50 Cent is stirring the pot as legal troubles continue to mount for music mogul P Diddy and his Bad Boy empire.
The G-Unit rapper dropped a hint on Wednesday (November 22) about a potential film titled “Surviving P Diddy” in light of recent legal developments.
The drama began when former Bad Boy president Harve Pierre was sued for sexual assault, just days after Diddy himself faced allegations of rape and abuse by his ex-girlfriend and former artist, Cassie.
50 Cent posted a screenshot of a headline regarding Pierre’s lawsuit on social media, accompanied by the caption: “I Told you they was coming, in 5,4,3,2,1 SMH. This is a movie (SURVIVING P DIDDY) OR (DIDDY, DO IT OR NOT) executive produced by Curtis 50cent Jackson coming soon!”
The title “Surviving P Diddy” is a play on the 2019 documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” which delved into sexual abuse allegations against the R&B singer. Notably, R. Kelly has since been imprisoned.
50 Cent’s post also highlighted two other stories related to Diddy: “Diddy’s Clothing Brand Sean John Being ‘Phased Out’ Of Macy’s After Two-Decade Partnership” and “Diddy’s Legal Battle Over Tequila Brand Put On Ice Until 2024.”
Harve Pierre’s lawsuit alleges sexual assault by his ex-assistant, with claims that he groomed and assaulted her between 2016 and 2017, causing physical, emotional, and psychological injuries. The woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, is seeking punitive damages and fair compensation.
While Diddy himself is not named in the lawsuit, Bad Boy Entertainment, Bad Boy Records, and Combs Enterprises are co-defendants, accused of negligence and gender violence for failing to properly supervise Pierre.
In response to the lawsuit against Pierre, a spokesperson for Bad Boy stated that they had recently become aware of the lawsuit and were investigating the allegations, emphasizing that the allegations date back to many years ago, and neither the plaintiff nor the executive involved were current employees.
50 Cent has been openly discussing Diddy’s legal woes since Cassie filed her lawsuit against him last week. In her lawsuit, Cassie accused Diddy of subjecting her to a pattern of abuse throughout their decade-long relationship, including physical beatings and coercing her into performing sex acts with male sex workers while he recorded and masturbated to them. She also claimed he raped her towards the end of their relationship and orchestrated an attack on Kid Cudi’s car after discovering the rapper was briefly dating Cassie.
After news of the lawsuit broke, 50 Cent reacted on social media by commenting, “Damn brother love, brother love, brother love, you out here looking [eyes emoji] CRAZY AS A MF. LMAO,” under a photo of himself.
Following the settlement of Cassie’s lawsuit, 50 Cent continued to comment, saying, “LOL He paid that money real quick, should have done that before the sharks saw the blood in the water and here they come in 5,4,3,2,1 every woman he put his hand on.”
