50 Cent, Sean 'Diddy' Combs.50 Cent is defending using his voice to call out Sean “Diddy” Combs over the years.
In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE, the "21 Questions" rapper, 49, opens up about Combs, 54, and his alleged behaviors before he was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution on Sept. 17, a day after being arrested at a Manhattan hotel. (Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges.)
Speaking about how he would poke fun at Combs' life during concerts and on social media before the star's recent legal troubles, 50 Cent says, “Look, it seems like I'm doing some extremely outrageous things, but I haven't. It's really me just saying what I've been saying for 10 years."
He adds, “Now it's becoming more full-facing in the news with the Puffy stuff, but away from that, I'm like, ‘Yo, it's just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff the entire time, because this is not my style.’ ”

50 Cent in August 2023.“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent (for G-Unit Film & Television) and director Alexandria Stapleton (for House of Nonfiction) said in a statement to PEOPLE.
“We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives," it continued. "While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’s story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”
