50 Cent mocks Diddy after Cassie Ventura's bombshell testimony in court
Rapper 50 Cent couldn't help but take yet another jibe at Sean 'Diddy' Combs following the latest events in court.
Combs, 55, is in the lower Manhattan courthouse facing charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in September.
He vehemently denies all allegations of wrongdoing against him, including those alleged in civil lawsuits. He has been in prison since his arrest, with a number of bail requests rejected.
Now, after Combs' ex Cassie Ventura testified against the rapper, his rival 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - has mocked him. Among Ventura's shocking allegations was a claim that during one 'freak off,' a blow-up baby pool was filled with baby oil that Combs told Ventura to get into.
There were also alleged texts between the pair that were shown to the jury.
Jackson took to social media to take aim at Combs. On Instagram, he said: "Down on your luck, not feeling good today? Well look at the bright side you could be Diddy."
He had earlier shared a a screenshot of a headline referencing the inflatable pool. Jackson followed it up by sharing two AI-generated images of Combs in a pool of baby oil and wrote: "Damn he did all that s*** to go out like this, SMH This s*** crazier then regular crazy."
It's far from the first time Jackson has hit out at his fellow musician since the accusations were first made. Just days earlier, the Candy Shop rapper commented on something the prosecution said in their opening statement on Monday, May 12.
They claim that in one instance, Combs forced an escort to pee in Ventura's mouth. After the prosecution's claim became public Jackson shared a photo of a cherub fountain statue that appeared to be peeing on his Instagram.
He captioned his upload, "Diddy said in ya mouth! SMH LOL."
Combs and Jackson have had an ongoing feud which has lasted almost two decades. The bitter feud first began in the early 2000s, and their row, which has spanned more than two decades, came to light bigger than ever after Combs' arrest.
The row between the two rappers first kicked off with the release of 50 Cent's track 'The Bomb'. The tune seemingly alludes to Combs having knowledge about the 1997 murder of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.
The Baby By Me hitmaker has never shown proof or evidence of his rival's alleged knowledge of the iconic rapper's murder. Rather, Combs has continued to vehemently deny knowing any information about Notorious' tragic death.

Love Island star's past racist slurs resurface and fans want her 'off the show'
Just weeks after one Love Island USA cast member was booted off the show for past use of racial slurs, web sleuths have uncovered slurs used by another cast member. Yulissa Escobar, a 27-year-old real estate professional from Miami was booted in just the third day of Season 7, after videos surfaced of her using the N-word in a podcast. After the swift removal of Escobar, many fans are hoping the same will happen with Cierra Ortega, a 25-year-old content creator from Phoenix, who arrived on Day 2. Past Instagram posts have surfaced of her using a racial slur towards Chinese people in two separate instances many years apart. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. There was also an Instagram story post from February 2023, showing her getting Botox treatments, again using the slur to describe her smile, and many fans are furious, calling for her immediate removal. One post from January 2015 showed a snap of her at the top of a mountain, using a version of the slur to describe how she smiles. While it remains to be seen if the show's producers will remove her like they removed Escobar, Ortega has already taken a bit hit in regards to her Instagram followers. She has lost over 200K followers in the past 48 hours after the posts first re-surfaced. Ortega was poised to potentially cross the 1 million follower mark at some point during Love Island Season 7, but her follower tally now stands at 709K. While she's currently coupled up with Nic Vansteenberghe as filming continues in Fiji, many are calling for her removal on social media. A new petition calling for her removal was started two days ago, when the Instagram posts first surfaced, which currently has 6,670 verified signatures. One fan - @deannacortes - shared the petition link on X, adding, 'Send Cierra Ortega home,' with the hashtags #racist #LoveIslandUSA #stopasianhate. Another X user - @ShaneAnime1990 - insisted, 'Cierra Ortega used a racist word now we have to cancel her if she did it once she'll do it again.' Cass Rabbit (@cassrabbit) tagged both @LoveIslandUSA and @Peacock in her tweet, which read, 'Get Cierra Ortega off your show. This is now the third time I'm seeing she used the slur for asians. Y'all rightfully kicked off Yulissa for saying the n word, what about Cierra? Or does racism against asians not matter to you guys?' Another X user - @h0td1lfj0hnny - asked, 'Why has cierra not been dropped from the villa,,,, she's f***ing racist using slurs.

Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim' The user added, 'Yall got yulissa up out of there quick but not cierra ??? @loveislandusa #loveislandusa Cierra not been dropped from the f---ing racist using slurs.' X user @SSTARZZNE added, 'cierra better be at the BOTTOM of that vote after her racist a** got exposed #LoveIslandUSA.' Mai (@mainpopvirgo) said, 'yulissa said a racial slur (the literal nword) and was kicked out of the show (as she should) bc of the rightful outrage how is this different to cierra saying another racial slur she cannot claim.' Ortega has not yet addressed the controversy personally via her verified Instagram page.

Diddy's reputation is tarnished, but could he find a way back?
After the verdicts were delivered in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial in New York on Wednesday, emotions boiled over outside court in heated confrontations between fans and protesters who voiced opposing views about the thought the rap star should have been found guilty on the more serious counts, not just the two lesser charges on which he was they were outnumbered by pro-Diddy influencers and fans who were chanting "free Diddy" and "let him go" and spraying each other in baby oil in jury's mixed verdicts did not present a clear-cut result - but it was seen as a better-than-expected outcome for the still faces significant jail time and dozens of civil legal cases, though. His reputation will forever be tarnished by months of ugly allegations and revelations - and the two some observers believe that's unlikely to stop him trying to mount a comeback. Driving force of hip-hop As a songwriter, rapper, producer and record label impresario, Combs - formerly known as Puff Daddy - was one of the driving forces in hip-hop and R&B in the launched the careers of Notorious BIG and Mary J Blige, signed acts such as Faith Evans, 112, Mase and Janelle Monae to his Bad Boy Records label, and worked with stars including Mariah Carey, Usher and Busta won three Grammy Awards as an artist and scored his biggest pop hit with I'll Be Missing You, sampling The Police's Every Breath You Take, in 1997 - his tribute after BIG's "was one of the most famous people in hip-hop", says Los Angeles Times music writer August Brown."He was an incredibly important figure in evolving both that genre and the music industry as a whole into a commercial juggernaut." Dark side of Diddy's parties Like many at the peak of the music industry, he also threw lavish parties. But sordid details emerged during the legal cases, revealing a darker so-called "freak offs" were hotel sex encounters which could last for days, involving multiple male escorts, routine violence and copious amounts of drugs and baby question for the jury was whether this was a criminal enterprise designed to force two alleged victims into sex against their will or whether, as Combs claimed, the women willingly took defence argued that these orgies were "kinky" but consensual - and that organising them was not the end, the jury agreed and he was found not guilty of the most serious charge of racketeering conspiracy, as well as two charges of sex trafficking."The jury was just unpersuaded that what amounted to an extremely baroque and violent and drug-stoked sex life on Diddy's behalf amounted to a criminal organisation on the racketeering charge, or trafficking in the way that we understand it now," Mr Brown told the BBC World Service."This isn't to say that it wasn't possible, but they just didn't think it rose to 'beyond a shadow of a doubt'." Jail then comeback? Combs was, however, convicted on two counts of transporting two former girlfriends, including singer Cassie, to participate in sex acts and will face up to 10 years in jail for each charge when he's sentenced in October. But the sentences are likely to be lower than the maximum and to run simultaneously, with the year he will have already spent in jail to be deducted. So it's quite possible he could be free in several supporters will be waiting - but most people will be unwilling to accept a comeback, Mr Brown says."I cannot imagine any kind of redemption arc as far as him [remaining] as an artist or a music mogul in light of this."I think the public will remember him as an important figure whose name is now permanently associated with this very-difficult-to-process range of charges, even if he's not been convicted on the worst of it."Alvin Blanco, content director of agrees that Combs is too tarnished to make a successful comeback. "He's definitely going to try, but I think the damage is just too irreparable at this point." Mark Anthony Neal, professor of African American Studies at Duke University in North Carolina, also believes there's "no doubt" the revelations have tarnished Combs' legacy as the man who helped take hip-hop "from the ghettos to the mainstream of America to the global mainstream".However, his influence on music had diminished even before the allegations, says Jem Aswad, executive editor of music at Variety."He doesn't really have much of a music career any more, and he hasn't for about 15 years," Mr Aswad told BBC News."It's not that he was unpopular, although he wasn't enormously popular recently - he just moved on to other businesses. He got into beverages, he got into apparel, he got into lots of other businesses."Anything he did in music over the last 15 years was almost just for fun. I think he's released two, maybe three albums in that time period, and they just did OK, and frankly they just were OK." Awards success His stock was still pretty high, though. His last LP, The Love Album: Off The Grid, was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2024. The previous year, he was named a Global Icon at the MTV he wouldn't be the first star to