50 Cent is suing his ex-girlfriend and 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 mother Daphne Joy for $1 million for accusing him of rape and physical abuse.
According to TMZ, the G-Unit rapper filed a defamation suit on Monday (May 6) against Joy, with whom he shares an 11-year-old son named Sire Jackson.

documents filed on Monday (May 6) show the G-Unit rapper blasting his ex for an Instagram post she made on March 28, suing her for defamation and a court order to take down the post and refrain from other defamatory comments.
The suit centers around an Instagram post the model uploaded in March where she accused 50 (real name Curtis Jackson) of 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually and physically assaulting her.
In his complaint, 50 claims Joy’s post was made in retaliation to her finding out that he was seeking sole custody of their son after she was accused of being one of Diddy’s “𝓈ℯ𝓍 workers” in producer Lil Rod’s 𝓈ℯ𝓍ual assault lawsuit against the Bad By mogul.
50 says the allegations have severely damaged his business reputation and child custody case, while opening him up to negative comments online.
The rapper’s lawyers reportedly sent a letter to Daphne Joy in early April demanding the removal of the post, but she refused. The request was apparently met with lawyers telling 50 to pay Joy millions of dollars and drop his custody suit, which he called “clearly extortive.”
50’s legal team also released a statement dismissing allegations as “false” and “malicious” while claiming Joy has “misguided loyalty” to Diddy.
“Despite being given ample opportunity to retract a false and malicious retaliatory accusation, Ms. Narvaez has shamefully chosen to interfere with her 11-year-old son’s relationship with his loving father by falsely calling him a ‘rapist,’” the statement read.
“The motivation behind this appears to be Ms. Narvaez’s unfortunate entanglement and misguided loyalty to Mr. Combs, who we believe to be underwriting this attack and whom Mr. Jackson has been warning Ms. Narvaez and others about for many years.”
In her original Instagram post, which came after 50 Cent poked fun at her “𝓈ℯ𝓍 worker” drama, Daphne Joy wrote: “Everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening now. You are wreaking real havoc, frenzy, and chaos onto people’s lives. How would u feel if Sire was the one in handcuffs? For nothing.
“We moved to New York to give you the opportunity to be a father to your son and you saw him 10 times out of the 2 years that we lived 1 mile away from you. I am tired of upholding and protecting an image to our son that you have never even earned.”
She continued: “Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me. You are no longer my oppressor and my God will handle you from this point on.
“You have permanently damaged the last hope I had for you as a father to preserve our family with these last and final false claims made against me. You have broken our hearts for the last and final time.”
50 Cent initially reacted to the post by calling her accusations “false and baseless” while stating his priority was his son’s safety.
“The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy, the mother of my 11-year-old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire,” he said.
“The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son. My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time.”
