50 Cent EXPLODES at podcast host for suggesting his ex Daphne Joy was involved in Diddy freak-offs
50 Cent didn't hold back after a podcast host floated the idea that his ex Daphne Joy was involved in one of Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' 'freak offs.' As Diddy faces a federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors have accused the music mogul of running a criminal enterprise that supported what he allegedly called 'freak offs'—drug-fueled orgies involving paid sex workers. His ex-girlfriend Cassie recently testified about her experiences, and male escort Sharay Hayes—also known as The Punisher— opened up about his role in an exclusive interview with On a recent episode of Talk with Flee, Killa Cam sat down with Hayes and grilled him about the high-profile names reportedly involved—including Daphne Joy, who shares 12-year-old son Sire Jackson with 50 Cent. Cam asked Hayes, 'We hear about 50's baby mama Daphne being involved in some of these things—did you ever f* Daphne?' to which Hayes replied, 'Nah, every time I was called or involved in any way, it was only Cassie, specifically.' As Diddy faces a federal sex trafficking trial, prosecutors have accused the music mogul of running a criminal enterprise that supported what he allegedly called 'freak offs'—drug-fueled orgies involving paid sex workers; (Diddy in 2020) But 50 wasn't having it, reposting the clip to Instagram and firing back: 'Well here come the bullsh**, don't kiss my boy Pee Pee Mouth.' Last year, Joy was accused of being one of several women allegedly paid by Diddy for sex—an explosive claim that 50 quickly seized on, mocking her online. Joy clapped back with force at the time, writing online: 'Everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening now. You are wreaking real havoc, frenzy, and chaos onto people's lives.' Joy then made a shocking accusation: 'Let's put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on.' Though she later deleted the post, 50 responded by filing a defamation lawsuit— only to later drop the case. The podcast dust-up follows 50 Cent's vow to personally contact President Donald Trump in an effort to block any potential pardon for Diddy if the Bad Boy mogul is convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking. Last week, Trump said he would 'look at the facts' of the case, acknowledging that he and Diddy once had a friendly relationship. 'If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact,' the president added. But 50 wasn't having it, reposting the clip to Instagram and firing back: 'Well here come the bullsh**, don't kiss my boy Pee Pee Mouth' Last year, Joy was accused of being one of several women allegedly paid by Diddy for sex—an explosive claim that 50 quickly seized on, mocking her online But 50, a longtime Diddy critic, made it clear he intends to remind Trump of the history between them. 'Donald doesn't take well to disrespect, and doesn't forget who chooses to go against him... while working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction,' said 50 Cent. 50 Cent has long made it clear how he feels about his rap nemesis, and he's never missed a chance to troll Diddy online. Lately, he's taken things to another level—ramping up his attacks with a string of wild, AI-generated images mocking Diddy and the explosive allegations tied to his trial.

Diddy bodyguard clashes with fans outside courthouse as freak-off claims and trial drama reaches boiling point
Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' former bodyguard had an intense confrontation with fans outside the New York City courthouse about his alleged involvement in freak-offs. Gene Deal, who protected the disgraced rapper throughout the 1990s, was seen being bombarded by several people on Tuesday - day 10 of the blockbuster trial. Despite explosive testimonies playing out inside the federal courtroom, events outside quickly got heated after Deal was asked about the drug and sex-fueled freak-offs Diddy is accused of orchestrating for several years. While he appeared to enter the courthouse, Gene stopped in his tracks as a man off-camera shouted at him: 'Hey G, I talked to Randy Pittman last night, a white guy, who said in 2004, you was at a party with P. Diddy, and you held him down with two minor kids. 'I did an interview with him on my YouTube last night. What do you have to say about that Gene?,' he added in the video posted on TikTok. Gene seemingly looked toward the man as he shouted accusations at him while a woman got close to him and shoved a phone in his face, and a man snapped pictures of him with a camera. 'He said you was at a Puffy party! You gave him E pills and you held two minors down as well as him Gene, I interviewed him on my YouTube,' the man continued. 'He filed a lawsuit!' he added as another man kept repeating the word 'allegedly.' Gene then appeared to look towards the yelling man and said: 'I'll speak to you when you get inside. 