Sean 'Diddy' Combs' is being trolled about his sex trafficking trial by long-time adversary 50 Cent, who has mocked Combs on social media for not accepting a plea deal.
Combs was arrested in September and denies multiple charges in what is one of the most high-profile celebrity trials in recent memory.
Newsweek has reached out to representatives for 50 Cent and Combs via email for comment.
Why It Matters
A five-count indictment consisting of racketeering conspiracy, two charges of sex trafficking and two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution has been brought against Combs by federal prosecutors. The charges in the indictment stem from alleged crimes spanning from 2004 to 2024. If convicted, Combs faces life in prison.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all criminal counts and denies any wrongdoing.

byfor Live Nation/Combs and 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, have been engaged in a feud since the early 2000s, and Jackson has regularly shared his thoughts on Combs arrest and trial.
What To Know
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Jackson shared a photo of himself, which appears as though it was AI-generated, wearing a suit on the street in New York City.
"Down on your luck, not feeling good today? Well look at the bright side you could be Diddy," he wrote in the caption. The post has been liked over 315,000 times as of reporting.
On Wednesday, Jackson shared another post to Instagram, saying: "After listening to today's testimony, I think the diddler should have took [sic] the plea offer. The s*** they are saying is beyond me, so what do ya think?"
On May 1st, 2025, Combs formally rejected the US government's offer to plead guilty. Asked by the judge Arun Subramanian if he rejected the plea deal from the prosecution, he replied, "Yes, I do, your honor."
In another post, shared on Tuesday, Jackson commented on the accusations shared by Cassie Venture, Combs' ex-girlfriend.
Ventura, who is testifying in the trial, recalled the alleged abuse she faced at the hands of Combs during her first day of testifying as a witness. At one point during the testimony she gave, Ventura alleged that Combs had forced her to climb into an inflatable pool filled with baby oil.
Jackson addressed this in his Instagram post. He shared a screenshot of an article from People magazine, which reported on Ventura's allegations. He wrote "This s*** crazier than regular crazy."
What People Are Saying
Combs' lawyers, in a statement to CBS News New York last month: "These are not new allegations or new accusers. These are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships. This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion."
What's Next
The trial is expected to last between eight and ten weeks.

Watch JD Vance Call Senator Alex Padilla 'Jose'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Vice President JD Vance on Friday referred to Senator Alex Padilla of California as "Jose" while speaking to reporters. Vance made his remark while visiting Los Angeles amid the Trump administration's efforts to quell demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids targeting areas with high immigrant populations and labor-intensive industries in the area. While Vance was taking questions on Friday, a reporter referenced when Padilla was recently forcibly removed from a news conference that Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, held earlier this month. "The New York Times just did a story" about lawmakers who "keep getting handcuffed, suggesting that ... the Trump administration is cracking down on Democrats," the reporter said. "Can you comment on that?" "Well, I was hoping Jose Padilla would be here to ask a question, but unfortunately I guess he decided not to show up because there wasn't the theater," Vance said. "And that's all it is. I think everybody realizes that's what this is." JD Vance refers to Senator Alex Padilla as 'Jose Padilla' — Acyn (@Acyn) June 20, 2025 This is a breaking news story.
