50 Cent’s Ex-Partner Daphne Joy Named in Diddy’s $30 Million Lawsuit Amid Sex-Trafficking Allegations

Daphne Joy, the for­mer part­ner of rap­per 50 Cent, has been named in a $30 mil­lion law­suit against Sean “Did­dy” Combs, alleg­ing her involve­ment in the rap­per’s alleged sex-traf­fick­ing ring. Accord­ing to court doc­u­ments, Combs report­ed­ly bragged about pay­ing a month­ly stipend to Joy and two oth­er women for their sex work.

Joy, who has not pub­licly addressed the alle­ga­tions, shares a son with 50 Cent and dat­ed him in 2011. Amid the legal bat­tle, the “In Da Club” rap­per has been open­ly crit­i­cal of Combs, often tak­ing to social media to mock him.

The law­suit was filed by pro­duc­er Rod­ney “Lil Rod” Jones, who accused Combs of sex­u­al assault and coerc­ing him into solic­it­ing sex work­ers. Jones claimed that he was drugged and raped at a par­ty in Feb­ru­ary 2023.

Combs and his team have vehe­ment­ly denied all alle­ga­tions, with his attor­ney Shawn Hol­ley call­ing Jones a “liar” seek­ing finan­cial gain. Combs’ lawyer, Aaron Dyer, also crit­i­cized the gov­ern­men­t’s search of his prop­er­ties as a “witch hunt” and a “gross overuse of mil­i­tary-lev­el force.”

As fed­er­al inves­ti­ga­tions con­tin­ue and Combs faces mul­ti­ple sex­u­al assault law­suits, 50 Cent has been unsym­pa­thet­ic, sug­gest­ing that the mount­ing alle­ga­tions could spell the end of his neme­sis’ career.
