In a surprising turn of events, rapper 50 Cent is reportedly seeking sole custody of his son with ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy. According to a source close to the situation, the decision comes in light of Joy's alleged involvement in a sex trafficking lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The former couple, who dated from 2011 to 2012, split shortly after the birth of their son, Sire, who is now 12 years old. 50 Cent also shares another son, Marquise, with ex Shaniqua Tompkins.
Joy has recently been named in a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones against Diddy back in February. Jones accused the music mogul of sex trafficking multiple women, with Joy being named as one of the alleged sex workers employed by Diddy. Joy has not publicly addressed these claims.
The situation took a further twist when Homeland Security and local law enforcement reportedly raided Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami homes on March 25. The raids are said to be connected to a federal sex trafficking investigation, and Diddy is now under investigation.
It is worth noting that 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has implied that he had no knowledge of Joy's alleged history with Diddy. In a recent Instagram post, he wrote, "I didn't know you was a sex worker, 👀 you little sex worker. LOL 😆 Yo this s-t is a movie."
This is not the first time Diddy has faced such allegations. In November 2023, his ex-girlfriend Cassie accused him of sexual assault and physical abuse, although the claims were settled swiftly. Since then, other individuals, including Jones, have come forward with similar stories of alleged misconduct, which Diddy has vehemently denied.
Both 50 Cent and several other celebrities have weighed in on the situation following the raids on Diddy's properties. However, it is important to acknowledge that Diddy's lawyer, Shawn Holley, described Jones as a "liar" and stated that they have "overwhelming, indisputable proof" that Jones' claims are false.
As the custody battle ensues and the investigation continues, the truth behind these allegations remains to be seen. For now, all eyes are on 50 Cent's pursuit of sole custody of his son in light of the latest developments surrounding Joy's alleged involvement in the Diddy lawsuit.