retain support despite facing Jackson was cleared of child abuse in court in 2005 but persuasive claims about him have persisted, and many people still wrestle with how to reconcile those with the brilliance of the King of Pop's catalogue.R&B star R. Kelly was jailed for 30 years in 2022 for racketeering and sex trafficking. He still has five million monthly listeners on Spotify at the last in hip-hop may be willing to work with Combs. Kanye West last week released a song called Diddy Free - although Kanye himself is ostracised by large parts of the industry for making antisemitic and Nazi statements. Supporters' delight Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty, host of the BBC's Diddy on Trial podcast, has seen the support outside court and suggests there may be a way back."We'll see what happens with his career after this," she told the BBC's Newscast."I feel like he will be able to reclaim a top spot in hip-hop just because of the sheer amount of support we've seen online and here at the courthouse from his fans, and from people who feel he was being unjustly targeted by the federal government."He won't be the first musician to be a convicted criminal who carries on having a music career, especially in hip-hop."For many, the details of the case will be hard to shake from the memory, Star, one of the content creators outside court on Wednesday, told BBC News that "his image is tainted, and when you think of Diddy now, you think of..." before finishing her point by holding up a bottle of baby oil.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom finally address split rumours after cryptic posts
After endless speculation and cryptic social media activity, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry have finally addressed their split. The Lord of the Rings actor, 48, began dating Teenage Dream pop star Katy, 40, in 2016, and they share a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in 2020. While they've been pretty rock solid for a while as far as the public is concerned—not counting their brief split in 2017—recently rumours have been swirling that they've parted ways. As a result, fans have been paying very close attention to the actions of both stars (such as Katy's obvious tears on stage at her final tour show) and what they're posting online. And while neither Katy nor Orlando has explicitly commented on the reports themselves, their representatives have now issued a statement. They told Us Weekly: 'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting.' They continued: 'They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' This marks the first official comment from their camps on the matter and follows a multi-layered post from Orlando hinting at 'loneliness'. Taking to Instagram, where he boasts seven million followers, Orlando reposted a carousel of quotes from Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung yesterday. Among the pics was the quote: 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.' It didn't take long for Orlando's followers to take notice of the words, theorising that they could have a deeper meaning for him. 'You are not alone😢😢😢', wrote @sate_058.' 'Preach. it's nice to sit down to think about things like this. Good for the brain 🙌💙', commented @orlandobloomhq. 'We in our therapy era 👏', added @mhapriso. June 26 was when US outlet People seemingly confirmed that Orlando and Katy were not together anymore. That same day, the movie star jetted to Italy for the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, where he rubbed shoulders with fellow A-list guests, such as the Kardashians and Sydney Sweeney. Meanwhile, it has always been believed that their young daughter is both Orlando and Katy's priority as they navigate the huge life change, as echoed in their new message to the press. Sources have claimed that the former couple 'had to admit' they would be better parents to their four-year-old if they weren't a couple. Another insider said: 'At a certain point, they had to admit it's better for Daisy to see their parents separately, then she won't grow up feeling the tension and animosity.' The Dark Horse hitmaker and her former husband-to-be, who proposed in 2019, now want to 'protect' their 'angel' daughter against 'anything adverse'. 'They are there for Daisy and have been,' added the source. 'They want to keep a friendly relationship so each can be around her separately or together.' However, some reckon Orlando is already looking to start afresh, as he reposted another motivational quote the other day about 'new beginnings'. From the account @taomeditations, it read: 'Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.' As for Katy, fans have noticed she's ditched her dazzling engagement ring on public outings. Her absence from Orlando's side at the Bezos wedding also set alarm bells off, despite him continuing to 'like' her Insta posts. Over the years, Orlando and Katy have become one of showbusiness's hottest couples—and they certainly haven't been shy in sharing the more intimate details about their relationship. Who could forget Katy's Call Her Daddy podcast interview last year, in which she confessed she'd perform oral sex on her man if he washed the dishes? More Trending On a less explicit note, though, she has spoken about her love for him, such as her interview on SiriusXM mid-pandemic. 'What I have actually learned, some of the positive… because he's seen it all, and God bless him, he's still here,' she said of quarantining together. 'It's amazing and commendable. I have definitely tested him, like… 'Oh, yeah, you think you can handle me?'' In a previous post for his first Father's Day, she also described him as 'the healer of [her] heart and the giver of my greatest gift'. Got a story?
