50 Cent continues to be vocal on social media, chiming in on the latest explosive lawsuit filed against Diddy—this time by a man named Joseph Manzaro, who accuses the music mogul of sex trafficking and assault.
On April 1, 50 posted a screenshot from a TMZ report detailing Manzaro’s claims, which involve alleged abuse at a 2015 party celebrating King Combs’ 17th birthday at a Florida mansion once owned by Gloria and Emilio Estefan.
“Got Damn how many of these boys Diddy was touching,” 50 Cent wrote in the now-deleted Instagram caption.
Lawsuit Claims & High-Profile Names
The shocking lawsuit alleges that Manzaro was drugged, assaulted, and humiliated in front of several A-list witnesses, including JAY-Z, Beyoncé, LeBron James, and the Estefans. It also mentions adult film actress Adria English, who allegedly led Manzaro through a secret tunnel to another mansion owned by Diddy.
Among the most bizarre claims:
-
Beyoncé allegedly encountered Manzaro while he was partially naked and wearing a mask.
-
JAY-Z and LeBron James were supposedly present and aware of what was happening.
-
Gloria Estefan allegedly attempted to intervene but was silenced by her husband Emilio.
Legal Responses Rolling In
Lawyers and representatives for the celebrities named—who are not being sued—have begun pushing back against the story.
-
JAY-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, flat-out denied his client was in Florida at the time:
“Mr. Carter wasn’t in Florida at that time… He was engaged in easily findable public activities.”
He called the lawsuit “nonsense” that weakens public trust in the justice system. -
The Estefans’ rep also denied the accusations:
“There were no parties thrown at that property between 2012 and 2019… We have all documentation to support these facts.”
Meanwhile, inconsistencies in the lawsuit are already being exposed. TMZ reports that JAY-Z was in New York during the alleged time, promoting Tidal in public appearances. Additionally, Adria English’s legal team recently withdrew from her separate civil suit against Diddy, citing a breakdown in communication—the second time she’s been dropped by lawyers.
50 Cent Weighs In
Although 50 Cent deleted his initial reaction, his commentary has reignited attention on the growing number of allegations surrounding Diddy, as well as the credibility of lawsuits pulling in unrelated high-profile figures.
