music mogul 50 cents has given a blow to jay-z after he was named as the second alleged perpetrator of the gang rape of a minor, along with the embattled rapper Sean “Diddy” combs.
The G-Unit founder also trolled Diddy in the past after the Bad Boy Records founder was arrested on federal sex crime charges.
50 Cent has previously commented on avoiding Diddy’s parties, events often attended by high-profile celebrities like Jay-Z.

Carrying his X (previously Twitter) page, 50 Cent overshadowed Jay-Z in the wake of the rapper becoming embroiled in a lawsuit in which he was accused of gang-raping a 13-year-old girl with Diddy at a party.
Although the producer made no direct mention of the allegations, he jokingly questioned whether the unfolding events could derail the holding of the Super Bowl.
“Okay, I don’t know what’s going on, but are we still having the Super Bowl? I’m just asking for a friend,” the “In Da Club” rapper wrote, pairing his words with a photo of himself sporting an unusual look.

While it’s unlikely that such accusations against Jay-Z could disrupt the Super Bowl, fans were quick to speculate that 50 Cent could have been alluding to the Super Bowl halftime show, where Jay-Z’s Roc Nation collaborates with Apple Music as an entertainment partner.

In the comments section of the rapper’s post, several fans humorously interacted with the rapper’s line of questioning.
One fan joked that while the Super Bowl would still take place, they had “no idea if the halftime show” would go on as planned.
Another individual commented, “They’re phasing out Jay Z and not giving him any camera time during the Super Bowl.”
A third X netizen commented, “we probably have an emergency meeting to change the halftime show as we speak.”
Someone else mentioned: “We’ll do it. Although rappers may not be part of the halftime show… I’m nominating Metallica.”
Some online users also commented that 50 Cent seems to be at the forefront of trolling his fellow rappers who have found themselves in trouble.

Another X netizen commented, “I keep thinking I’m a real hater, and then 50 Cent reminds me that I’m a rookie. I don’t hate enough.”

Several days ago, Jay-Z was named in an amended lawsuit as one of the people who raped a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty in 2000, according to NBC News.
The original lawsuit identified Jay-Z as “Celebrity A,” and the victim alleged that she encountered the rapper when he, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and an unidentified female celebrity entered a room where she was resting after feeling ” dizzy and dazed.” of a drink he had consumed.
In the filing, the victim claimed that Jay-Z stripped her naked and was the first to rape her. She added that once she was done, she held her down to allow Diddy to get his way.
Both attacks allegedly took place in the presence of the unnamed female celebrity, whose identity remains undisclosed.
The victim further revealed that she managed to escape the scene by hitting Diddy in the neck when he attempted to force her to perform oral sex on him.
The “Jane Doe” also mentioned that after the assault, she “fell into a deep depression,” which continues to “affect all facets of her life.”

In the wake of the rape allegation, Jay-Z issued a statement in which he denied the allegations and accused the victim and her attorney, Tony Buzbee, of “blackmail” to extort him.
More recently, he filed a motion with the court asking the victim to reveal her identity rather than pursue the case anonymously.
“Fair is fair,” reads the documents presented by the founder of Roc Nation, according to TMZ. “It is not consistent with justice, equity, or the rules governing federal proceedings for the plaintiff and her attorney to defame (Jay-Z)’s good name.”
“Make no mistake, this case is about retaliating against the rare target who wouldn’t pay,” the rapper’s filing further read.
In the wake of the rape allegations making headlines, Jay-Z issued a statement denying the allegations, calling them an “attempted blackmail.”
“My attorney received an attempted blackmail, called a demand letter, from a ‘lawyer’ named Tony Buzbee,” the Roc Nation founder wrote, referencing a letter the Texas-based attorney had sent informing the rapper of the accusations.
Jay-Z added: “What I had calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public scrutiny would make me want to settle. No sir, it had the opposite effect! It made me want to expose him for the fraud he is committing in a VERY public fashion. So no, I won’t give you EVEN A RED CENT!!
