On Dec. 18, King Combs took to X (formerly Twitter) with a blunt warning: “On my dad, if I ever see 50 Cent, I’ll slap the f*** outta him.” The post spread rapidly before being deleted, but not before 50 Cent saw it and fired back.
The reason behind King Combs’ outburst remains unclear. However, this wasn’t the first time he’s publicly addressed 50 Cent. Earlier in 2024, King released a diss track titled Pick A Side, positioning himself as Diddy’s successor while pushing back against months of criticism aimed at his father by 50.
In hip-hop culture, King’s choice of words carried extra meaning. Opening with “On my dad” framed the message as more than industry trash talk — it signaled family loyalty and suggested the tension had turned personal.
50 Cent responded within hours, opting for mockery rather than escalation. “😂 Lil bro, first, close your damn mouth when you take pictures,” he wrote, immediately undercutting the threat with humor.
He then turned the exchange into a résumé flex. “I been rich 3 different times, sold records, sold shows, sold liquor, sold power,” 50 Cent continued, listing his achievements across music, television, and business.
His closing line was the sharpest jab of all: “You still living off Wi-Fi and legacy. Relax.”
With that, 50 Cent dismissed King Combs as a beneficiary of family fame rather than a peer who earned his status independently. The response shifted the narrative, reframing King’s deleted tweet as more noise than threat.
Beyond King Combs, 50 Cent is currently trading shots with several figures in hip-hop, including Jim Jones, Maino, and Diddy himself. By refusing to match aggression with aggression in this case, 50 once again positioned himself as untouchable — amused rather than rattled.
For now, it’s unclear whether King Combs plans to keep the feud alive or let the moment fade. What is clear is that one deleted tweet was enough to reignite a rivalry that has spanned generations.
