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.
