50 Cent is at it again—this time taking aim at what he claims are “rented” supporters of Sean “Diddy” Combs outside the courtroom where the embattled music mogul is currently facing a series of civil lawsuits.
In classic 50 fashion, the rapper-turned-mogul didn’t hold back. Taking to Instagram with his signature sarcasm, he posted a video allegedly showing individuals gathered in support of Diddy, complete with signs and coordinated chants. But what really caught 50’s attention wasn’t the protest itself—it was the rumor that some of the demonstrators were being paid $20 an hour.
“Wait, so you mean to tell me these people out here yelling ‘We stand with Diddy’ are getting $20 an hour? I can’t make this up,” he wrote in the caption, adding several laughing emojis and calling the demonstration “a marketing budget gone wrong.”
The video, which has since gone viral, shows a group of people outside the courthouse in what appears to be a loosely organized rally. While it’s unclear who exactly hired them—or whether they were indeed paid—the moment was ripe for 50 Cent, who has never missed an opportunity to troll his longtime industry rival.
“$20 an hour ain’t bad for caping,” he joked. “But at least learn the lyrics to his songs if you’re gonna fake it.”
This isn’t the first time 50 Cent has taken shots at Diddy amid the mogul’s legal troubles, which include mounting allegations tied to abuse and misconduct. Over the past several months, 50 has made it his personal mission to use social media as a kind of commentary booth on Diddy’s unraveling public image.
“Every time I log on, it’s something new with Diddy,” 50 said in a recent livestream. “At this point, I might just buy popcorn in bulk.”
Diddy, meanwhile, has remained largely silent about the social media jabs. His legal team continues to battle multiple lawsuits, and supporters—paid or not—have made occasional appearances to show solidarity outside courtrooms.
Still, the optics of possible paid protests have drawn skepticism online. Users quickly jumped into 50 Cent’s comment section to weigh in, with many questioning the authenticity of the support being shown.
“$20 an hour? That’s not protest—that’s a part-time job,” one commenter wrote.
As the legal proceedings continue, so too does the ongoing social media saga between two of hip-hop’s most influential (and outspoken) figures. And if there’s one thing that’s clear, it’s that 50 Cent isn’t putting down the mic—or the memes—anytime soon.
