50 Cent is teasing some explosive details from his upcoming documentary about Diddy, and it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride! In the latest snippet, he revealed some behind-the-scenes drama between Diddy and Wendy Williams, even alleging that Diddy tried to harm Wendy. According to 50 Cent, this extreme reaction was because Wendy was the first to uncover Diddy’s relationship with Cassie and recognized Cassie as Diddy’s victim.
50 Cent is going all out against Diddy, and this latest revelation might be the most shocking yet. Here’s the scoop. Before we get into 50 Cent’s latest claims about Diddy, let’s recap the feud between Wendy and Diddy. Wendy has clashed with many in the industry because she was famous for spilling secrets and exposing celebrities. Celebrities hate being exposed, especially when it involves scandalous behavior. Diddy’s feud with Wendy was particularly nasty, as he did everything he could to ruin her. Wendy, known for being incredibly stubborn, held onto that grudge for a long time. According to 50 Cent, the feud started because Diddy allegedly wronged Wendy, setting off this long-standing conflict.
Wendy even claimed that Diddy put her safety at risk by allegedly sending people after her to jump her. This all happened in the early ’90s when Diddy had just launched Bad Boy Records. The label took off because Diddy had some big names like Clive Davis backing him up. Meanwhile, Wendy was making moves at Hot 97 radio station as a jockey. You’d think she’d be on friendly terms with Diddy, right? No, not a chance. To be fair, they did get along at first, but things seriously went south when Diddy started going after Wendy for not saying good things about him on her show. Back then, Bad Boy Records was stacked with top-tier artists like Lil Kim, Biggie Smalls, and the girl group Total. Even though the label was still in its early days, it was already a big deal because Diddy had the street smarts necessary to run the game. As part of their PR strategy, Diddy decided to use Hot 97 as the perfect spot to promote his artists and get their hits on the air. Of course, this was before social media and TikTok, where they could pay influencers to make the song viral. Back then, there wasn’t any of that, and the radio was the major way for labels to put their artists into the mainstream media.
So, when Wendy started throwing shade at Diddy and sharing her not-so-flattering opinions, things got very dramatic. Diddy wasn’t exactly thrilled with Wendy’s critiques, to say the least. If you know anything about Diddy from the allegations we’ve seen in the many lawsuits brought against him, you know that he has a bad habit of going after his ops. According to 50 Cent, that’s how the feud started. Despite Bad Boy Records being successful, Diddy hated how Wendy spoke about him on the radio. You’d think that Diddy would speak to Wendy privately and try to straighten things out, but again, we already know that Diddy is not the type of person to have a talk about anything like that. As we’ve come to expect, diplomacy isn’t really Diddy’s thing when dealing with his ops.
So, instead of talking it out, 50 Cent claims that Diddy went for a more drastic approach. Allegedly, he arranged for Wendy to get jumped by his girl group Total. There was an incident a few months before that. “Yeah, I remember I got off the air one day and then Total was downstairs waiting, and everybody upstairs at the radio station was looking down, egging it on, waiting for something to go down. I wasn’t yet married. My knight in shining armor screeched up in his car out of nowhere. I didn’t even know what was about to happen. I’m standing in the door like, ‘What?’ and I’m literally about to go through now. I’m not like, ‘What, let’s fight,’ because I’m not one of those types of broads, and plus there were three of them.”
Hollywood is a wild place. One moment you’re signing a big record deal, thinking your dreams are coming true. The next, your boss is forcing you into a fight because his feelings got hurt. That wasn’t even the first time Diddy used one of his artists for something other than music. He made Total do his dirty work before, and he did the same to Shyne, forcing him to take the fall for the 1999 club shooting. Diddy faced serious jail time, but the charges magically disappeared, and he walked away unscathed while Shyne went to prison. There are allegations that Diddy set Shyne up and paid witnesses to testify against him during the trial.
