The rapper’s latest taunt towards Sean “Diddy” Combs came on Tuesday with a post on X.

“Here I am keeping good company with @DrewBarrymoreTV and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house,” the rapper posted along with a picture of him with Drew Barrymore.

On Monday, Combs was arrested following a grand jury indictment. He was hit with three felony charges, including sex trafficking, according to the unsealed indictment.

The indictment charges Combs, the founder of Bad Boy Records, with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges on Tuesday during an appearance in Manhattan federal court.

Federal prosecutors allege that for decades Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”

Combs, according to the indictment, “used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers.” Combs called these acts “Freak Offs,” according to prosecutors.

During the March raids on Combs’ Florida and California mansions law enforcement seized “various Freak Off supplies” that included narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, prosecutors said in the indictment.

The last taunt by 50 Cent happened when Combs’ mansions were raided by authorities

The March raids prompted the last taunts by 50 Cent to Combs.

On Instagram, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, joked about the situation. He posted a screenshot of a TMZ article about the raid criticizing Combs in the caption, but it has since been deleted. He wrote: “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy Done. They don’t come like that unless they got a case.”

Page Six reported 50 Cent also posted a screenshot of Combs’ two sons in handcuffs, but the picture has been deleted.

In the caption, he wrote: “Shit just got real. The Fed’s in all the cribs, damn they got the kids in cuffs.”

Combs denied the various allegations against him. In December, he posted a statement on X saying: “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.”

50 Cent and Combs’ beef started in 2006

The feud between the two rappers publicly kicked off in 2006 when 50 Cent released a diss track called “The Bomb,” which claims that Combs knows who shot and killed The Notorious B.I.G. in March 1997.

Since then, the pair have made numerous comments about each other. In 2010, for example, Combs described 50 Cent as a “hating ass crap” after he became the manager of Rick Ross in 2009 — another rapper that 50 Cent had beef with, according to HipHopDX.

50 Cent also got involved when Combs’ ex-partner Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit in November 2023 alleging rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking. She claimed that she was trapped in a “cycle of abuse” with the rapper.

Combs settled the case a day after Ventura filed the suit.

In December, 50 Cent said his production company was working on a documentary about the sexual-assault allegations against Combs. He later posted a clip from the documentary featuring the Bad Boy Records rapper Mark Curry alleging that Combs spiked girls’ drinks at parties.

A representative for 50 Cent told Variety in December: “The untitled ‘Diddy’ documentary is in development through G-Unit Film and Television with Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson serving as Executive Producer, proceeds from this documentary that G-Unit Film & Television receives will go to victims of sexual assault and rape.”

Representatives for 50 Cent and Combs did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
