50 Cent SUES ex Daphne Joy for defamation after she publicly accused him of rape and physical abuse in shock post - amid Diddy 'sex worker' lawsuit

50 Cent is suing his ex Daphne Joy for defamation after she accused him of rape and domestic violence in a shock Instagram post in March. This follows an online feud between the rapper and his ex, sparked by allegations made in a sex trafficking lawsuit against Diddy.

In the lawsuit, filed on Monday and obtained by TMZ, 50 Cent alleges that Joy's accusations were retaliatory after he sought sole custody of their son, Sire, following her involvement in the sex trafficking lawsuit against Diddy. He claims that her post has damaged his business reputation and child custody case.

Joy had denied the lawsuit's claim that she was a sex worker, calling it 'character assassination.' In response, she accused 50 Cent of rape and being an absent father to Sire. However, 50 Cent denied these allegations, and his lawyers sent Joy a letter demanding a retraction, which she refused.

Now, 50 Cent is seeking damages in excess of $1 million for defamation and a court order to take down Joy's post and refrain from further defamatory comments. This legal battle comes amidst a series of shocking allegations and lawsuits involving Diddy, where Joy was named as a 'sex worker.'
