In a shocking turn of events, Daphne Joy, the former flame of American rap icon, 50 Cent, has leveled serious accusations of rape and assault against him.
The G-Unit boss finds himself in the eye of a storm, as these allegations come on the heels of reports that he is seeking sole custody of their son.
The backdrop to this explosive situation is a lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs, filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, accusing the media titan of sex trafficking and abuse. Joy’s name has been dragged into this lawsuit, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding drama.
In a raw and emotional Instagram post, Joy lambasted 50 Cent for his alleged failures as a father to their son, Sire, and for the physical and emotional trauma she claims to have suffered during their relationship.
She wrote, “We relocated to New York to afford you the chance to be a father to your son, yet you saw him a mere 10 times in the 2 years we lived a stone’s throw away from you. I am weary of maintaining a facade for our son that you have never deserved.”
She continued, “The spotlight should be on your heinous acts of raping and physically abusing me. You are no longer my tormentor, and I entrust your judgment to a higher power. You have irreparably shattered the last vestiges of hope I had for you as a father and for the preservation of our family with your recent baseless attacks against me. You have broken our hearts for the last time.”
In the face of these damning allegations, 50 Cent has swiftly issued a statement through his representative, categorically denying Joy’s claims. He asserts that her accusations are a direct response to his decision to seek sole custody of their 12-year-old son.
He stated, “Daphne Joy’s most recent unfounded accusations are clearly a reaction to my decision to seek sole custody of our son. My primary concern is my son, Sire, and ensuring his safety is my sole focus at this time.”
50 Cent further explained that his decision to seek sole custody was a protective measure, given that Joy’s name has been implicated in Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy.
