on prostitution charges tied to his notorious “freak-off” sex parties.
50 Cent Doubles Down On Diddy Feud

On Thursday, 50 posted on X that he had written Judge Arun Subramanian, who is overseeing Diddy’s federal case, urging him to keep the disgraced Bad Boy boss behind bars. “I have had an ongoing dispute with Puffy for over 20 years,” he began. “He is very dangerous. Multiple times I have feared for my life.”
Jackson continued by telling the judge to “consider the safety of the general public before unleashing him upon them,” claiming that the time Combs has already spent in prison isn’t nearly enough to inspire reform, even with the “business class” Diddy has reportedly been teaching while locked up.
In classic 50 Cent fashion, the trolling didn’t stop there. The rapper cracked, “Anyway, Diddy’s only going to return to hiring more male sex workers and keeping most of the baby oil away from the general public. And babies need it!” 50 also used the moment to promote his latest project, a documentary about the scandal. “My Netflix doc on this scandalous subject is coming soon,” he teased, signing off his faux plea to the judge.
Facing Sentencing In Explosive Mann Act Case

50 Cent's mock letter comes as Sean “Diddy” Combs went back into court on Friday, October 3, for sentencing in a sordid case that could determine whether he spends the next decade behind bars. The 55-year-old music mogul was convicted in July of violating the Mann Act, a federal law that makes it illegal to transport people across state lines for prostitution or other unlawful sexual activity. Prosecutors said Combs flew women and male sex workers around the country for drug-fueled encounters, including his then-girlfriend Cassie and another woman identified only as “Jane.”
While a jury acquitted him of the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges that carried a potential life sentence, the guilty verdict still left Combs facing up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors are now pushing for at least 11 years and 3 months, arguing that leniency would pose a risk to public safety. “This is not someone who should be walking free,” they told the court, per AP News, adding that victims and witnesses still fear for their lives.
Diddy Begs For Mercy In Emotional Letter

On the eve of sentencing, Combs tried to sway the judge with a dramatic four-page letter. He described himself as “reborn,” claiming sobriety after a year in jail had given him clarity.
“I was broken to my core,” he wrote, insisting he now sees how “rotten” he had become before his September 2024 arrest. In a plea for mercy, Combs asked Judge Arun Subramanian to see him as a man worthy of redemption.
In the courtroom on Friday, the Judge said, “In general, the narrative that he and his attorneys have put forth, that this case involves nothing more than adults paying for time, not sex, is flatly inconsistent with both reality and an acceptance of responsibility."
Launching A Jailhouse Business Class

Even behind bars, Sean “Diddy” Combs leaned on his mogul persona, according to his defense team. Attorney Marc Westmoreland told the court that Combs’ business empire followed him straight into Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, where inmates regularly asked him for advice.
Instead of keeping it casual, Diddy turned it into a six-week crash course he called “Free Game with Diddy.” The class focused on business skills, leadership, and navigating opportunities and quickly became one of the most talked-about programs on the unit.
But there was a catch.
Diddy Turns Peacemaker Behind Bars

Before launching the class, Combs struck a deal with fellow inmates: if they wanted his lessons, they had to maintain peace and let everyone participate, regardless of their personal issues. Westmoreland claimed it was the first time such unity had been seen inside the facility.
“Your honor, this is change. This is inspiration. This had not happened at the MDC, ever,” Westmoreland argued. “Mr. Combs can reach so many more on the outside than he can on the inside. It is of no benefit to anyone to warehouse him in a prison.”
As court proceedings unfold, all eyes are on Judge Subramanian as the world waits to see how many years Diddy will be forced to trade the spotlight for a prison cell.
