50 Cent, Aubrey O'Day react to Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial verdict: ‘The gay John Gotti'
'Beat the RIO, that boy a bad man,' 50 wrote, adding, 'He the gay John Gotti,' alongside clapping emojis. The jab was another addition to 50 Cent's ongoing commentary throughout Combs' legal saga. John Gotti was a mob boss who was similarly acquitted on racketeering charges.

Over the past several months, the rapper mocked witness testimonies, shared memes and even teased a documentary about the case. In one instance, after testimony alleging Combs once appeared at someone's home with a gun, 50 Cent posted, 'CUT. Puffy's got a gun, I don't feel safe. LOL.'
Now, with the trial over, his remarks signal no end to his long-standing feud with Diddy - which dates back to at least 2006 and was even referenced during court proceedings. Aubrey O'Day says she feels sick after the verdict
Singer and former Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day also weighed in after the verdict. Sharing her reaction on Instagram Stories, O'Day said she was 'physically ill.'
'Oh my God, not guilty on Cassie, not guilty on Rico, no way that Jane is gonna be guilty,' she said while recording CNN's live broadcast. 'This makes me physically ill. Cassie probably feels so horrible. Ugh, I'm gonna vomit,' she said, as per E! News.
The outlet added that O'Day, who once worked under Combs, has publicly criticized him before. Diddy still faces years in prison
According to Variety, Combs, 55, was found guilty of two counts involving transporting male sex workers across state lines for 'freak-offs' or drug-fueled sex parties. Though acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering, he still faces up to 20 years behind bars-10 years for each count.
After the verdict, Combs looked visibly relieved. He mouthed 'thank you' to jurors, shook his lawyers' hands, and turned to face his family.
His attorneys are now pushing for his release ahead of sentencing, offering a $1 million bond. Prosecutors strongly opposed the request. 'He has shown disregard for U.S. law,' said Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, pointing to testimony involving drugs and abuse.
Judge Arun Subramanian asked both sides to submit written arguments by 1 p.m. ET before ruling on Combs' potential release. FAQs: Q1. What was 50 Cent's reaction to Diddy's verdict?

Katy Perry recalls how she injured her knee during concert
Washington DC [US], August 8 (ANI): Ahead of the final Canadian stop of her Lifetimes Tour, singer-songwriter Katy Perry recalled a mishap from one of her concerts that left her with a bloody knee, reported E! News. Taking to her Instagram handle, she shared a picture of her bloodied gash on her right kneecap as her legs rested on the rim of a bathtub. Around her knee, other bruises appeared in a circular pattern. Other moments from the post include a snap of Katy and her ex Orlando Bloom's 4-year-old daughter Daisy, as well as a video of the toddler performing a puppet show, reported E! News. The former American Idol judge captioned the post, "We continue to be on tour." However, Katy's injury was not the only problem during her Lifetimes Tour performance. In fact, before her post, the 40-year-old came to the rescue of McKenna, a teenage fan who was brought on stage to perform alongside the singer and collapsed shortly later. In a video shared to social media, Katy stayed alongside McKenna as a medical team attended to her. Later in the show, she let the crowd know, "McKenna's doing great by the way," reported E! News. Last month, the "California Gurls" singer also endured an unexpected--and nearly dangerous--moment during her San Francisco concert. While riding around on a huge mechanical butterfly throughout the arena, the prop, which was soaring over the crowd, suddenly fell a few feet. Luckily, Katy maintained her position, and no one was injured, as per the outlet. After the concert, Katy laughed off the scary gaffe by sharing a zoomed-in pic of her horrified, in-the-moment reaction to Instagram alongside the caption, "Goodnight San Fran," reported E! News.
