Is 50 Cent Dropping Lawsuit Against Ex Daphne Joy? Here’s What We Know

by

As a seasoned observer of high-profile celebrity feuds, I must admit that the rollercoaster ride between 50 Cent and Daphne Joy has been nothing short of riveting. From their tumultuous relationship to the defamation lawsuit, it’s like watching a reality show unfold in real life.

50 Cent, both a rapper and businessman, appears to be considering withdrawing his defamation lawsuit against his ex, Daphne Joy. The suit, initially filed in May, claimed over $1 million in compensation due to Joy’s accusations of rape and physical abuse against him on Instagram. This recent move might suggest a change in the ongoing hostility between the two former partners.

50 Cent, known as Curtis Jackson, initiated a defamation suit against Joy in May. This is the woman with whom he shares a 12-year-old son named Sire. The lawsuit was filed after Joy posted a detailed message on Instagram in March, alleging that the rapper had committed severe crimes including rape and physical abuse.

Joy expressed her frustration in a since-removed message, stating, “I’m tired of maintaining and safeguarding an image for our son that you never deserved.” She urged a shift in attention towards your genuine wrongdoings, such as raping her and physically abusing her. “From now on, you are no longer my oppressor. My faith will take care of you from this moment forward,” she concluded.

Jackson’s legal representatives argued that the social media post tarnished his image and negatively impacted his career, leading them to pursue a compensation exceeding $1 million. Due to the prominence of the individuals concerned, this controversial post generated significant buzz.

By July, Joy took down the critical Instagram post, a source revealed to TMZ, suggesting it was an effort to reconcile things between her and 50 Cent. No formal announcement was made initially, but the deletion of the post was seen as a potential turning point in their situation.

Based on reliable sources, it appears that the removal of the post could have impacted Jackson’s thinking about the lawsuit. Although he took legal action, the rapper largely stayed out of the public eye regarding this matter, choosing instead to handle it through the court system rather than expressing his views frequently on social media.

On September 6, 2024, recently disclosed court papers showed that 50 Cent petitioned the court to discard the ongoing lawsuit against him. This motion was submitted in such a way that it doesn’t rule out the possibility of refiling the lawsuit later if needed. Notably, TMZ suggests that this dismissal request is likely to be accepted, with the judge’s approval being considered more of a technicality.

It seems like Joy’s post being taken down might have played a role in Jackson deciding not to pursue the case anymore. Neither side has spoken publicly about it since the motion was made, but this situation hints that the dispute could potentially be settled or calmed down.

Over the past few years, my relationship with Daphne Joy has been marked by ups and downs. We were an item from 2011 to 2012, and we share a wonderful son named Sire. Unfortunately, our separation hasn’t been easy, as our disagreements have sometimes made the news. Apart from the defamation lawsuit, I’ve even pursued sole custody of Sire in the past, mainly due to allegations concerning Daphne’s involvement in another legal matter.

50 Cent claimed Joy as a potential sex worker in her involvement in Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones’ lawsuit against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. This accusation sparked more legal complications, leading 50 Cent to request full custody of their shared child in response.

The media often reports on the strained connection between the ex-pair, yet they’ve strived to maintain some parts of their romance confidential. As reported by People, Jackson welcomed his firstborn, Marquise Jackson, with Shaniqua Tompkins in 1996, prior to his relationship with Joy.
