(NewsNation) — Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson said Sean “Diddy” Combs should have taken a plea deal in his federal sex trafficking case. Jackson was in court Thursday to hear the cross-examination of Combs’ ex-partner, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
Jackson has been vocal on social media throughout Combs’ trial and posted his opinion about Combs’ legal options after Ventura testified for a third day Thursday.
The judge in the case has insisted Ventura’s testimony be completed by Friday, as she is pregnant with her third child and is expecting to give birth at any time.
“After listening to today’s testimony, I think the diddler should have took the plea offer,” Jackson wrote on social media Thursday. “The s— they are saying is beyond me, so what do ya think?”
50 Cent on allegations in Diddy trial
Jackson has been regularly posting to social media about the accusations Ventura has made about Combs on the stand.
Much of Ventura’s cross-examination has centered around text messages and emails she exchanged with Combs, after prosecutors earlier this week focused on the “Freak Off” sex parties that Ventura described in great detail.
“Damn, he did all that s— to go out like this,” Jackson wrote. “SMH, This s— is crazier than regular crazy.”
50 Cent on Diddy and Jay-Z friendship
Jackson has also posted about fellow rapper Jay-Z’s continued friendship with Combs and included photos of the two musicians together.
“Friends till the end, Jay you still there?” he wrote in the post, which included several photos. “We blew up Kid cudi’s car to show him who’s the BOSS!”
The post referred to an incident in which Combs allegedly set fire to rival rapper Kid Cudi’s car after discovering he was dating Ventura.
Ventura sued Combs in 2023 and settled the suit for $20 million, she told jurors this week.
The lawsuit claimed Combs became so angry about the relationship that he threatened to “blow up” Cudi’s car, Page 6 reported.
