Guess who’s putting their feud aside and showing some love? Yes, 50 Cent just congratulated his rival, Diddy, for beating the sex trafficking and racketeering charges against him.
Who would’ve thought 50 Cent could put whatever he has against Diddy and congratulate over the no-guilty verdict?
50 Cent was quick to react to the Sean “Diddy” Combs verdict Wednesday – seemingly hailing the disgraced rapper for beating the feds before quickly dubbing him “the Gay John Gotti.”
“Diddy beat the Feds that boy a bad man!” the rapper said in an Instagram post alongside a photo of himself grinning and applauding emojis.
50 Cent, who has a longstanding feud with the disgraced music mogul, then compared him to the infamous Mafia boss who was nicknamed “The Teflon Don” after prosecutors couldn’t get charges to stick.
“Beat the Rico, he the Gay John Gotti,” the rapper added.
The “In Da Club” hip-hop artist was name-dropped during the trial back in May during shocking testimony that touched on the longstanding feud between the hip-hop legends.
Diddy’s ex-assistant, Capricorn Clark, had told jurors her boss once implied he might pull a gun on Fitty.
“I don’t like all the back and forth … I like guns,” Clark recalled Combs telling his manager after seeing 50 Cent at an MTV event.
50 Cent – who famously took nine bullets during a 2000 shooting in Queens – reacted to the name-drop with mocking faux fear.
“Wait a minute PUFFY’s got a gun, I can’t believe this I don’t feel safe,” the New York City native posted on Instagram after the testimony. “LOL.”
The beef between the pair began nearly 20 years ago after 50 Cent, whose real name Curtis James Jackson III, released a diss track — “The Bomb” — in 2006 that accused Combs of knowing who killed The Notorious B.I.G.
Maybe this will inspire some peace and love in the music industry – or maybe not. Either way, it’s nice to see some positivity in the midst of all the legal drama. Go, 50 and Diddy!
