50 Cent comments on shocking Lil Baby photo from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs party
50 Cent has shared many opinions about Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs over the years. From publicly questioning the musician’s sexuality to insinuating he has dirty business practices, 50 Cent has gone out of his way to make fun of Combs. However, after a year of allegations and civil lawsuits, the ‘Many Men’ emcee has spoken about some of the white parties Combs threw and why he chose not to attend them.
During an appearance on the Flagrant podcast with Andrew Schulz, Fifty spoke about how disappointed he was to see a photo of Lil Baby at one of Combs’ parties. Opening up about his feelings when he first saw photos, the rapper explained, “I see those white parties with Diddy, and then they have Lil Baby in a sandwich. They’re hugging him from the front and the back and I was like, ‘Yo get off of him! That’s one of my favourite new artists!'”
Fifty was asked about the hugging pictures at the parties and why so many emerge. The Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ creator then detailed how strange he found it, stating, “Why’s everyone so happy to be there?! At regular parties, people aren’t like, ‘Let’s have a group hug!’ I’m just gonna shake your hand like, ‘Hey, wassup man.’ It’s a little too much fun. [Diddy] was too happy to have him there.”
Fifty then asserted that he never attended the parties, not because he assumed alleged crimes were being committed but because he only saw them as a way for Combs to “harness influence” and that it was more about power moves than it was about friendship.
He spoke about being a pariah and outside of hip-hop’s power circles, revealing, “I’ve been out of the ‘in-group’ before I got here. They already had relationships with Ja [Rule] and all these other people. So, the artist community was already connected to that. I just came and created my own bubble and just wanted to help other artists who I had signed to the label. Artists, which I thought had something. “
50 Cent has not only been speaking about Combs but has been speaking out about Jay-Z, Ray J and Rick Ross. His appearance on the Flagrant podcast came with some pushback as the host, recently found himself at the forefront of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef after getting called out of the Lamar on the track ‘Wacced Out Murals’.
During a September episode of Flagrant, Schulz stated, “[Men who date Black women] shave their hair because they start losing it because they are so stressed being around that Black girl complaining about sh*t all the fu**ing time.” However, on a GNX track, Lamar responded, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law.”
Still, 50 Cent seemed unbothered by it and was happy to appear on the podcast alongside the comedian.
