50 Cent has shared an AI-generated video depicting Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs getting arrested.
Taking to Instagram in the late hours of Tuesday, December 10, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson), posted the deepfake and captioned it, “I want to post this but I’m afraid I’m gonna get shot. LOL 
.”
The fabricated video, set to the track “Sound of Da Police” by rapper KRS-One, depicts Jay-Z, 55, and Diddy, also 55, attending a public event as police officers handcuff the pair and escort them out of the fictional room.
The pair are then falsely represented to be standing behind bars with champagne glasses in their hands.

50 Cent’s followers were quick to comment on the video post, with one fan writing, “
Whoever showed 50 how to use AI just opened up a whole new can of worms,” and another penning, “You can tell 50 has no skeletons in his closet the way he calls out everyone. Real one 
.”
The deepfake post comes after Jay-Z and Combs were accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in the early 2000s, via a civil lawsuit refiled on Sunday, December 8, by an anonymous woman. The alleged incident was said to have occurred at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty. Both Jay-Z and Diddy have denied the accusations, while Diddy has also denied all allegations lodged against him since his September 16 arrest.
This is not the first time 50 Cent has mocked Jay-Z and Diddy’s recent legal troubles. After Jay-Z and wife Beyoncé attended the Mufasa premiere in Hollywood on Monday, December 9, with Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles, and the pair’s daughter, Blue Ivy, 50 Cent shared photos from the outing via social media.
“Jay said they said I rapped [sic] a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL,” 50 Cent captioned a since-deleted Instagram post.
Earlier that day, 50 Cent also appeared to allude to the controversy via a post on his X account which referenced the Super Bowl, sharing a popular meme of himself driving away in a car. “Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl. 
,” 50 Cent captioned the X post. “I’m just asking for a friend.”

While the frivolous jabs keep coming, 50 Cent also expressed genuine concern for Jay-Z’s legal issues in an interview with radio host Big Boy for the Monday episode of BigBoyTV.
Clarifying his X post, 50 Cent said he was curious as to what the allegations mean for next year’s Super Bowl halftime show, set to be headlined by Kendrick Lamar. “I’m asking for Kendrick. I’m just trying to figure if we’re still doing everything,” 50 Cent explained. (Jay-Z’s Roc Nation has produced the halftime show since 2020.)
50 Cent also predicted that the NFL may cut its partnership with Jay-Z altogether. “They will fall back … the NFL, they won’t necessarily be associated to that,” 50 Cent said in the interview.
