50 Cent has offered up his reaction to Diddy being found not guilty of the most serious charges in his sex trafficking trial.
While Diddy was found guilty of engaging in transportation for prostitution, he was cleared of both sex trafficking and racketeering.
The Bad Boy mogul’s frequent foe, 50 Cent, was one of the first to comment on the news.
He wrote on Instagram: “Diddy beat the Rico,that boy a bad man ! he like the Gay John Gotti.”
Fif then followed up by saying: “Get the fvck off my page talking about I’m supposed to be scared of the Gay Teflon Don!”
50 had recently blasted Diddy’s legal team over their closing statements and appeared to think that the record executive would not be dodging his charges.
Commenting on Instagram, 50 wrote: “Damn they did Diddy dirty them closing statements man, I could have done better then that. How much he pay them lawyers?”
In a since deleted post, he added: “She didn’t have the worst lawyer, You are the worst lawyer. Remember the name Marc Agnifilo. He just got Diddy ass 20 years.”
Following the split verdict, Diddy was denied bail by Judge Arun Subramanian who cited the record executive’s history of violent behavior.
He will now stay in custody until sentencing, which is tentatively scheduled for October 3.
In court sketches, Diddy could be seen celebrating the verdict, falling to his knees and appearing to pray. He was also seen clapping at the public gallery.
The charges we was found guilty of carry a maximum sentence of 10 years each though it is thought to be unlikely that will be imposed on Diddy.
In the aftermath of the verdict, Cassie filed a letter to the court arguing that Diddy posed a danger to the community if he was allowed out on bail.
Her attorney Douglas Wigdor wrote: “Ms Ventura believes that Mr Combs is likely to pose a danger to the victims who testified in this case, including herself, as well as to the community.”
After the judge made the decision to refuse Diddy bail, the rapper and producer could be heard saying to his family: “I’ll see you when I get out. We’re going to get through this.”
