50 Cent mocks Jay-Z and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs with fake AI video of their arrest
50 Cent is continuing to make fun of Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs following the recent sexual assault lawsuit filed against them. The G-Unit boss, who never misses an opportunity to bash the two rappers, took to Instagram to share a fake AI video of the pair getting arrested.
Soundtracked by KRS-One’s 1993 classic ‘Sound of da Police’, the clip takes an old photo of Carter and Combs in tuxedos and turns it into a visual of them getting handcuffed and walked away by officers to a police car, concluding with them standing behind bars. “I want to post this but I’m afraid I’m gonna get shot. LOL,” 50 wrote in the caption of the post, which has since been deleted.
50’s followers were conflicted in the comments, with some seeing the funny side and others accusing him of bringing down black people. “LMFAOOO if you had your own talk show I’d watch,” one Instagram user said, with another person writing, “Whoever showed 50 how to use AI just opened up a whole new can of worms.”
On the flip side, someone else wrote, “50 is definitely Fed this is ridiculous, boy got too much confidence in promoting the downfall of his own people. Cointelpro.” Another added, “They love seeing a black man bettering other black men. You will not see an intelligent black man enjoying the downfall of another black man.”
Carter and Combs were accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 in a lawsuit that was refiled on December 8th, having originally been filed in the Southern District of New York in October without Carter’s name being included.
The anonymous accuser claims the incident occurred after she was driven to an after-party for the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. She alleges Carter removed her clothes, held her down and raped her while Combs and another celebrity watched. Then, she claims Combs raped her as Carter watched alongside the woman.
Carter denied the allegations in a statement on Roc Nation’s social media platforms, writing, “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!! Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away, would you not agree? These alleged victims would deserve real justice if that were the case.
“You have made a terrible error in judgement thinking that all ‘celebrities’ are the same. I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor. We protect children.”
He added, “My only heartbreak is for my family. My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people. I mourn yet another loss of innocence.”
Combs’ legal representatives also dismissed the lawsuits as publicity stunts and stated the “truth” about their client will “prevail” in court, claiming he has “never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”
