Rapper 50 Cent is seeking sole custody of his son with ex Daphne Joy in light of her alleged involvement in a sex trafficking lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs. The couple dated between 2011 and 2012 and share a son named Sire, who is now 12 years old. Joy was named in a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed against Diddy, where she was accused of being one of the alleged sex workers that Diddy employed. 50 Cent is now pursuing sole custody of their son following these developments.
The music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed the lawsuit against Diddy in February, where he claimed that Diddy boasted about having multiple women on a monthly stipend, including Joy and two others. 50 Cent has insinuated that he was unaware of Joy’s alleged history with Diddy, making a public statement about it on Instagram. Diddy has had a tumultuous time since November 2023 when his ex-girlfriend Cassie accused him of sexual assault and physical abuse. Diddy denied these allegations as well as the subsequent claims made by others, including Jones.
Diddy’s lawyer has dismissed the claims made by Jones as lies and a grab for attention, stating that there is overwhelming proof that the allegations are untrue. The situation escalated when Homeland Security raided two of Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation. Diddy was not present during the raids and has not been arrested or charged with any crime. His attorney denounced the use of excessive force during the raids and the treatment of Diddy’s children and employees.
In response to the unfolding scandal involving Diddy and the sex trafficking investigation, 50 Cent has announced that he is working on a documentary about the situation that he believes will be record-breaking. The documentary will likely shed light on the allegations and controversies surrounding Diddy. For individuals who may be victims of human trafficking, the National Human Trafficking Hotline is available for assistance and support. The situation continues to develop, with both Diddy and 50 Cent at the center of the media attention surrounding the sex trafficking lawsuit and investigation.
