50 Cent reacts to disturbing video of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs beating Cassie Ventura in 2016

Giving his two cents.

On Friday, 50 Cent responded to a video of rival Sean “Diddy” Combs beating his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel in 2016.

“👀 Now I’m sure puffy didn’t do it, he is innocent this proves nothing ! This is what his lawyers are gonna say,” the “In Da Club” rapper, 48, wrote on X alongside the video. “God help us all 🙏🏾.”

50 Cent called out Sean “Diddy” Combs on X Friday after a video of him beating Cassie in 2016 was released. 50cent/X Despite the video evidence, 50 Cent said Diddy’s lawyers will still find a way to claim he is “innocent.” CNN

In the clip, Combs could be seen throwing Ventura to the ground before kicking her numerous times and dragging her across the floor.

The altercation occurred near the elevator bays outside the pair’s room at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.

The video, obtained originally by CNN, corroborated some of the allegations Ventura, 37, made against Combs, 54, in her November 2023 lawsuit, which cited physical abuse, rape and more.

The video was obtained and released by CNN on Friday. CNN In the disturbing video, Combs attacked Ventura outside an elevator. CNN

Shortly after filing the suit, Ventura — whose real name is Casandra — and Diddy reached an undisclosed settlement.

However, Combs and his lawyers have vehemently denied all the abuse claims against him.

The “Me & U” singer specifically mentioned the 2016 hotel assault in the complaint, claiming the attack started in their hotel room after Combs became “extremely intoxicated.”

While still inside their suite, Combs allegedly “punched Ms. Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye.”

Once he was asleep, Ventura tried to sneak out of the room but he “followed her into the hallway of the hotel while yelling at her,” the suit claimed.

“He grabbed at her and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her, causing glass to crash around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.”

Ventura was eventually able to escape and Combs allegedly paid the InterContinental $50,000 for the security footage.

50 Cent, a longtime critic of Combs, weighed in on the lawsuit soon after it was filed.

“Damn brother love, brother love, brother love, you out here looking 👀 CRAZY AS A MF. LMAO,” he captioned a stank-face selfie back in November.

The “I’ll Be Missing You” singer changed his name to “Love,” or “Brother Love,” in 2017, claiming it was a better representation of him.

After news broke that Diddy and Ventura settled their suit, 50 Cent warned his followers that there would be many more women coming forward with allegations of abuse — which rang true.

“LOL 😆 He paid that money real quick, should have done that before the sharks 🦈  saw the blood in the water 🩸 and here they come in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 every woman he put his hand on,” he wrote in a since-deleted post.
