During a recent screening of his Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, held at Wild Cherry in New York City, 50 Cent found himself addressing the viral controversy surrounding a leaked sex tape featuring Diddy and his former partner, Daphne Joy.
The hip-hop mogul did not shy away from the subject during the event’s Q&A session. When asked for his thoughts on the footage, which also included a male sex worker, 50 Cent maintained a detached stance. “We haven’t had any intimacy for 12 years. She could be out back with a dog for all I care,” he remarked, a comment that drew audible reactions from the audience.
50 Cent further suggested that he had considered including Joy in his documentary, arguing that she represented a unique perspective as someone who, in his view, was not a victim in the context of the “Freak-Off” sessions. He went on to offer a broader, albeit polarizing, critique of the situation, stating, “When we think of women, we go empowerment for women, but let’s not forget that there’s some hoes… [and predators]. So there are people who are there who are looking for those things. They look for that.”
Alexandria Stapleton, the director of the documentary, intervened to clarify that Joy had been invited to participate in the project but ultimately declined the offer. For her part, Joy addressed the situation via a statement on Threads, acknowledging her past choices. “Everybody plays the fool sometimes and I’ve been the biggest fool,” she wrote. “I just wanted my man at the time to be happy and satisfied… I wanted to fulfill all his desires, even if that meant breaking my own boundaries.”
The relationship between 50 Cent and Daphne Joy has long been complicated, marked by a years-long custody battle over their 13-year-old son, Sire. This latest public exchange highlights the ongoing tension between the two as the broader legal and social fallout surrounding Diddy continues to unfold.
