The recent arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs has vindicated Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's years of public criticism. "It's really me just saying what I've been saying for 10 years," Jackson told People magazine, addressing his long-standing concerns about Combs' behavior.
On September 16, 2024, federal authorities arrested Combs at Manhattan's Park Hyatt Hotel. The indictment revealed charges of racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. During raids of Combs' properties, investigators seized telling evidence, including 1,000 bottles of baby oil, supporting allegations of organized "Freak Off" parties.
Former party attendees have begun speaking out. Kendra Wilkinson, ex-Playboy playmate, recalled attending "one or two" events, though claiming she "never saw anything really bad." Another anonymous source told Us Weekly about a distinct pattern at these gatherings: "Girls would start to lose their clothes - that was the signal for people to leave," typically around 2-3 AM.
The investigation has sparked wider revelations. Lauren Pisciotta, a former assistant to Kanye West, amended her lawsuit to include allegations of being drugged at a Santa Monica party co-hosted by West and Combs. The legal document states she "slip[ped] into an altered and highly impaired state" after consuming a drink at the event.
Jackson's criticism dates back to 2006 when he released "The Bomb," questioning Combs' knowledge of Notorious B.I.G.'s murder. His skepticism continued through social media posts, notably responding to Combs' homes being raided: "Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done. They don't come like that unless they got a case."
Now, Jackson and director Alexandria Stapleton are developing a documentary about Combs. "This is a story with significant human impact," they stated jointly, emphasizing their commitment to presenting "authentic and nuanced perspectives."
Combs' legal team maintains his innocence. "Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone," The rapper's representatives admitted to UNILAD. Meanwhile, over 120 individuals have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct.
The case continues to unfold, with Combs denied bail twice since his arrest, marking a dramatic fall for one of hip-hop's most prominent figures.
