50 Cent may often tease Diddy online, but as a fellow rap and business mogul, he seems more understanding now. While 50 Cent usually mentions Sean Combs online about legal issues, scandals, and criticisms, he recently expressed empathy for Diddy’s business struggles. Despite being in a legal battle with Suntory Global Spirits, 50 Cent reflected on the resolved dispute between Puff Daddy and Diageo, highlighting that both moguls have faced challenges from higher-ups. It’s a rare solidarity between the two, especially considering 50 Cent’s reputation for taunting Diddy online. In a recent Instagram post, 50 Cent mentioned discussing his Suntory dispute with Congressional and government figures during a visit to Capitol Hill.
“Puffy made Diageo a lot of money with ciroc, they were fine with that because he didn’t own anything,”
“Soon as he owns Deleón their relationship can’t work. I made @suntoryglobalspirits a lot of money with Effen soon as I own my own brands they did me dirty. They want black consumers, but they don’t want black business owners. True story.”
In March, 50 Cent sued Suntory for $6 million, claiming embezzlement. In May, he criticized the company for changing its name from Beam Suntory to @suntoryglobalspirits without addressing issues with his brands @bransoncognac and @lecheminduroi. He expressed disappointment, saying he had tried to resolve the matter twice and that the legal process would reveal the truth about @suntoryglobalspirits’s actions. Regarding Diddy, individuals who were previously quiet or defensive about the matter quickly shifted their stance when the world reacted to the Cassie footage, including comments from Kim Porter’s father. It remains uncertain what the next development in his legal matters will entail, but 50 Cent will provide commentary. Additionally, considering the outcome of his legal battle with Suntory, it will be interesting to observe whether he demonstrates more sympathy or draws more parallels.
