American rapper Diddy was spotted earlier month with Daphne Joy and just like his other relationships, this one also increased speculation among his fans. Both Diddy and Joy posted similar pictures from the same jet and iHeartRadio festival.

However, Joy's ex, rapper 50 Cent, seemed to confirm the news as he posted a picture of himself with their 10-year-old son Sire wearing gold shades, jokingly writing:

"Oh sh*t, that's your mommy over there with Puffy. LOL. Remember what I told you the other day, these b***he's be crazy. SMH."

Daphne Joy replied with a long statement on social media stating that she "hates speaking about her private life on social media" and feels that it must be addressed since "she is tired of her narrative of being what it is".

Mentioning that she is more focused on her son following her split with 50 Cent, she wrote:

"I have healed privately, matured. I value and cherish anyone I bring into my life and when I finally share a glimpse of my happiness, I feel I'm attacked for it."
