50 Cent has denied claims of alleged physical and alleged sexual abuse made by his ex-partner Daphne Joy. The rapper replied to a series of claims made by Joy on March 28, which alleged 50 Cent (legal name Curtis Jackson) of allegedly “raping” and allegedly “physically abusing” her. Jackson and Joy share a son together.

Joy shared the allegations days after being named in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, which claimed that she allegedly received financial compensation for sex work. Upon hearing the news, it was reported that 50 Cent attempted to gain sole custody of their child, with Joy posting the allegations against the rapper on Instagram shortly afterwards.

Responding to her claims, Jackson said to The Hollywood Reporter: “The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy the mother of my twelve year old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire.

“The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son. My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus currently.”

Jones’ lawsuit filed last month primarily concerns claims that Diddy allegedly sexually assaulted him and threw frequent parties with alleged sex workers and allegedly underage girls. Diddy has denied all accusations and labelled them as “pure fiction”.

The case follows many allegations against the media mogul, who was accused of alleged rape and physical abuse in a lawsuit by his former partner Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura in November 2023. Combs denied the accusations and later settled out of court.
