50 Cent is set to drop his defamation lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend, who accused him of rape and assault. What led to this unexpected decision, and what are the explosive details behind the allegations? Let’s dive into the full story.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has denied the serious allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy, who accused him of rape and physical abuse. These claims surfaced publicly following reports that the rapper was seeking sole custody of their son, Sire. The custody battle came after Joy was named in a lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against music mogul Shawn “Diddy” Combs.
According to *The Hollywood Reporter*, Jones’ lawsuit accuses Combs of sex trafficking and abuse. In the amended civil complaint, both Daphne Joy and Yung Miami (a member of City Girls) were named. *USA Today* reported that Jones claimed Joy and Yung Miami were among the women allegedly paid a monthly fee to work as sex workers for Combs.
In response, 50 Cent took to Instagram in March 2024, posting a photo of himself smoking a cigar in the rain with the caption:
*”I didn’t know you was a sex worker.”*
Joy quickly fired back via Instagram, threatening legal action against Jones:
*”I am deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit. The claim that I am a sex worker is 100% false and a character assassination. I am retaining an attorney to explore all legal remedies against both Rodney and his attorney.”*
Shortly after, Joy made a second post on Instagram, this time accusing 50 Cent of sexually assaulting and abusing her during their relationship.
The two dated in 2011, had their son Sire in 2012, and split shortly afterward. In her emotional post, Joy wrote:
*”Curtis James Jackson, everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening now. You are causing real havoc, frenzy, and chaos in people’s lives. How would you feel if S was the one in handcuffs for nothing?”*
*”We moved to New York to give you the opportunity to be a father to your son, and you saw him 10 times in two years while we lived just a mile away from you. I am tired of upholding and protecting an image for our son that you have never earned. Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions—raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor, and my God will handle you from this point on. You have permanently shattered the last hope I had for you as a father and destroyed our family. With these final false accusations against me, you have broken our hearts for the last and final time.”*
In response, 50 Cent issued a statement via *The Hollywood Reporter*:
*”The disturbing allegation in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy, the mother of my 12-year-old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son, Sire. The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son. My son, Sire, is my main priority, and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time.”*
*TMZ* also reported that Joy and Diddy have been romantically linked in the past. 50 Cent even posted a picture of Joy with Diddy, accusing her of taking money from him and calling her a “little sex worker.”
Now, 50 Cent is reportedly looking to drop the defamation lawsuit against Joy. The drama between them is far from over—only time will tell what happens next.
In the recent sexual assault case against music mogul Diddy, Daphne Joy was named as one of his alleged sex workers. Born in the Philippines in 1987, Joy is a prominent social media influencer with over 1.6 million Instagram followers. Her fame extends beyond her high-profile relationships with celebrities.
According to *IMDb*, Joy has worked as a model and actress, appearing in *Frankenhood* and *Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides*. In November 2022, she hinted at launching her own bikini brand under her name. Currently, she sells an eight-piece collection of silhouette dresses on her website, featuring elastic, breathable fabric designed to accentuate a woman’s curves. She also has an OnlyFans account, where subscribers pay $24.99 a month for exclusive content.
Joy has been romantically involved with several A-list musicians. She dated 50 Cent from 2011 to 2012 before splitting shortly after their son’s birth. In 2015, she dated Jason Derulo, making their red carpet debut at the *People’s Choice Awards* before breaking up in May 2016. Most recently, she has been linked to Diddy, having been spotted with him multiple times over the years.
