50 Cent has issued a cutting response to reports that Sean “Diddy” Combs was allegedly attacked in prison.

The rapper, known for his long-standing rivalry with Diddy, reacted online after a friend of the Bad Boy founder claimed that Combs woke up “with a knife to his throat” during an incident behind bars.

According to Diddy’s associate Charlucci Finney, the alleged attack nearly turned deadly. “He woke up with a knife to his throat,” Finney told Daily Mail. “I don't know whether he fought him off or the guards came, I just know that it happened.”

Finney added, “If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him. It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain't gonna be so lucky.’ Everything is intimidation. But with Sean it won't work. Sean is from Harlem.”

The claims quickly drew attention across social media, where 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, made his stance clear.

Sharing a screenshot of the report on Instagram, he wrote, “Is he snitching now. They put a knife to his neck and said South Side we outside. LOL.” The post was later deleted but had already circulated widely among fans.

This is not the first time 50 Cent has mocked Diddy publicly. Earlier this month, he taunted him after Donald Trump claimed that Diddy had requested a presidential pardon. “Man you can't get no pardon running ya mouth like that. LOL get out of here,” 50 Cent wrote at the time.