Witnesses were first brought to Diddy, claiming they saw Shyne’s actions. The DA didn’t even know these people existed. Shyne himself said that Diddy betrayed him. In a 2020 interview, Shyne revealed, “Puff apologized. He said he could have handled it better but was under a lot of pressure from the lawyers to throw me under the bus.” One witness, Natanya Reuben, testified, “I saw Mr. Combs pull out a black gun. It felt like a flaming hot sledgehammer hit my face. I had a clear view; I was facing them directly and got shot in my nose. I described it vehemently to all parties involved. I have nine fragments remaining in my face.”
Natanya also shared that she still has bullet fragments in her body and suffers from traumatic brain disorder and seizures. She said, “Lead is toxic, but I’ve had lead bullet fragments in my face for 24 years. Julius Jones, who also got shot, still has a bullet in his back. People need empathy and respect. We were innocent bystanders. I’ve had horrific aftermaths, including seizures. One day, my son found me in a seizure, and my daughter, an infant, tried to feed herself. I was seizing terribly.”
Total was luckier; Diddy only asked them to jump Wendy. They were happy to comply, but Wendy and her then-boyfriend, Kevin Hunter, watched her back. Wendy’s sharp tongue almost got her in a physical fight, but she didn’t back down. Instead, she intensified her attacks on Diddy, dishing out more gossip as payback. She leaked a picture of Diddy’s son, Justin Combs, with Diddy’s arch-nemesis, Suge Knight, humiliating Diddy further.
The beef between Diddy and Suge was intense, dating back to the East Coast-West Coast showdown. Their hatred was palpable. At the time, Diddy was involved in a paternity drama with Misa Hilton, denying Justin was his son and accusing Misa of trying to pass off another man’s baby as his. Rumors also swirled about Diddy being brutal towards Misa. Gene Deal claimed Diddy beat Misa because she was allegedly involved with someone from EPMD.
It’s crazy to think that Diddy would even suspect Misa of doing something like that, especially after how he allegedly treated her just for talking to other guys. But that’s Diddy—always on guard to protect his image. He hated how Wendy started speaking about him negatively. When Wendy released that shocking photo of his son with his biggest rival, Suge Knight, it hit Diddy hard. Things got even worse when rumors started spreading that Wendy had an even more scandalous photo of Diddy in a compromising situation with another man. This could have severely damaged Diddy’s reputation. Back then, even a hint about a rapper’s sexuality could ruin their career, and Diddy couldn’t afford that kind of scandal with millions on the line.
The rumor is that Diddy and his crew went to an exotic beach or island for a wild party with a bunch of ladies—your typical Diddy party with all the shady stuff that goes down. But, surprise, surprise, there was supposedly another man in the mix, rumored to be Diddy’s boy toy. It seems Diddy wasn’t focused on the ladies during that trip; his interest was elsewhere. Word is that someone took a picture of him in a compromising situation with another man, getting his shorts pulled down by this boy toy. This photo was like a ticking time bomb, ready to blow up his whole reputation. According to 50 Cent, Wendy planned to leak the photo as revenge for Diddy trying to harm her. Diddy went into full crisis mode, trying to shut Wendy down before she could ruin his life. 50 Cent claims Diddy used his power to get Wendy fired from her job at Hot 97.
Remember when I mentioned Diddy used the station to promote his artists and their songs? Gene Deal said Diddy threatened to pull all his artists’ songs from Hot 97’s rotation. He even threatened that none of his industry friends would promote their artists there either. Diddy had a lot of influence back then, so when he made a threat, people took it seriously. He managed to get one of the hottest DJs off Hot 97 because she wanted to release a picture of him in a compromising position. Wendy Williams claimed she had him in a compromising situation and planned to put it out there. They stopped her and got her fired from Hot 97. Wendy has talked about this, saying she was practically burned at the stake for it. Wendy’s ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, also mentioned how close Diddy came to ruining her career and life.
