50 Cent posts AI image wearing 'Free Diddy' shirt amid trafficking trial developments

Rapper and entrepreneur Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has once again taken aim at music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently facing a high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

Amid the trial’s second week, 50 Cent posted an AI-generated image of himself on Instagram, wearing a white t-shirt that read “Free Diddy” while standing in front of a courthouse.

Following the AI image post, 50 Cent shared a screenshot referencing court testimony from Cassie Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura, who alleged that Combs demanded $20,000 after discovering her daughter’s relationship with rapper Kid Cudi.

Ventura claimed the demand forced her and her husband to take out a home equity loan to pay Combs. “He only made Cassie’s mom take out a home equity loan to pay 20k for him to not put out sex tapes. Free itty bitty Diddy! LOL wait is that legal,” Jackson wrote in the caption.

The post is the latest in a string of public jabs from 50 Cent. Over the weekend, he mocked reports that individuals were being paid $20 an hour to wear “Free Diddy” shirts outside Manhattan federal court. “Diddy paying people to wear Free Diddy shirts is diabolical,” he wrote. “But $20 a hour ain’t bad. I might go throw that on for a hour tomorrow.”

In a follow-up post, Jackson appeared in a black version of the same shirt, jokingly asking, “Where do I send my $20 invoice?”

According to prosecutors, Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi is expected to testify later this week, with prosecutors likely to raise allegations that Combs blew up Cudi’s car in retaliation for his relationship with Cassie.
