The ongoing legal troubles for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is no secret. On March 25, Combs’ homes were raided by the FBI and U.S Homeland Security. He is a person of interest in an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
Amid his legal troubles, Diddy’s son, Christian, released a song aimed at rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. 50 has shared a firestorm of social media posts aiming at the Bad Boy CEO’s legal troubles.
Meek Mill, 50 Cent Trade Shots Over Diddy
Following the debut of Combs’ new song, 50 responded to Diddy’s son, noting that he also has a sexual assault case under investigation. The Combs have at least one ally in Philadelphia-born rapper Meek Mill who had a harsh response for 50.
“Ya’ll n***** 50 and online beefing with kids,” Meek said in a tweet that has since been deleted.
However, 50’s response was equally as harsh. He noted the lackluster album sales from Meek’s latest project, HEATHENISM, which only sold 6,000 copies in its first week.
“You sold 6k copies of your last project, you should not be on Vacation. Still chasing the dream or embracing the nightmare. Standing by your man, that I respect!” 50 said in response to Meek.
Rapper Gets Backlash Over Kobe Lyric
It has been four years since the tragic helicopter crash that killed NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna. Bryant had a 20-year career so naturally, he was a mentor to many.
With that being said it should come as no surprise that famed Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill came under fire for a line, he wrote in an unreleased song referencing Bryant and the same crash that killed him.
“If I ever lack, I’m goin’ out with my chopper, it’ll be another Kobe,” Meek said.
Vanessa Bryant, wife and mother of Kobe and Gigi, called out the rapper in a message on Instagram.
“I find this line to be extremely insensitive and disrespectful. Period,” Bryant wrote via CNN. “I am not familiar with any of your music, but I believe you can do better than this. If you are a fan, fine, there’s a better way to show your admiration for my husband. This lacks respect and tact.”
