Daphne Joy, the Filipino-American model, actress and entrepreneur best known for early work in music videos and as the mother of rapper 50 Cent’s son, is at the center of fresh online attention following the leak of a graphic video allegedly from a 2021 encounter involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Joy, born Daphne Joy Cervantes Narvaez on Feb. 8, 1987, in Olongapo, Philippines, moved to Los Angeles as a child. She built a career as a video vixen, model and actress in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

She appeared in music videos including Colby O’Donis’ “What You Got” featuring Akon and Ne-Yo’s “Miss Independent” featuring Jamie Foxx. She also featured on MTV’s Nick Cannon Presents: Wild ’N Out in 2007.

Relationship with 50 Cent and Family
Joy dated Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson from roughly 2011 to 2012. The couple welcomed son Sire Jackson in September 2012 and split shortly afterward.
Their post-relationship history has included public disputes. In 2013, Joy reported a domestic violence incident to Los Angeles police, alleging Jackson kicked in a bedroom door during an argument at a Toluca Lake condo, kicked her and caused property damage. Jackson pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor vandalism, received three years’ probation, 30 days of community service, and was ordered to pay restitution and fines. He has denied broader abuse allegations.
The former couple have been involved in ongoing co-parenting and custody matters. In 2024, amid other developments, Jackson sought sole custody of their son, citing allegations against Joy in a separate lawsuit. Public exchanges on social media have included mutual accusations.
Connection to Diddy and 2024 Lawsuit Allegations
Joy has been publicly linked to Sean “Diddy” Combs through photos, social media interactions and reports of a romantic association around 2020–2022. She has posted supportive messages and appeared alongside him in some settings.
In early 2024, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones named Joy in his civil lawsuit against Combs. The filing alleged that Combs maintained women on monthly stipends to participate as “sex workers” in events described as “freak offs,” with payments allegedly wired through his label. Joy was among those identified in the complaint. She strongly denied the claims, calling them “100% false” and stating she was “deeply hurt by the lies.” She said she was exploring legal options.
The mention prompted online commentary from 50 Cent, who trolled Joy publicly, escalating their existing feud. Joy responded with accusations of past abuse by Jackson, which he has denied. Jackson later dropped a defamation suit against her.
Recent Sex Tape Leak
On or around May 30–31, 2026, a graphic video began circulating widely on social media platforms. Multiple reports describe the footage as showing Joy in an explicit sexual encounter with adult performer Sly Diggler, while Combs — described as oiled and nude — operates a camera and watches.
The video is reportedly from a 2021 “freak off” at a Beverly Hills hotel. Adult performer Sly Diggler had previously discussed aspects of the encounter in a DJ Vlad interview, including an accidental recording on his phone. DJ Vlad has publicly authenticated the leaked video as real, stating it matches what he reviewed earlier and is not AI-generated or fabricated.
As of publication, neither Joy nor Combs has issued a public statement addressing the specific video. The leak comes amid Combs’ ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, which stems from his September 2024 arrest.
Joy has built a public profile over nearly two decades through modeling, acting, social media and business ventures while navigating high-profile personal relationships and legal scrutiny. The latest video has intensified online discussion but has not been independently verified in court proceedings related to the ongoing cases.
Sources for this report include court documents from the 2024 Jones lawsuit, contemporaneous news coverage from outlets such as People and the Los Angeles Times, public social media statements, and recent statements by DJ Vlad regarding the video’s authenticity.
