50 Cent SHAKES HOLLYWOOD with his announcement that he will call out all the rappers who slept with Diddy! (VIDEO) Full story

Hip-hop fans are historically fascinated with rap feuds, which makes sense since they’ve been a huge part of making the industry successful and entertaining.

But one of the most explosive, confusing ones is between rap moguls Curtis Jackson, a.k.a. 50 Cent, and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The “In Da Club” rapper is certainly no stranger to feuds, having alleged beef with artists like The Game and Ja Rule in the past.

50’s true feelings about the “Bad Boy Records” founder surfaced publicly in 2023 amid Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura’s lawsuit alleging abuse from Diddy.

50 has not held back on how he really feels about Diddy, sparking some major animosity between the two men.

Was there always animosity, though?

In a 2018 interview on “The Breakfast Club,” Diddy claimed he and 50 were completely cool.

“I don’t have no beef with Fif. He loves me,” Diddy insisted.

“Y’all can’t see that he loves me? You really think that’s hate? … You know he loves me.”

Perhaps this is a case of thou who doth protest too much, because, from all of their interactions over the years, it’s clear that 50 and Diddy have a tumultuous friendship, if it can even be called that.

50 Cent’s Diddy diss track

50 Cent released a diss track in 2006 called, “The Bomb,” directed straight at Diddy.

In the lyrics, he alleges that the “Coming Home” artist knows more about the 1997 murder of The Notorious B.I.G. than he’s letting on.

Who shot Biggie Smalls? / We don’t get ’em / They gonna kill us all / Man, Puffy know who hit that n***a / Man, that n***a soft / He scared them boys from the Westside will break him off / Dump on his a**, so he run to Harlem shake em off,” the lyrics read (via HipHopDX).

He also added that calling Diddy out won’t get him an invitation to his famous and lavish summer white party in the Hamptons, which he appears to note sarcastically, as if that’s Diddy’s only claim to fame.

In 2023, 50 posted a year-old freestyle video on Instagram by rapper Mase.

Mase appeared to allude to Diddy in a negative light, and 50 wanted to ensure that no one missed out.

The caption read, “Who said MA$E don’t get busy man you gotta listen! @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi @thefinallaptour.”

Mase rapped, “I’m the illest of all, don’t ever put Mase with any Bad Boys … I see no integrity in your name.”

Mase was once signed to Diddy’s label, Bad Boy Records, but announced in 2022 that he had signed with competitor Snoop Dogg’s Death Row Records, (once owned by notorious Diddy rival, Suge Knight).

The 2012 BET Awards sparked some major rumors about Diddy and 50 Cent getting into a heated argument that turned into a physical fight.

Neither party went public to fully explain what happened, but fans were able to piece things together based on post-award show interviews from other artists and one media source in particular.

MediaTakeOut.com had first reported the alleged fight, but since deleted all details and former news about the supposed melee.

The site reported (via SOHH.com), “Here’s what happened.

Diddy and 50 started cracking jokes BACK AND FORTH — in a friendly way. But at some point, 50 started getting UPSET. His jokes went from PLAYFUL … to DISRESPECTFUL.

Fifty eventually got so RILED UP … that he called Diddy a “b***h.”

The outlet even claimed to have photos of the fight at one point.

The same outlet reported that Machine Gun Kelly gave an interview on “The Breakfast Club” claiming that 50 approached Diddy’s trailer asking some questions in a sarcastic manner, and the next thing he saw, the whole thing “popped off.”

WELCOME TO CALI TV obtained a very blurry video from WorldStarHipHop of the awards show scuffle, with the incident being seemingly scrubbed from the Internet.

The fight didn’t result in any arrests or charges, so it went mostly under the radar.

In 2014, 50 Cent released a music video for his song, “Animal Ambition.”

It was stylized with dark, sultry lighting (prominently featuring a vibrant crimson spotlight in the background) with the rapper acting somewhat sexually toward the women in his video.

Less than one year after “Animal Ambition,” Diddy released an ad campaign for his cologne, 3 a.m. by Sean John, with then-partner Cassie Ventura.

Diddy’s ad, which has since been removed but can be seen in a reaction clip with Diddy from “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” featured the same sultry, dark lighting (even having a bright red spotlight in the background in one scene).

However, Diddy was acting extremely sexually aggressive towards Ventura — as opposed to 50 acting more low-key — almost insinuating violence; chasing her, and even pretending to choke her.

We all know that 50 can be a bit petty, and he took to Instagram in a now-deleted post to call out the similarities between the videos.

Showing side-by-side stills of each one, he wrote (via HipHopDX) “Hmmmm pretty similar, Animal Ambition #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO did puffy copy my S***? LMAO should have at least let my director shoot it.”

His hashtag of #EFFENVODKA was speculated to be another dig at Diddy, as 50 had signed on to be the spokesperson for the vodka company, and Diddy was notably part owner and spokesperson of a competitor, CÎROC Vodka.