'You coming back in right? Alright I'll see you when you get inside,' Gene said as he entered the building. This was reportedly not the first dramatic interaction Deal had outside the courthouse, as he allegedly got physical with a person 'harassing him' at the trial, according to The Art of Dialogue. Gene was 'told not to return to the Diddy trial for a few days' following the outburst, per the outlet. A video, posted by the outlet, appeared to show Gene going back and forth in a heated exchange with a man. 'You're not gonna tell me what to do,' the man told Gene as the bodyguard turned toward him. 'You can't come up on me! If you come up on me, I'm gonna knock you the f*** out,' Gene yelled back. Gene then continued walking ahead as a woman started screaming at the other man. Diddy's former bodyguard is one of many big names who have been vocal about the allegations against the music mogul. The 55-year-old's staggering downfall began when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a bombshell lawsuit in 2023 detailing horrific claims of sexual abuse and violence at the hands of her ex-partner. The lawsuit was settled for $20 million just a day after it was filed, but it was too late for Diddy's reputation as the rapper was then hit with dozens of lawsuits detailing similar claims. Diddy denies all allegations against him. His lawyers admit he's a woman beater - although he does not face domestic abuse charges - but that he is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering. In a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Deal said he believes the pressure from hearing hours of testimony about his 'dirty deeds with Cassie' will 'break' Diddy. 'He can't take sitting right there and hearing all of his dirty deeds with Cassie,' he claimed. 'He's hearing all of his deeds in front of him and he ain't high. He ain't drunk... He gone break bruh. I'm telling you. 'He'll end up asking his defense team to see if y'all can still get me that deal,' he continued.

Diddy trial live: Combs's second alleged victim Mia to give evidence - as stylist recalls 'attack'
Stylist tells court Cassie kept 'freak offs' from him for several years The defence's cross-examination of stylist Deonte Nash now goes back to the alleged violent incident mentioned earlier (14.38 post), in which Cassie cut her head. Nash apparently saw alleged victim "Mia" video calling Cassie on Facetime and saw she had a black eye, attorney Xavier Donaldson says. "Yes," the stylist replies. Asked if he saw a picture or a video, he says no, but he "saw it in person, when her make-up wears off you can see it". Cassie had a press event about a week later, he adds. Donaldson then returns to Nash's testimony about a time in 2013 when Ventura told him that sex videos Combs was allegedly threatening to release publicly showed her with other men. Cassie has accused Combs of forcing and coercing her into "freak offs", sexual encounters with male escorts, and claims he filmed them and made threats about the footage. Yesterday, the court heard that prior to 2013, Nash had told Cassie not to worry, as he thought Combs was also in the footage and therefore wouldn't jeopardise his own reputation. Nash, who has been friends with Cassie since 2008, confirms this was the first time he learnt she was having sex with other men. "That part of her life she kept from you?" Donaldson asks. "Yes," Nash replies. Stylist tells court he set Cassie up with actor Michael B Jordan Stylist Deonte Nash now confirms he has been friends with Cassie for 15 years and speaks to her every day. He tells the court that he knows of Kid Cudi – the rapper Cassie had a brief relationship with in 2011 – but he did not know the romance overlapped with Cassie's on-off relationship with Sean Combs. He says Cassie did not tell him that she and Combs had broken up, but "people on the team said it". Questioning by defence lawyer Xavier Donaldson now turns to 2015, when Cassie spent time in South Africa to shoot a film. "Mia", another alleged victim who will testify later today, was also there. Another stylist saw Diddy with another woman in Miami at around this time, the court hears. Nash tells jurors that when Cassie heard, she said something like: "Why is he out humiliating me, trying to ruin my career?" Donaldson then asks about the actor Michael B Jordan, star of Black Panther and the Creed films, whose name has come up previously during the trial. "Yes, I did hook her up with Michael B Jordan," Nash says. "I know where we're going with this. He's fine, she's fine. I mean, why not?" Nash, who has been reminded by Judge Arun Subramanian to stick to answering the questions put to him, says Cassie was not with Diddy at this point. Donaldson also asks about another of Cassie's relationships, which Nash says at first that he doesn't know anything about. Then he adds: "Oh, the cute football player? Yes." This was close to 2017, he says. Stylist explains why he didn't give full details of alleged attack on Cassie by Diddy Attorney Xavier Donaldson is asking questions for the defence and starts by checking how stylist Deonte Nash is doing. "Blessed," he replies. The