American hip hop icon 50 Cent has previously explained why he has never been to one of Diddy's controversial 'freak off' parties after the record producer was arrested and charged with a number of sex trafficking crimes.
It is safe to say that Fiddy - real name Curtis Jackson - and Diddy have not seen eye to eye for quite some time, with Jackson taking swipes at Diddy for years before he was arrested last month.
Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs and who used to go by the monikers Puffy Daddy and P Diddy, is currently being held in custody at Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn where he is expected to stay ahead of facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The 54-year-old was arrested at a hotel in Manhattan, New York, in September and remained in custody ever since, with bail applications denied. Combs denies the charges.
Diddy is accused of using his 'power and prestige' to drug sex workers in exclusive private parties he would host, dubbed 'freak off' parties.
Prosecutors allege that during these 'freak offs' - which are described as sex parties lasting for days - Diddy 'hit, kicked, and threw objects at' his victims, leaving them with injuries that took weeks to heal in some cases.

Meanwhile, 120 accusers have come forward with a number of other allegations against Combs.
At least six lawsuits were filed in federal court in Manhattan last Monday (14 October). These fresh lawsuits accuse Combs of raping women, sexually assaulting men and molesting a 16-year-old boy. As with the other charges, Combs denies them outright.
Now, in an interview with People magazine, 50 Cent revealed why he has commented on Combs' recent legal issues, saying it's nothing new from his end.
"It's really me just saying what I've been saying for 10 years," he said, while also confirming he is making a documentary on the charges against Diddy.

"Now it's becoming more full-facing in the news with the Puffy stuff, but away from that, 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.’ "
On why he never went to the parties himself, which many A-lister celebrities have attended over the years, Jackson last year revealed why it's not his cup of tea.
"That’s why I don’t be going to them Puffy parties," 50 Cent told the crowd.
"N**** hug you from the front and the back at the same time? F**k you talking about?”

Fiddy continued: "Look, if you into that, you into that, I’m fine with it. To each his own.
"I’m just sayin’ this ain’t my motherf***ing kind of party. It’s uncomfortable.
"I think I belong in the girls' bathroom when s*** like that is going on."
In another clip, 50 Cent said the reason he never went to a Diddy party was because he was 'not in to that type of stuff' that was happening at his parties.
A lawyer for Diddy previously denied all allegations in a statement issued to LADbible Group, which reads: "As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasised, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.

"That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
"He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation."
