On Friday, 50 Cent responded to a video of rival Sean “Diddy” Combs beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel in 2016.
“👀 Now I’m sure puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing ! This is what his lawyers are gonna say,” the “In Da Club” rapper, 48, wrote on X alongside the video. “God help us all 🙏🏾.”
In the clip, Combs could be seen throwing Ventura to the ground before kicking her numerous times and dragging her across the floor.
The altercation occurred near the elevator bays outside the pair’s room at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.
The video, obtained originally by CNN, corroborated some of the allegations Ventura, 37, made against Combs, 54, in her November 2023 lawsuit, which cited physical abuse, rape and more.
Shortly after filing the suit, Ventura — whose real name is Casandra — and Diddy reached an undisclosed settlement.
However, Combs and his lawyers have vehemently denied all the abuse claims against him.
On Friday, 50 Cent also reposted Combs’ previous statement in which the latter insisted that he “did not do any of the awful things being alleged.” The former captioned the screenshot, “The lie detector test has determined this was a lie…. Maury vibes.”
Ventura specifically mentioned the 2016 hotel assault in her complaint, claiming the attack started in their hotel room after Combs became “extremely intoxicated.”
While still inside their suite, Combs allegedly “punched Ms. Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye.”
Once he was asleep, the “Me & U” singer tried to sneak out of the room but he “followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her,” the suit claimed.
“He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”
Ventura was eventually able to escape and Combs allegedly paid the InterContinental $50,000 for the security footage.
