In a candid and eyebrow-raising interview from 2020, 50 Cent shared stories about his rise in the entertainment industry, his business ventures, and shocking encounters with fellow celebrities. Among these tales, his recollections of a peculiar interaction with Sean “Diddy” Combs at the wedding of his late manager, Chris Lighty, stood out as particularly bizarre and revealing.
The Shopping Offer That Raised Eyebrows
50 Cent recounted how Diddy, during the wedding celebrations, approached him with an unexpected and puzzling proposition. “Puffy was like, ‘Yo, when are we gonna kick it? We need to hang out. Let’s go shopping. I’ll pay for it,’” 50 revealed, adding that he was taken aback by the suggestion. The rapper admitted he found the interaction unsettling and quickly distanced himself to avoid escalating tensions, especially given the formal setting.
Reflecting on the moment, 50 Cent expressed disbelief and confusion: “I was like, what did this man just say? I had to get away from him.” He even admitted feeling concerned about potentially reacting physically and ruining the wedding.
Accusations Against Diddy
50 Cent didn’t stop at recounting the shopping incident. He delved into allegations about Diddy’s behavior and relationships. In his characteristically blunt style, he insinuated that Diddy’s interactions with men, often captured in photos, were far from coincidental. “You see those weird pictures of Diddy kissing men? That’s not an accident,” 50 stated, dubbing the music mogul a “fruit pop.”
Adding to the drama, 50 revealed an even more scandalous claim: Diddy and record executive Steve Stoute allegedly had inappropriate relations with the bride, Veronica Liy, on the very day of her wedding to Chris Lighty.
Diddy’s Controversial Podcast Appearance
In a separate incident, 50 pointed to Diddy’s infamous appearance on Drink Champs, where the music mogul’s behavior left many, including guests Fabulous and Jadakiss, visibly uncomfortable. During the episode, Diddy made awkward remarks, including repeatedly calling the host “daddy” and pressing Fabulous to party with him. The unsettling dynamic led to widespread criticism, with viewers labeling the episode one of the cringiest moments in podcast history.
50 Cent’s Truth-Telling Spree
The rapper admitted that alcohol often loosens his tongue, making him more likely to share controversial truths. “When you give me alcohol, it’s over. I’ll tell you everything,” 50 confessed. Whether exposing private scandals or addressing industry politics, 50 Cent’s candidness has cemented him as a figure unafraid to speak his mind, regardless of the fallout.
A Pattern of Revelations
The Drink Champs podcast has become a hotbed for controversy, with Diddy and even Kanye West delivering headline-grabbing statements. From Diddy’s peculiar comments to Kanye’s accusations against the music industry, these interviews continue to pull back the curtain on celebrity culture’s murky underbelly.
Final Thoughts
50 Cent’s willingness to expose uncomfortable truths about Diddy and others in the entertainment industry has sparked intense debates. His revelations, while controversial, highlight the complexities and power dynamics that permeate the world of fame. Whether viewed as a fearless truth-teller or a provocateur, 50 Cent remains one of hip-hop’s most unapologetically outspoken voices.
