50 Cent has shared some thoughts about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial.
The trial, which kicked off with jury selection on May 5 in Manhattan, made waves this week when the embattled record producer’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, took the stand to testify as a witness in the case.
She alleged that the rapper forced her to participate in “freak-offs” during their on-again, off-again relationship from 2007 to 2018.
The “Me & U” singer further alleged that Diddy, 55, once made her climb into an inflatable pool filled with baby oil inside of hotel room.
Although Ventura, 38, testified that she didn’t want to get into the baby oil-filled pool, the singer said that she did because she feared how Diddy would react if she refused.
“Something that Sean wanted to happen, that’s what was going to happen,” Cassie said on the witness stand Tuesday, per People.
The “In da Club” rapper took to Instagram to slam Diddy over the singer’s shocking claims.
“Damn he did all that s–t to go out like this, [shaking my head],” 50 Cent, 49, wrote. “This s–t crazier th[a]n regular crazy.”
The “Candy Shop” hip-hop legend also shared two AI-generated images of Diddy sitting in two different inflatable pools filled with baby oil.
This wasn’t the first time 50 Cent trolled Diddy over the “Mo Money Mo Problems” singer’s alleged love of baby oil.
Shortly after Diddy was arrested on federal racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution charges in September, the “P.I.M.P.” rapper again took to Instagram.
“Here I am keeping good company with [The Drew Barrymore Show],” he wrote. “And I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house.”
In the unsealed indictment following Diddy’s arrest, prosecutors claimed that federal agents discovered upwards of 1,000 bottles of baby oil when raiding the record exec’s Miami and LA homes in March 2024.
Diddy’s defense attorney, Teny Geragos, acknowledged the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper’s “love of baby oil” on Monday during opening statements.
“You may know of his love of baby oil,” Geragos said to the jury. “Is that a federal crime? No.”
Meanwhile, Cassie’s testimony at Diddy’s federal trial came after she sued the disgraced rapper for sexual abuse in November 2023 – although the pair settled the lawsuit for a staggering $20 million just one day later.
Her claims in court this week also come nearly one year after CNN released a shocking surveillance video of Diddy assaulting the “Long Way 2 Go” singer in the hallway of a Century City, Calif., hotel in 2016.
She testified about that incident after prosecutors shared the full video with the jury on Wednesday.
“How many times had Sean thrown you to the ground like that before?” Emily Johnson, one of the prosecutors in the case, asked Ventura.
“Too many to count,” Ventura, who is currently eight weeks pregnant, responded.
