Rapper 50 Cent took to social media to comment on Sean "Diddy" Combs amid the latter's ongoing high-profile trial for s*x trafficking and racketeering. 50 has publicly criticized Diddy even before the trial began and continues to drag the latter. In his latest post, the rapper claimed that Diddy was paying people to protest on his behalf.
Fif shared an Instagram video on Sunday, May 18, 2025, which showed people gathering outside the Manhattan federal courthouse wearing black t-shirts with "FREE DIDDY" printed at the front. In the caption, 50 Cent alleged that they were paid by the Bad Boy mogul himself. However, he admitted that the rapper has been generous with how much he allegedly paid the supposed protesters:
"Diddy paying people to wear Free Diddy shirts is diabolical, but $20 an hour ain't bad. I might go throw that on for half an hour tomorrow. LOL."

Fif's comments came after allegations that the "Free Diddy" protestors were paid $20 per hour ran rampant. Journalist Emilie Hagen uploaded a video on Instagram on May 17, 2025, asking one of the bystanders about the protest outside the courthouse. The woman claimed that someone offered her $20 to participate, but she refused.
What has 50 Cent recently said about Diddy amid the latter's ongoing trial?
The first week of Diddy's high-profile federal trial in New York kicked off on Monday, May 12, 2025, in Lower Manhattan. The trial has drawn huge media attention, and people have shared various reactions online. 50 Cent has also shared his own commentaries about the Bad Boy founder over the past week.
Fif took a shot at Diddy for his alleged fetishes on May 14, 2025, and shared a screenshot of a People article about one of Cassie Ventura's allegations. Ventura had alleged that Diddy had asked her to get in a baby oil-filled inflatable pool.
"D*mn he did all that sh*t to go out like this, SMH This sh*t crazier than regular crazy," Fifty wrote in the caption.
The following day, 50 Cent took to Instagram once again to offer his commentaries on the ongoing trial. He said that after listening to that day's testimonies, he thinks that Diddy should have taken the plea offer.
Meanwhile, in a separate post, he took aim at Diddy and Jay-Z's friendship. Alongside a clip showing pictures of the two moguls throughout the years, Fif wrote in the caption:
"Friends till the end, Jay you still there? We blew up Kid Cudi's car to show him who's the BOSS! LOL."
50 Cent continued trolling the rapper throughout the week, including posting an AI video of Diddy drinking baby oil inside his jail cell while decked in his orange prison uniform.
During the first week of his trial, Diddy's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, testified against the rapper and shared details of the reported "freak off" parties. She also revealed that he paid her $20 million to settle her 2023 civil lawsuit against him.
Special agent Yasin Binda from the human trafficking group of the Department of Homeland Security and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard also took the stand before the trial took a break for the week.
