Taking to Instagram on Friday, the G-Unit boss shared a sarcastic response to the graphic footage, which shows Diddy brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie. 50 Cent’s comments come amid multiple lawsuits against the Bad Boy Records founder over alleged sexual assault and sex trafficking.
“Now I’m sure Puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent, this proves nothing! This is what his lawyers are gonna say, God help us all,” Fif wrote.
Hours after CNN shared the video, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office released a statement acknowledging the video’s circulation online, calling it “extremely disturbing and difficult to watch.”
“If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately, we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted,” the statement read.
“As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr. Combs,” they continued. “But we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services.”
On Saturday, 50 Cent took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the statement from law enforcement. “This is why they put that tape out,” he captioned a screenshot of the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office’s statement. “They know they can’t charge him with what we saw, but they know we can’t unsee what we saw.”
Over the weekend, 50 Cent also commented on Diddy’s apology video following the release of the assault footage.
