50 Cent blasts ex Daphne Joy as a SEX WORKER and accuses her of trying to have ... trends now
The rapper 50 Cent's online battle with his ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy got even uglier on Thursday after he branded her a 'sex worker' in an Instagram post linking her to the embattled hip hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
The 48-year-old In Da Club rapper shared a photo of Diddy with Joy, 37, when they were pictured together in Miami Beach in 2021 as he accused her of turning to the 54-year-old rapper-turned-entrepreneur for money after he turned down her advances.
50 Cent's post arrived shortly after Joy accused him of raping her in a blistering Instagram post.
She also claimed that he had been an absent father to their 11-year-old son Sire. 50 Cent denied her allegations in a statement shared with DailyMail.com.
The latest back-and-forth between the exes was set off after the music producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones alleged in a sex trafficking lawsuit filed against Diddy that Joy was a sex worker who had been paid by the Bad Boy Records founder. She has denied the lawsuit's claim that she was a sex worker and has branded it 'character assassination.'

50 Cent appeared to have reposted the photo of Diddy and Joy around a pool to emphasize their closeness in his post.
'You moved a mile away in hopes of having another baby with me but I was busy,' the rapper (real name: Curtis Jackson III) began his caption while addressing his ex.
He went on to claim that she then turned to Diddy for support after he rebuffed her.
'So you moved back and then you started receiving money from Brother Love. Now here we are, little sex worker,' he added. Diddy legally changed his middle name from 'Sean' to 'Love' in 2017.
50 Cent concluded his post on an odd note by tagging his cognac and champagne labels.
'Delusional,' Joy simply wrote in a comment on the post.
Later on Thursday, he returned with another Instagram post that appeared to allude to the lawsuit naming Joy as a sex worker.
The rapper reposted a photo of himself with a graphic claiming his 'Final Lap Tour' was on track to be among the 'top 3 highest grossing hip-hop tours of all time.'
'Whistle while you work guys, that's my theme for today,' he began his caption.
'I made all this money and I'm practicing abstinence, [shrugging emoji] I don't want a little sex worker,' he added, before again tagging his alcohol brands, as well as the account for his tour.
Later on Thursday, 50 Cent bragged about his successful tour while again alluding to claims that his ex was a 'sex worker,' which she has called 'character assassination
Joy has accused her ex-boyfriend 50 Cent of rape, physical abuse, and of being an absent father to their 11-year-old son Sire (pictured with son Sire)
Earlier, Joy accused her ex-boyfriend of rape, physical abuse, and of being an absent father to their son Sire.
Joy made the allegations in a statement she posted to Instagram on Thursday — but the rapper denied her accusations in a statement obtained by DailyMail.com.
The serious claim was dropped mere days after 50 Cent publicly mocked rival Sean 'Diddy' Combs following the double raid on his estates, which occurred in the context of a sex trafficking investigation into the mogul.
Fueling 50 Cent's anger was likely the revelation that Joy was identified as the 'sex worker' mentioned in the bombshell lawsuit filed against Diddy by an ex-employee - Joy has adamantly denied the accusation, calling it 'character assassination.'
Joy dropped the rape claim amid news that 50 Cent is seeking sole custody of their pre-teen son.
In text written over a black background on Instagram, Joy slammed her ex: 'Let's put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father.'
'Curtis James Jackson,' she began, addressing him by his full name. 'Everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening now. You are wreaking real havoc, frenzy, and chaos onto people's lives. How would u feel if Sire was the one in handcuffs? For nothing,' she wrote.
'We moved to New York to give you the opportunity to be a father to your son and you saw him 10 times out of the 2 years that we lived 1 mile away from you. I am tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned,' wrote scorned mother of his child.

'Let's put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me. You have broken our hearts for the last and final time.'
Jackson's representative released a statement on his behalf with DailyMail.com, denying the accusations: '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.'
Sire is 11 years old, not 12, as his father labels him in a statement.
'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 at this time,' he said.
In an Instagram post he put up Thursday evening, 50 Cent wrote to his ex, seemingly as a response to her words: 'You moved a mile away in hopes of having another baby with me but I was busy. So you moved back and then you started receiving money from Brother Love. Now here we are, little sex worker.'
50 Cent is 'seeking sole custody' of his and ex Daphne Joy's son after she was named as the 'sex worker' named in a $30m lawsuit against Diddy, which alleges the latter paid a monthly fee for sexual services to her.
Joy dated 50 Cent between 2011 and 2012 and shares son Sire with him.
A source told USWeekly on Thursday: 'Given the latest developments and news of Daphne Joy’s involvement in the Diddy lawsuit, 50 is going for sole custody of his son.'
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for 50 Cent and Joy for comment.

Joy shared a cryptic social media post amid the legal drama on Wednesday - posting a scenic snap hiking, captioned: 'Thank you God for your love.'
The social media star was also seen working out in the gym as the drama unfolded.
This comes after 50 Cent responded to bombshell claims the mother of his son is the 'sex worker' named.
50 Cent posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday, writing: 'I didn't know you was a sex worker [side eye emoji] you little sex worker. LOL [laughing emoji] Yo this s**t is a movie.'
The rapper of 'In Da Club' and 'P.I.M.P.' fame followed the post with a link to his merch store and two pictures of him smoking a large cigar, holding an umbrella in front of a Cadillac SUV.
Joy was this week named in a lawsuit brought against fellow artist Diddy by an alleged victim of sexual abuse amid a slew of damning allegations made in recent months.
When news broke earlier this week of a 'military level force' raid related to a sex trafficking probe on Diddy's homes, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson was the only major music figure to speak out about the shocking development.
Earlier this week, 50 Cent posted on X: 'Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done they don't come like that unless they got a case'. The rapper also promised to finance a documentary on the allegations. Diddy has denied all accusations of wrongdoing.

Diddy is currently facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits, including one from producer Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, one of Diddy's former record producers.
He filed a lawsuit against the rapper claiming he was ordered to recruit sex workers and have sex with them for the star's pleasure, and has hundreds of hours of video documenting Diddy's 'serious illegal activity' between 2022 and 2023.
Jones also accuses Daphne Joy, who dated 50 Cent between 2011 and 2012 of being someone who Diddy regularly paid for sex.
The accusations are contained in the 73-page lawsuit, in which Jones claims Diddy also subjected him to a year of groping and 'constant unsolicited touching of his anus.'
Daphne Joy, a prominent OnlyFans model, formerly dated 50 Cent and gave birth to their son, Sire, now 11, in September 2012.
Sire won a $700,000 contract to be the face of children's headphones company Kidz Safe while still a toddler.
When the couple broke up, Joy accused him of being physically abusive, something the singer known as 'Fiddy' denied.
