Model Daphne Joy has vehemently denied the serious accusation made in a lawsuit by Sean “Diddy” Combs, claiming that she was once involved in sex work for the rap mogul. In an Instagram Story, Joy, who shares a child with 50 Cent, expressed deep hurt over the allegations, stating that the claim of her being a sex worker is entirely false and amounts to character assassination. She mentioned considering legal action against the accuser and his attorney to address the false claims.
Joy also posted a video on Instagram where she appeared visibly upset, denying the accusations made against her. She emphasized that she wouldn't wish such allegations on any woman and expressed her faith in God.
The lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against Combs alleged that the music executive hired Joy and two other women for sex work, including paying them a monthly stipend. Jones also accused Combs of sexual assault during their collaboration on an album from September 2022 to November 2023.
Combs' attorney, Shawn Holley, dismissed the claims as false, labeling Jones as a liar seeking an undeserved payday through sensationalized allegations. The public and celebrities, including 50 Cent, engaged in online banter over the situation, with 50 Cent joking about Joy's alleged involvement in the matter.
Reports emerged that 50 Cent was exploring the possibility of seeking sole custody of his 11-year-old son, Sire, whom he shares with Joy, due to the allegations surrounding her. Despite their brief relationship from 2011 to 2012, the situation has raised concerns about the well-being of their child.