Did Diddy get her fired from the radio station? Did he have anything to do with that? I think he did. Let’s be clear, she was suspended, not fired. Did Diddy use his influence with Steve Smith and others at the time? Considering Bad Boy’s dominance in the ’90s, especially in New York, it’s likely. Could he have done it? Was he King Jaffe Joe? Yeah. Did he demand, “I want this chick off. She’s dissing my group”? Yeah. According to 50 Cent, Diddy was dead serious about shutting Wendy down. The messed-up part is that Wendy used to be one of his biggest supporters, even at the station where he got her fired. She stood by him completely. This is why 50 Cent is also calling out Diddy for being a disloyal friend.
Let’s talk about December 1991, long before Diddy launched Bad Boy Records. Back then, he and rapper Heavy D organized a charity basketball game at the City College of New York to raise money for AIDS foundations. What was meant to be a good cause turned into a tragedy when the venue was oversold, leading to a stampede that claimed nine lives and injured 29 others. Diddy faced intense scrutiny, especially when it came to light that the funds raised never reached the intended charities. Some of these charities even said they had no idea Diddy was raising money in their name, which led to serious accusations of embezzlement against him.
During this turbulent time, the media heavily criticized Diddy, but Wendy Williams was one of the few who stood by him. She insisted it was all a big misunderstanding and urged fans to cut Diddy some slack. However, when Wendy later exposed more of his questionable dealings, Diddy turned against her, trying to ruin her career. It seemed like he succeeded for a while, but Wendy made a comeback, revealing even more shocking information about Diddy.
One of her biggest bombshells was about how Diddy allegedly stole Biggie Smalls’ publishing rights. It’s been rumored for years that Diddy often got his artists to sign deals that heavily favored him. Biggie was no fool and knew he wanted full control over his masters from the start. Diddy, seeing Biggie’s potential, pretended to agree but reportedly tricked Biggie into signing papers that handed over a chunk of his publishing rights to Diddy. Even after Biggie’s death, Diddy held onto the masters that should have belonged to Biggie’s estate. It wasn’t until recently that Diddy returned these rights, announcing last year that he was giving all his former artists their full masters and publishing rights back. He claimed it was a generous act of reform and making amends for past mistakes.
However, 50 Cent pointed out that this move wasn’t entirely selfless. Diddy used this opportunity to get the artists to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to keep them from speaking out about their experiences at Bad Boy Records. He knew Cassie was planning to take legal action against him, so he worked hard to silence everyone. When he returned their publishing rights, he made them agree not to talk about his mother, Janice Combs, his son, Justin Combs, Sony, Bad Boy, or anything related to their time with him.
Speaking of Cassie, Wendy was among the first to suggest there was something wrong in her relationship with Diddy. Wendy hinted that there was more going on behind the scenes than the public saw. She had always been well-connected and could see through Diddy’s facade. After Cassie left him, Diddy publicly begged her to return, trying to appear romantic. However, Wendy called him out, suggesting he had been controlling and that things were not as they seemed. Wendy’s insights were later confirmed when Cassie’s lawsuit revealed that Diddy would find and spy on her wherever she hid. The lawsuit detailed how his network would pressure her to return, threatening her career if she didn’t. Wendy had been exposing Diddy’s behavior for years, which explained why he harbored a longstanding feud with her. According to 50 Cent, Wendy tried to help Cassie escape from Diddy’s control, but Diddy allegedly took drastic measures to silence Wendy. Despite his efforts, Wendy managed to avoid lasting damage, which is why she eventually stopped talking about him..
Fans are up in arms against Diddy after 50 Cent’s shocking revelations. Comments are pouring in, saying things like, “This doesn’t surprise me at all. I know Diddy did it. He was involved with Wendy Williams’ radio show and made Cassie shave both sides of her head, leading to her depression. Diddy deserves more than just jail time.” Another fan commented, “I believe they totally messed up Wendy Williams because she was the only media personality brave enough to expose Hollywood, especially what’s happening now with Diddy.” Someone else added, “I can just picture Wendy Williams smirking at home while all this info about Diddy comes out. She’s hated him for years and tried to warn the music community that the problem was within.”