cross-examination turns to Capricorn Clark, a former employee of Sean "Diddy" Combs, who gave evidence on Tuesday. Clark alleged that in 2011, Diddy kidnapped her at gunpoint when he went to confront rival rapper Kid Cudi after learning he had been seeing his then on-off partner Cassie. Nash says he "learned a lot from" Clark while she was employed at Diddy's Bad Boy Records and that they worked together in 2016 for Cassie's song Love A Loser, which was released in 2017. Asked about Cassie's styling around that time, Nash says it was "curated" and that they needed approval from Diddy, which they got. Donaldson then asks about an incident in which Cassie "suffered a gash on her head", which came up during Nash's evidence yesterday. The stylist said he was at Cassie's apartment, helping her pack for a music festival, when Diddy stormed in, grabbed her by the hair, pulled her off a couch and hit her repeatedly. Mr Nash said he and alleged victim Mia – set to give evidence later – jumped on the rapper's back in an attempt to get him to stop. Donaldson asks Nash to confirm he saw Cassie hit her head on a bed frame and he confirms he did. Asked if Diddy "kept kicking her", he replies: "Yes." The defence lawyer says Nash met with the government many times when questioned about this case, but never mentioned the kicking. "They didn't ask," Nash replies. He says he gave as little information as possible and only answered what he was asked. Remember, he has been subpoenaed – legally ordered – to give evidence in court. Stylist Deonte Nash returns to the stand After further legal discussions, stylist Deonte Nash is now returning to the stand to give evidence. Today he is wearing a white shirt, a jacket and a large pair of jeans. Sean "Diddy" Combs is wearing a cream sweater over a white shirt. The plan was for Nash's evidence to finish yesterday but cross-examination took longer than anticipated. Nash has been subpoenaed to give evidence – meaning he is there following a legal order – and he made it clear yesterday it was not his choice to be in court. Jurors now hear he has a flight at 2pm New York time – 7pm here in the UK – and prosecutor Maurene Comey says she hopes he can make it. Motion to strike expert witness testimony denied by judge Before the trial resumes hearing evidence, there are a few legal matters to tend to. A motion was made by the defence to strike testimony given by psychologist Dawn Hughes last week – which Judge Arun Subramanian has now denied. She told the court victims of abuse often experience a "low sense of self" and tend to stay with abusers because they yearn for the love and compassion experienced in a relationship's early "honeymoon phase". Hughes, who appeared as an expert witness – meaning she has specialised knowledge in her particular field but is not involved directly in the case – also explained how a victim's memory can sometimes become jumbled; retaining awareness of abuse, but mixing up details. She did not examine Cassie or Combs, the court heard. The defence's argument that her testimony was "pseudoscience" was rejected by the judge. Court in session Today's hearing is now under way. Deonte Nash, a former stylist for Sean Combs and his former partner Cassie, will be back on the stand soon after beginning his testimony yesterday. We'll bring you all the latest from his evidence. Alleged victim Mia 'wanted to take secret of what Combs did to the grave' Today's hearing should be getting started shortly. As we reported earlier, the trial is later set to hear from another alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs. While fellow alleged victim Cassie waived her right to anonymity, this woman is not being named in court and so the pseudonym "Mia" is being used instead. We know a little about her already from the opening statement given by the prosecution at the start of the trial. Mia was "worked to the bone for years" as an assistant of Combs, the prosecution said. She alleges that Combs forced himself on her sexually and forced her to perform a sex act. She also alleges he snuck into her bed to have sex with her against her will. Combs, together with "trusted bodyguards and advisors... agreed to commit different crimes, including kidnapping and arson, distributing drugs to other people, exploiting employees for labour - and in Mia's case, sex, bribery and obstruction, sex trafficking, and transporting people for prostitution," the prosecution's opening statement said. "Mia will tell you how she could not talk about what happened to her until recently, how she wanted to take the secret of what the defendant did to her to her grave." As always, there are no cameras in court but we should have some artist sketches of the proceedings later today. However, Judge Arun Subramanian has said there will be no sketches of Mia to preserve her anonymity. Who is giving evidence today? Yesterday, evidence from Deonte Nash, a former stylist for Combs and his ex Cassie, overran. He is due to continue his testimony when proceedings resume today. Once he finishes, the court will hear from Mia, a pseudonym for the second alleged victim in the case. Her evidence is expected to last until Friday. A reminder of the charges While we wait for court to start again today, here's a reminder of the five felony charges faced by Sean "Diddy" Combs: Racketeering conspiracy; Two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; Two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper was initially charged with three offences - racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Two extra counts - one each of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution - were added earlier in April. