They share a child, but there are some things about his partner he allegedly didn’t know.
50 Cent reacted to his ex being named in one of Diddy’s lawsuits, confirmed by multiple outlets. 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, dated Daphne Joy in 2011 and they split a year later after the birth of their son Sire.

Producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones sued the rapper in February, claiming Diddy sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him for more than a year. He also accused him of sex trafficking multiple women and 50 Cent’s ex Joy was named as one of the alleged sex workers.
50 Cent responded to his ex being named as an alleged sex worker in the lawsuit, sharing a photo of himself smoking a cigar in the rain. In the caption, he wrote: “I didn’t know you was a sex worker, 👀you little sex worker.LOL 😆Yo this shit is a movie.”
Us Weekly later learned that 50 Cent had filed for sole custody of Sire in response to the allegations. “Given the latest developments and news of Daphne Joy’s involvement in the Diddy lawsuit, 50 is going for sole custody of his son,” a source close to the situation told the tabloid.
Diddy has maintained his innocence throughout several lawsuits filed against him in the past 6 months. “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit, shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Diddy’s lawyer Shawn Holley said last month, per Us Weekly. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”
In less than four months, rapper Sean John Combs has been sued for sexual assault and harassment five times. His homes in LA and Miami were raided on March 25 as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.” Here’s why Diddy was raided.
The last time Diddy was spotted publicly was by TMZ on Monday, just hours after the raids on his two homes in Los Angeles and Miami. “We’re told this shows Diddy pacing around outside a Customs office there at the airport—and as you can see—he’s not being detained, and he certainly doesn’t seem to be in custody here. Instead, Diddy is just walking around all by his lonesome,” the tabloid reported.
On March 27, the LA Times reported that the rapper “remains in the US“, though didn’t add any more details. “Sources with knowledge of the situation said Combs was scheduled on Monday to depart by plane for a spring break vacation with his school-age daughters but opted to delay the trip after learning of the search. He still has his passport, they added,” the paper observed.
