Rapper-turned-TV show creator 50 Cent is keeping his foot on Diddy’s neck by making fun of folks allegedly being paid to support him at his sex trafficking trial.
A TikTok user posted a video on May 20 showing a group of people assembled outside the federal courthouse in Manhattan where Diddy is being tried. The dozen or so folks wore black T-shirts with the phrase “Free Diddy” stenciled in all caps and white lettering.
Diddy or his associates allegedly paying for support
The original TikTok video by Emilie Hagen initially brought attention to the alleged situation, as she gave a firsthand account of the scene.
Hagen can be heard claiming, “So, these are all paid protesters, you can get $20 an hour if you wear a T-shirt.” She also spoke to an unidentified observer who said a woman tried to convince her to don a T-shirt for a “Diddy coin,” but she declined.

50 Cent, of course, added his acidic humor
Fifty, of course, found out about and then came his customary caustic and biting sarcasm aimed at his disgraced archenemy.
“Diddy paying people to wear Free Diddy shirts is diabolical,” Fifty told his 35 million Instagram followers. “But $20 a hour ain’t bad. I might go throw that on for a hour tomorrow.”
The optics of paying for the support campaign only opened Diddy up to further ridicule, satire, and mockery as he faces life imprisonment if he is convicted on all three charges of sex trafficking, RICO, and prostitution.
Combs’ federal trial has included a number of bombshell revelations, as testimony from Casandra “Cassie” Ventura Fine, singer Dawn Richards, Cassie’s mother, and others have included allegations ranging from accounts of alleged sexual abuse, violence, drug use, beatings, and veiled death threats.
