50 Cent ridicules Usher for defending Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
50 Cent has mocked Usher after the R&B singer came out in support of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Usher sat down with Forbes this week and spoke positively about his relationship with Combs over the years, despite the rapper being in prison on prostitution charges.
It didn’t take long for 50 to come across his comments and share his reaction on social media.
Taking to Instagram, 50 shared a screenshot of the headline, “Usher Says He Doesn’t Have Anything ‘Negative’ to Say About Diddy While Praising the Producer’s Valuable Contributions.'”
In the caption, 50 alleged that Combs sexually assaulted Usher. He wrote, “Usher like, I don’t want people to know what he did to my ass. I’m a grown man now my ass is off limits. LOL.”
In another slide, 50 shared an Usher quote that reads, “In many ways, I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognised for the greatness that they offer. I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been misrepresented.”
Instagram users took to the comments to react to 50’s post, with one person writing, “My boy wakes up and chooses violence before he even puts that toothpaste on the brush.”
However, one person accused him of bullying. “And this is exactly why @50cent is a bully!!” they began. “I understand you coming after people who come for you but you coming after people that haven’t done anything to do but share a different experience than you is sad!! I be with you until I’m not smh you just be bullying people honestly.”
Someone else wrote, “Usher might just choose to sue you for those defamatory statements. You can’t control a grown man’s narrative.”
Combs executive-produced Usher’s debut album in 1994, with the singer also living with the Bad Boy boss for a year when he was a teenager.
