Summary:
-
A feud between Marlon Wayans and 50 Cent over P. Diddy’s documentary sparked a viral clash online.
-
Ja Rule joined in by sharing a fake image of 50 Cent and Diddy in a hot tub, leading to a backfire.
-
Wayans and Ja Rule resorted to serious allegations against 50 Cent, but public opinion remains against them.
A new unexpected celebrity feud began when Marlon Wayans appeared on The Cruz Show and criticized 50 Cent for “kicking a man while he’s down” regarding his new P. Diddy documentary. Wayans warned 50 about karma, seemingly forgetting that the “Petty King” has spent decades feuding with Diddy and even promoted the documentary on ABC News specifically because it is available in prisons. 50 Cent immediately fired back with receipts, posting old tweets where Wayans praised Diddy’s parties, setting the stage for a viral internet clash.
The situation escalated when Wayans and 50’s nemesis, Ja Rule, attempted to humiliate the rapper by sharing a compromising image of him and Diddy in a hot tub. However, this strategy backfired spectacularly when internet sleuths quickly debunked the image as an AI-generated fake, prompting 50 Cent to retaliate with real, unedited photos from Wayans’ past modeling shoots. While Wayans brought a fake image to the fight, 50 Cent’s use of actual “rainbow-themed” photos turned public opinion against the comedian for using AI to push a false narrative.
Realizing the jokes were failing, Wayans and Ja Rule pivoted to a more serious attack by unearthing 50 Cent’s 2013 domestic violence arrest to label him a hypocrite. Despite these serious allegations, the general consensus remains that defending Diddy, who is currently incarcerated for sex trafficking, by attacking 50’s character is a losing strategy.
