Rapper 50 Cent wasted no time mocking Sean “Diddy” Combs after the hip-hop mogul was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison, reigniting their decades-long rivalry as fans and celebrities reacted to the verdict.
Combs was sentenced on Friday to 50 months in federal prison on prostitution-related charges.
Taking to X, the “In da Club” hitmaker mocked Diddy’s imprisonment, writing, “Hey to whoever was booking Diddy for speaking engagement. I heard he won’t be able to make it, I’m available!” adding a link to his business website, G-Unit Brands, in the post.
The rapper appeared to be referencing upcoming speeches and interviews that Diddy was reportedly scheduled to give in Miami—a detail prosecutors mentioned during the sentencing hearing.

50 Cent also shared a court sketch of Diddy during the proceedings on Instagram with a sarcastic caption, though the post has since been deleted.
The two hip-hop veterans have a long history of conflict, dating back to 50 Cent’s 2006 track “The Bomb,” in which he implied Diddy knew about rapper Notorious B.I.G.’s murder.
Their feud reignited last week when, a day before the verdict, Jackson shared a letter he claimed to have sent to Judge Arun Subramanian, who presided over the case.
“I have had an ongoing dispute with Puffy for over 20 years. He is very dangerous. Multiple times I have feared for my life,” 50 Cent wrote, adding that Diddy “should stay in prison.”
According to Fox News, the “Candy Shop” artist referenced items such as baby oil and other evidence seized during federal raids on Diddy’s properties in 2024.
However, 50 Cent was not the only one to react.
Victims and their attorneys expressed mixed emotions about Diddy’s four-year prison term.
Some argued that justice had not been fully served, while others were simply relieved that the music mogul did not walk free.
Through her lawyer Doug Wigdor, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend and victim Cassie Ventura voiced disappointment at the sentence.
“While nothing can undo the trauma caused by Combs, the sentence imposed today recognizes the impact of the serious offenses he committed,” Wigdor told reporters outside the court.
In addition to the 50-month prison term, Diddy was placed on five years’ probation and ordered to pay a $500,000 fine (approximately KSh 64.7 million).
During his July 2025 trial, a jury found Diddy guilty on two counts related to transporting individuals for sex work. However, he was acquitted of the more severe charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to operate a criminal enterprise.
