‘Me and Puff Fight Over Business’: 50 Cent Responds to Rumors That Diddy Is Dating His Youngest Son’s Mother

50 Cent doesn’t care if Diddy dates his ex, as long as it doesn’t mess with his checks.

The businessman has responded to reports that the head Bad Boy himself is courting his ex-girlfriend and son Sire’s mother, model Daphne Joy, and made it clear that the only rivalry that exists between him and Diddy is in the money-making arena.

In an Instagram post shared on April 9, the “Power” boss reshared a screenshot of a photo of Diddy and Daphne together and made his stance on the possible relationship clear in his captions. “πŸ‘€Nah me and puff fight over business s**t,” he wrote. “If he like the girl, he like the girl πŸ‘€I don’t give a f**k! #bransoncognac #lecheminduroi.”

50 Cent and Daphne Joy were together from 2011 to 2012, but continue to co-parent their 8-year-old son Sire Jackson. 50 has been dating his current girlfriend, Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines, since 2019 and appears to be falling hard, so it’s no wonder he isn’t too concerned with Joy’s personal business.

The hip-hop moguls have shared an interesting history throughout the years. 50 aimed his notorious trolling side at the Revolt co-founder back in 2015 amid their vodka brand war and recently accused Diddy of owing money to the Black Mafia Family, who serve as inspiration for his upcoming Starz series of the same name.

Fans commended 50 for his maturity, then commenced flaming Diddy for his apparent love of exes in the post’s comments.

“Love that you don’t give a f**k πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ and Damn Diddy be with everybody even his kids ex’s πŸ˜©πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚”

“πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ oh 50 grown grown….nice”

“Puffy quietly belongs to the streets πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚”

“7 billion people in the world but people wanna mess with exes from around the way, s**ts crazy”

“Diddy a leftovers typa guy πŸ˜‚ im sure he has stocks in microwave companies πŸ˜‚”

Additional notable exes that Diddy has been linked to include son Justin Combs’ ex Lori Harvey, and Biggie’s ex Lil’ Kim.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
