3 min read
50 Cent, never one to shy away from controversy, has taken aim at JAY-Z in light of recent assault allegations. The G-Unit founder used social media to mock JAY-Z for attending the premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King alongside his wife, Beyoncé, and daughter, Blue Ivy, just one day after a lawsuit was filed accusing him of sexual assault.
The Allegations
On December 8, an amended lawsuit was filed accusing JAY-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a 2000 MTV VMAs after-party. The allegations, which surfaced in an earlier lawsuit in October, were expanded in this new filing by a Jane Doe accuser.

JAY-Z has categorically denied the claims in a statement released shortly after the complaint became public. Despite the denial, the timing of his appearance at the premiere with his family has fueled public speculation and commentary.
50 Cent’s Troll Posts
The day after the lawsuit amendment was filed, JAY-Z attended the Mufasa: The Lion King premiere to support Beyoncé and Blue Ivy, both of whom are involved in the project. 50 Cent took to Instagram, sharing a photo of the Carter family at the event with a caption that read:
“Jay said they said I rapped [sic] a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL.”
