During an interview, 50 Cent, arguably one of hip-hop’s best trolls, didn’t miss the chance to take a stab at Sean “Diddy” Combs. According to the G-Unit founder, Diddy is one of his “favorite villains.”
The rapper had recently stopped by MS Now’s The Beat with host Ari Melber to discuss his latest project, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. The Netflix documentary works as an expose of the rise and fall of the disgraced mogul. Fif, who’s been a longtime rival of Diddy, was the executive producer of the docuseries. At one moment of the conversation, Melber asked the rapper to name his favorite heroes and villains. While Fif struggled to recall any heroes, he didn’t hesitate when it came to his favorite villain.
“I have a lot of guys that I look up to, their accomplishments,” Fif began. “But I wouldn’t call them my heroes.” He added, “My favorite villain? I kind of like Diddy. Back in October, Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison after being found guilty of two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution, under the Mann Act.
50 Cent Says His Diddy Docuseries Isn’t Driven by Personal Motives
In other news, during a recent conversation with GQ, he explained why he decided to help bring the docuseries to the platform. Jackson framed his involvement as a response to what he considers an uneasy quiet within the industry. Though he and Diddy have traded barbs for years, 50 Cent insisted the project was not born from past tensions. “If someone’s not saying something, then you would assume everybody in hip-hop is okay with what’s going on,” he said. He suggested that many in music tread lightly around Combs’ stature, creating a climate where critique is rare and often solitary.
50 Cent said he has grown accustomed to being one of the few willing to speak publicly. His remarks hint at a wider debate over power, loyalty, and who feels free to voice concern. The rapper emphasized that his executive producer title did not give him authority over the documentary’s narrative. “There’s no place for me; I didn’t make the docuseries,” he said. “I brought in the best possible people to create it.”
