50 Cent wasted no time cracking a joke about Diddy’s upcoming “speaking engagements” after the mogul was sentenced to just over four years behind bars.
“Hey to whoever was booking Diddy for speaking engagement. I heard he won’t be able to make it,” 50 wrote on Instagram. “I’m available.”
The jab came shortly after Judge Arun Subramanian handed down Diddy’s 50-month prison sentence for two counts of violating the Mann Act, along with a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release.
50 Cent’s jab was in direct response to Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik’s revelation that Diddy had already booked speaking engagements, expecting to be sentenced to time served as his legal team had requested.
“He has booked speaking engagements in Miami for next week,” Slavik told the court. “That is the opposite of the rule of law.”
The rapper’s latest quip is just the finale to months of trolling aimed at Diddy throughout his high-profile trial. The two have been locked in a long-running feud that spans decades.
Before the sentencing, 50 even addressed the judge on Instagram, writing, “I think you should consider the safety of the general public, your honor, before unleashing him upon them. There hasn’t been enough time for him to reform or make any adjustments, despite his trying to teach a class in there. Anyway, Diddy’s only going to return to hiring more male sex workers and keeping most of the baby oil away from the general public. And babies need it!”
In contrast, Diddy’s letter to the judge struck a much more somber tone. “I literally lost my mind. I was dead wrong for putting my hands on the woman that I loved,” he wrote, referring to Cassie Ventura. “I’m sorry for that and always will be. My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry.”