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. What the charges mean Racketeering broadly means engaging in an illegal scheme or enterprise, and the charge falls under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organisations Act (RICO) in the US. According to the US justice department's definition of RICO statute, it is also illegal to "conspire to violate" the laws. The prosecution alleges that between 2008 and 2024, Combs "led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labour, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes". Welcome back for day 12 of the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial Welcome back to our coverage of the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs. The rapper faces five felony charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. He denies all charges. Today will be day 12 of the trial. Yesterday, we heard from three witnesses – including stylist Deonte Nash, who alleged that Diddy beat his ex Cassie during their relationship. Nash also revealed that Cassie gave birth to her third child on Tuesday, just two weeks after she testified against her former partner in court. Jurors also heard from LAPD officer Chris Ignacio and fire department officer Lance Jiminez. Ignacio was involved in an investigation into a 2011 break-in at rapper Kid Cudi's house, while Jiminez was called to a suspected arson attack on one of Cudi's cars in 2012. During his evidence last week, Cudi alleged Diddy was behind both incidents – a claim the defendant's lawyers denied. Catch up with a summary of what we heard from them in our full recap of day 11 below...

Sex trafficking claims scupper sale of Diddy's LA mansion
A Los Angeles mansion belonging to Sean 'Diddy' Combs is still on the market eight months after it was put on sale for $61.5 million amid his high-profile court case. The rap mogul listed the ten-bedroom, 13-bathroom estate in one of the city's most glamorous neighbourhoods a week before his arrest last September. The property was raided by federal agents a year ago as part of their investigation into alleged sex trafficking. Combs, 55, is on trial for sex trafficking in New York, where he faces the prospect of decades behind bars. He denies all the charges. Cassandra Ventura, Combs's former partner, has testified that the notorious sex parties known as 'freak-offs' did not take place at the Holmby Hills property. However, experts say

Trump hotel was Diddy's favourite, sex trafficking trial told
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' favourite hotel was the Trump International in New York, a jury at the music mogul's sex trafficking trial has heard. David James, who was Combs' personal assistant from 2007 until 2009, told Manhattan federal court he was in charge of arranging the hotel rooms for his employer and keeping them supplied. Trump International hotel in New York was the record producer's 'favourite', he said on Monday, claiming the staff 'knew me very well' and 'gave me a key'. He said he booked rooms under the pseudonym 'Frank Black' and was tasked with ensuring they were stocked with fresh underwear, vodka, apple sauce, baby oil, viagra and condoms. Mr James testified that in 2008, after bringing an iPod from Combs' Miami home to his hotel room, he opened the door to see his employer's then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, on a bed while a naked man he did not recognise fled the room. Ventura, who was in the witness box last week, told the court Combs had forced her into sex parties known as 'freak-offs' with male escorts during their 10-year relationship. The drug-fuelled sessions could last as long as four days, and frequently took place in hotels, leaving the rooms trashed and smeared with baby oil, she claimed. Tearfully recalling his first days as Combs' assistant, Mr James said an executive at the music mogul's company, Bad Boy Entertainment, told him his job was to 'serve' his employer. 'I remember sitting at her desk and there was a picture of Mr Combs on the wall,' Mr James told the court. 'She pointed at the wall and said: 'This is Mr Combs' kingdom. We're all here to serve him.'' Combs is charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex-trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted on all counts, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and could face life in prison. He has pleaded not guilty on all counts.
