Us Weekly’s 5 Hot Stories: 50 Cent Defends Diddy Stance, New Details on Liam Payne’s Death

50 Cent was vocal about his feelings toward Diddy long before the latter’s recent arrest. Through the years, 50 Cent publicly called out Diddy both on stage and online — but he’s making it clear he has no regrets. “I’m like, ‘Yo, it’s just my perspective because I stayed away from that stuff the entire time, because this is not my style,’” 50 Cent shared in an interview published Monday, October 21. His comments come one month after Diddy was indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, all of which he has denied. The rapper pleaded not guilty to all charges and is currently behind bars in Brooklyn awaiting his May 2025 trial. Start the week with more top stories below:
