The “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” rapper used courtroom sketches of Diddy’s sentencing to mock him on Instagram after the Bad Boy mogul faced emotional testimony from his children in court.
50 Cent continues to turn Diddy’s courtroom drama into social media ammunition, using viral sketches of the Bad Boy mogul’s emotional moments to taunt him across Instagram.
The Hip-Hop heavyweight posted a drawing of Diddy looking visibly distressed and paired it with a biting caption: “Damn them lawyers told puff he was coming home today. He paying all kinda money, they robbed him.”
That wasn’t the only jab. In another post, 50 mocked Diddy’s earlier confidence about avoiding prison time, writing, “Hey to whoever was booking Diddy for speaking engagement. I heard he won’t be able to make it, [shrugging emoji] I’m available! [grinning squinting emoji],” alongside a sketch of Diddy dabbing his eyes with a tissue.
He followed up with, “I think he dropped his pencil. I’m gonna send Jane to see him, to make sure he’s ok. How much you think she will charge for that? LOL,” a reference to one of Diddy’s victims.
The courtroom grew heavy with emotion as Diddy’s six children testified in his defense, pleading for leniency. His son Christian “King” Combs delivered one of the most heartfelt appeals, calling his father his lifelong role model.
“He is the greatest in the world, he is my hero, has always been my hero, and always will be my hero; he always taught me to treat women with respect… I ask you with the utmost respect, please give us grace and please give him mercy to let him out and become the man we all know he is.”
But evidently, 50 Cent doesn’t see him that way. In another post featuring a clip of a TMZ interview, he wrote, “Aww man he only got 2 years to do. The lawyer saying yes Sean is afraid someone’s gonna f### him. LOL.”
Judge Arun Subramanian ultimately handed down a 50-month sentence—just over four years—after weighing the prosecution’s request for 11 years against the defense’s push for 14 months. Diddy was also fined $500,000.
The charges stem from multiple counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution, each carrying a potential 10-year sentence. Diddy had faced up to 20 years in prison.
His legal team is expected to return to court Monday (October 6) to determine where he will serve his time.
