50 Cent Knew Something Was Up After Diddy Asked to Take Him Shopping: ‘I Thought That Was the Weirdest Sh*t in the World’

50 Cent has opened up about his decision to produce a docuseries on the allegations against Diddy, who he had consistently criticized in the wake of mounting criminal claims.

The G-Unit rapper sat down for an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and spoke at length about his relationship with Diddy. He is currently producing a Netflix-backed documentary series about the Bad Boy Records founder.

“I’m the only one from hip-hop culture that’s produced quality projects,” said 50 Cent when asked why he’s pursuing the project. “We do have a lot of talent within our culture where the talent has developed a comfortability in front of the camera, so they’re usually a part of it as an actor or driving force of why someone would watch the project; not the behind-the-scenes production, producing the whole project, so there’s a difference.”

In the interview, 50 Cent was asked to share what made him hesitant to attend Diddy’s infamous parties and why he distanced himself from the business mogul.

“He asked to take me shopping,” said 50, who has made similar claims in the past. “I thought that was the weirdest shit in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman. And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not fucking with this weird energy or weird shit,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”

He also briefly spoke about some of the collaborations he’s done with Diddy in the past and said it was “mostly” just a working relationship.

“I wouldn’t call it a friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other,” he said. “There’s points that we worked together. Jennifer Lopez actually told him he should work with me as songwriter in the beginning. And I was around at the early stages, and he could have done my record deal at that point.”

The rapper made a point to stress that he never partied or hung out with Diddy.

“Puff is a businessperson; when [people call him] a producer, I see people that were taken advantage of, who produced things that he took from them,” he continued. “He got the credit. He’s not a producer. He’s been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it. I don’t have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn’t take to hanging out with that.”

As for the allegations against Diddy, Fif suggested that it took so long to come out because of the people were “involved” in his alleged behavior.

“They don’t know what the fuck is on tape or what’s not on tape, so they’re not going to say anything because they might have had too much fun,” he said. “And then you’ve got other people who look and go, ‘Well, that’s not my business and I don’t want to be in it.'”

Additionally, he believes the attitude in hip-hop against “snitching” had an impact.

“It’s not uncomfortable for me to say what I said because I’ve been saying this shit for four years, five years,” he said. “I been telling you, ‘I don’t fuck with him. I don’t like the way he moving. This is a little crazy.’ Everybody else is not going to be as comfortable as I am saying it.”

50 Cent and Diddy have had a contentious relationship since the ’00s. While the Bad Boy Records founder co-signed the G-Unit rapper on numerous occasions, they were officially at each other’s throats by the time Fif dissed him outright in 2006 and accused him of being involved with the Notorious B.I.G.’s still-unsolved murder. A decade later, 50 Cent accused Diddy of being involved with 2Pac’s unsolved murder, too.
