One of ' adversaries, 50 Cent, explained what set off alarm bells for him. As Diddy continues to be ensnared in , his former friend speaks out. , which accuse him of, among other things, rape and, from the very beginning, has been vocal about his support for the victims and distaste for Diddy.
However, the pair's fractured relationship split far before the accusations surfaced. Instead, 50 Cent hasn't spent time around him in years. He told : “He asked to take me shopping.
I thought that was the weirdest s--t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman and I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f---king with this weird energy or weird s--t,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.” Additionally, 50 clarified that he wasn't buds with Diddy, but rather just associates who worked on songs like Victory 2004 and I Get Money together.
From his point of view, he "wouldn't call it a friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other". Even in his roughest times, 50 avoided Diddy, no matter the financial benefit that might have come. When Jennifer Lopez told Diddy to hit up 50 Cent, the call came in and 50 declined it.
At the time, according to 50, his baby mother was not happy with the choice. "What the f--k? We ned money," he recalled her saying. "What? Why don't you want to talk to him?" But 50 Cent was determined to keep his distance, something he's held true.
