Christian Combs Suggests 50 Cent’s Discontent Stems from Diddy’s Relationship with Daphne Joy

50 Cent has consistently made it clear that his disdain for Diddy is profound. Although Diddy has mostly remained silent about the animosity, his son Christian has stepped into the fray, especially now that Diddy is serving time at Fort Dix. Christian has taken to social media to express his views, asserting that 50 Cent’s issue with his father stems from Daphne Joy, who was once 50 Cent’s girlfriend before dating Diddy. However, 50 Cent denies this, claiming the feud began well before Daphne entered their lives.

Christian Combs claims 50 Cent hates his dad because of his ex-girlfriend

Since Diddy’s incarceration, Christian Combs has emerged as a vocal defender of his father’s legacy. He not only maintains that his father is innocent but also seems determined to continue the battles his father left behind. His primary target has been 50 Cent, and in recent months, Christian’s comments about him have grown increasingly provocative.

Over the weekend, a clip of Christian Combs performing at a concert made its wa to social media. In the clip, the younger Combs tries to get the crowd to participate in a “Bad Boys” chant. It went absolutely nowhere, with the crowd nearly silent. 50 Cent, as is typical, didn’t miss a chance to troll a member of the Combs family. He shared the clip to his own Instagram, joking that King Combs’ timing was just off.

The hip-hop artist popped up in the comments section and took a swipe at 50 Cent. He suggested that the “Senior Citizen,” 50 Cent, was so angry and continuously posting about the Combs’ family because of his feelings about his son’s mother. In short, Christian Combs is suggesting 50 Cent’s entire feud is over Daphne Joy. She dated Diddy years after her split from 50.

Is Daphne Joy really the reason 50 Cent hates Diddy?

While Combs is right that 50 Cent has a history with Daphne Joy, there is plenty of evidence to back up 50’s claim that his feelings about Diddy stretch back years, long before he ever linked up with Daphne Joy. 50 Cent first referenced feeling uncomfortable around the rap mogul in the early 2000s.

In 2005, he criticized how Diddy ran his record label. In 2006, he suggested Diddy was involved in the death of Notorious B.I.G. in a diss track he released. The track is considered the formal jumping-off point of a feud. Over the years, 50 Cent has been critical of how Diddy treats younger rappers. He’s made negative remarks about his parties and his general vibe many times. 50 Cent even questioned Diddy’s sexual interests years before his arrest. It all happened before Diddy ever laid eyes on Daphne Joy.

50 Cent and Daphne Joy linked up in 2011. The pair dated pretty steadily through that year, but split in 2012, a few months after their son, Sire, was born. Almost 10 years later, in 2021, Daphne Joy was spotted spending time with Diddy. The pair appeared to become an item in 2021 and dated until Diddy’s legal drama began to unfold in 2024. While Daphne Joy did not publicly testify against Diddy, reports suggest she may have been the anonymous witness who spent hours on the stand towards the end of the troubled mogul’s trial.
