50 Cent took a shot at Sean “Diddy” Combs after his longtime rival was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges Monday night.
The “In da Club” rapper, 49, posted a picture on Instagram from his appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” and made a crack about the $1,000 bottles of lubricant and baby oil that were seized by Homeland Security at Combs’ home back in March.
“Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow,” 50 Cent’s caption began, alongside a snap of himself and Barrymore, 49.
“And I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house,” he added.
50 Cent has spent the past year trolling Combs, 54, amid the latter’s numerous legal troubles.
In July, before Combs’ arrest, 50 Cent did an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, stating he had never attended the mogul’s parties because he felt there was “just an uncomfortable energy connected to it.”
The “Power” producer and actor — who is making a documentary for Netflix about the sexual assault allegations against Combs — also clarified that he was never friends with him despite their history of working together.
“It was mostly work. I wouldn’t call it a friendship, because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other,” 50 Cent said. “There’s points that we worked together. Jennifer Lopez actually told him he should work with me as songwriter in the beginning. And I was around at the early stages, and he could have done my record deal at that point.”
When asked why other celebrities haven’t spoken up about Diddy, 50 Cent said, “Some of them were involved, at the parties and enjoyed themselves, so they don’t know what the f–k is on tape or what’s not on tape, so they’re not going to say anything because they might have had too much fun.”
Combs was arrested at the Park Hyatt New York in Manhattan on Monday night.
The record executive is facing three federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The 14-page unsealed indictment claimed Combs allegedly lured female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, often dayslong, sexual performances dubbed “Freak Offs.”
The women, who were often roped in under the pretense of a romantic relationship, would then be plied with drugs in a bid to keep them “obedient and compliant,” according to the court papers.
The indictment also revealed that feds discovered 1,000 bottles of lubricant and baby oil, as well as three AR-15s, when Combs’ mansions in Miami and Los Angeles were raided in March.
The bottles were allegedly used for the “Freak Offs,” during which Combs allegedly “hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair,” per the indictment.
He allegedly “threatened victims’ careers and livelihoods” if they refused to participate in the “Freak Offs.”
Following Diddy’s arrest, his lawyer said in a statement, “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
“He is an imperfect person but is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.”
Combs has been slapped with a slew of lawsuits in the past year by people who allege he subjected them to physical or sexual abuse during the height of his fame as a producer in the 1990s and 2000s.
