50 Cent wasted no time taking jabs at Jay-Z, mocking the Roc Nation mogul for attending the Hollywood premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King amid serious legal allegations.
On Monday night, Jay-Z stepped out with Beyoncé and their daughter, Blue Ivy, for the star-studded premiere of the Lion King prequel. The family posed for photos on the red carpet, but their appearance became the target of 50 Cent’s trolling.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, 50 shared an image of the Carters at the event, captioning it, “Jay said they said I rapped a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL.” The rapper didn’t hold back, using humor to address the serious lawsuit filed against Jay-Z.
The lawsuit, filed over the weekend, accuses Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs of drugging and sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a VMA afterparty in 2000. Both music icons have strongly denied the allegations. However, the gravity of the claims hasn’t stopped 50 Cent from fanning the flames.
Just hours after the lawsuit surfaced, 50 Cent took to Instagram with another jab, questioning Jay-Z’s involvement with the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. “Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl. 😟. I’m just asking for a friend,” he wrote, referencing Jay-Z’s Roc Nation partnership with the NFL for the annual event.
While the lawsuit casts a shadow over Jay-Z’s public appearances, 50 Cent has proven he’s willing to exploit the moment for attention, continuing his streak of relentless trolling on social media.
This latest chapter in 50 Cent and Jay-Z’s long-standing history of feuds keeps fans talking, but the allegations at the center of this controversy are no laughing matter. As the case unfolds, all eyes will remain on how Jay-Z and Diddy navigate the legal and public fallout.
