Ja Rule Threatens to Sue 50 Cent Over Reposted Gene Deal Clip

The latest flare-up hinges on Ja Rule’s claim of defamation after 50 Cent amplified an unverified hotel-room anecdote during renewed scrutiny of Sean Combs.

Overview

  • 50 Cent shared to Instagram a video of former Bad Boy bodyguard Gene Deal recounting a 1990s incident in which Ja Rule and Diddy allegedly emerged from a hotel room naked with towels during what Deal called a “freaky” scene.
  • Ja Rule condemned the story as false and defamatory and posted that a lawsuit is coming, writing, “Slander and defamation… Lawsuit on the way.”
  • Deal’s account remains uncorroborated, with outlets noting he has provided no evidence beyond his retelling of the alleged encounter.
  • The exchange followed 50 Cent’s Netflix docuseries on Sean Combs, as Ja Rule accused him of hypocrisy, urged donating proceeds to domestic-violence groups, and resurfaced past allegations involving 50 Cent, which reports note he is already donating from.
  • As of the latest reporting, 50 Cent had not directly responded to the legal threat and the reposted clip remained online, marking another turn in a rivalry dating to the late 1990s.
