Rapper 50 Cent's ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy, has made serious allegations against him, accusing him of rape and physical abuse. Joy took to Instagram to call out 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, for his alleged actions, stating that he has permanently damaged any hope she had left for him as a father to their 11-year-old son, Sire.
Joy criticized 50 Cent's co-parenting skills, claiming that he only saw their son a minimal number of times despite living in close proximity. She expressed her frustration at having to uphold an image of 50 Cent to their son that she believes he has not earned.
In response to Joy's accusations, 50 Cent's representative issued a statement emphasizing the rapper's commitment to protecting his son and ensuring his safety. The statement mentioned that the recent allegations were a reaction to 50 Cent's decision to seek sole custody of Sire.
These developments come in the midst of a legal battle involving Daphne Joy being named in a lawsuit related to music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, where she was alleged to be one of three women involved in sex work for Combs. This revelation has prompted 50 Cent to pursue sole custody of his son.
Another lawsuit filed against Combs by Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones has added to the controversy, with Jones accusing Combs of sexual assault and sex trafficking. Combs' former attorney has vehemently denied these allegations, labeling Jones as a liar.
Following the surfacing of these lawsuits, 50 Cent took to social media to mock Joy over the allegations, further escalating the situation.
50 Cent and Joy were in a relationship from 2011 to 2012 and share a son together. Despite their past, the exes have showcased moments of amicable co-parenting on social media.
