50 Cent Dating Misa Hylton Allegedly Sparked Beef with Diddy — Who Later Went After Daphne Joy

The decades-long tension between 50 Cent and Diddy may have deeper roots than fans once thought — and now, new rumors are shedding light on how it all began.

According to viral chatter across social media, the origin of the beef between the two hip-hop moguls stems from 50 Cent reportedly dating Misa Hylton, the mother of Diddy’s son, Justin Combs. While the relationship between 50 and Misa was never publicly confirmed, sources claim it was enough to ignite a behind-the-scenes rivalry that’s lasted for years.

Fast forward, and many fans are now connecting the dots, claiming Diddy eventually retaliated by getting involved with 50’s second baby mama, Daphne Joy. Their alleged relationship made headlines when Daphne was later named in a lawsuit, with explosive claims that she had been involved in Diddy’s alleged sex trafficking activities — a situation 50 himself publicly commented on, dragging both Diddy and Joy on social media.

While none of the key players have officially confirmed these back-and-forth relationship ties, the internet has run wild with theories suggesting this personal drama is at the heart of the public jabs, shady Instagram posts, and interview clips that have kept the 50 vs. Diddy feud alive for so long.

The messy love triangle-turned-power-struggle adds a deeper layer to the ongoing beef — one that blends the personal with the professional in true hip-hop fashion.

With both moguls known for their unapologetic personas and no-holds-barred media tactics, don’t expect this feud to fizzle out anytime soon.
