50 Cent isn't holding back after being name-dropped in the explosive trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The rapper and media mogul — real name Curtis Jackson — responded with a flurry of satirical social media posts after courtroom testimony described an alleged gun threat aimed at him by Combs.

Courtroom Bombshell: “I Like Guns”

On Tuesday, Capricorn Clark - who worked for Combs as an assistant from 2004 to 2012 - took the stand to describe a string of violent incidents she claimed to have witnessed during her time with the Bad Boy Records founder. Among her revelations was a chilling interaction involving 50 Cent.

Clark testified that after a visit to MTV Studios in New York City — an event attended by both rappers — she rode in an elevator with Combs and an entertainment manager linked to both men, The Independent reports.

She recalled an escalating conversation between the two, culminating in Combs allegedly saying, “I don’t like all the back and forth … I like guns,” in a tone she described as “very serious.”

That courtroom comment quickly made its way to 50 Cent, who wasted no time delivering his trademark brand of mockery.


“I Don’t Feel Safe…LOL”

Shortly after the testimony, 50 Cent posted an AI-generated image of himself on a movie set, captioned, “Cut, CUT...Wait a minute PUFFY’s got a gun, I can’t believe this I don’t feel safe...LOL.” The jab didn’t stop there.

Later the same day, he uploaded another AI image — this time of himself looking startled in a Yankees cap — with the caption: “Oh my goodness itty bitty Diddy wants me Dead, I have to lay low, I think I’m gonna hide out at the playoff game tonight. LOL.”



He did just that, attending the Indiana Pacers’ game against the New York Knicks at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, sharing photos of himself enjoying the win.

One showed Tyrese Haliburton sprinting behind him, while another featured rapper Rob49. Yet another photo appeared to show him wearing a black shirt with “Free Diddy” printed across the front — though the original logo was actually Balmain. 50 Cent captioned the altered image: “Bro this game is crazy.”


A History of Online Jabs

This latest wave of trolling is far from out of character for 50 Cent. He has long taken shots at Combs online, often using memes and captions to lampoon Diddy’s legal entanglements. His posts have escalated as disturbing details emerge from the ongoing trial.

Clark’s testimony also included allegations that Combs kidnapped her at gunpoint and tried to recruit her in a plot to kill rapper Kid Cudi — who was romantically involved with Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura at the time. Other shocking accusations include threats made on Clark’s first day on the job and five straight days of lie detector tests.

Cassie has also taken the stand, testifying about forced “freak-off” sex sessions and other abuse.

Following her testimony, 50 Cent posted: “Damn he did all that s*** to go out like this, [shaking my head]...This s*** crazier th[a]n regular crazy.”

Netflix Docuseries and More Mockery

Never one to miss an opportunity, 50 Cent is also producing a Netflix docuseries titled Diddy Do It?, which will explore the sexual assault and rape allegations leveled against Combs.

He is executive producing the series alongside Alex Stapleton and David Karabinas. A release date has yet to be announced, but 50 Cent stated that proceeds will go to victims of the alleged crimes.

In one of his more savage posts, he shared an AI-generated image showing what Combs might look like after 20 years in prison, complete with grey hair and a solemn court-side stare. “What’s the spread on this, I got Diddy doing 20. His friends just got the f-- away from him. SMH BadBoy Dangerous,” he wrote.

After allegations surfaced that Combs destroyed Kid Cudi’s car with a Molotov cocktail in 2012, 50 Cent shared burnt-out car images with the caption, “Molotov Diddy was doing old school s--- out here. Old killer Rat Jimmy threw one them at us. LOL.”

Charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation to engage in prostitution, arson, and bribery, Combs faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted.
