DIDDY routinely hired 50 Cent’s ex for sex work, a bombshell $30m lawsuit claims.
Explosive court documents accuse OnlyFans model Daphne Joy of being a sex worker involved in the rapper’s alleged sex trafficking ring.
Joy, who shares a 12-year-old son with 50 Cent, was claimed to be one of three women Diddy – real name Sean Combs – “bragged about” paying a “monthly stipend” for sex work.
The 37-year-old has not publicly addressed claims – but her ex 50 Cent spoke out against his former rap rival.
He wrote on X: “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done. They don’t come like that unless they got a case”.
Joy and 50 Cent split in 2012 after two years of dating.
More on Diddy
The musician previously slammed his baby mum over specualtion she was dating Diddy in 2022.
Diddy and Joy sparked romance rumours when they appeared to hang out on a private jet and at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas.
Joy is one of several people named in a lawsuit filed against Diddy’s former employee Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who helped produce Diddy’s most recent album.
He claims the mogul, 54, sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him as they worked together.

Jones alleges he was ordered to recruit prostitutes and have sex with them for the artist’s pleasure.
The record producer also claims he has hundreds of hours of video documenting Diddy’s “serious illegal activities” between 2022 and 2023.
In court documents filed in the US last month, Jones claimed Diddy’s “affiliation” to Prince Harry and other stars gave him and his associates “legitimacy”.
There is no suggestion Prince Harry did anything wrong, or had knowledge of wrongdoing by others. Harry was not named as a defendant.
On Monday, dramatic video showed homes in Miami and California owned by the star being raided by federal agents.
The searches were part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation by federal authorities in New York.
Combs was not detained and spoke to authorities, and neither he nor any family members were arrested, nor has their travel been restricted, according to attorney Aaron Dyer.
Dyer labelled the raids at Diddy’s mansions as an unprecedented ambush.
He said: “There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations.
“Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
Combs’ sons, Justin and Christian King Combs, were handcuffed during the raid at their father’s residence in Los Angeles.
Recent lawsuits against Diddy
DIDDY was hit with a wave of lawsuits in late 2023 and early 2024 with shocking allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault. He has denied all claims against him.
- Cassie, Diddy’s longtime girlfriend, sued him in November 2023, claiming she endured “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until their relationship ended in 2018. Diddy and Cassie settled the suit the day after it was filed.
- Diddy was hit with two more lawsuits a week later. Joi Dickerson accused Diddy of drugging and raping her and filming the attack when she was a 19-year-old college student in January 1991.
- A second accuser in a separate lawsuit claimed that Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990 or 1991 then showed up at her apartment and beat her several days later.
- Diddy was sued again in December by a woman who claimed he and two men gang-raped her in 2003 when she was 17 years old.
- In February 2024, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, who helped produce Diddy’s most recent album, claimed that the mogul sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him from September 2022 to November 2023 as they worked together.
The criminal investigation is a major escalation in the scrutiny of Combs, who has been the defendant in several sexual abuse lawsuits in recent months.
Diddy is facing a spat of sex trafficking allegations after his former partner Casandra Ventura, better known as Cassie, accused the rap icon of sexually abusing and assaulting her.
Singer Cassie, 37, had been romantically linked to Diddy for decades and was previously signed to his Bad Boy Records label.
In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court in November 2023 Cassie claimed that not long after meeting Diddy in 2005, when she was 19, he began a pattern of control and abuse.
She claimed that Diddy led her to “live a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse.”
Cassie’s lawsuit stated that she faced “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until her relationship with Diddy ended in 2018.
She accused the Bad Boy for Life rapper of forcing her to have sex with several male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters.
Near the end of their relationship, Diddy allegedly forced his way into her home and sexually assaulted her.
Despite the shocking allegations, Cassie and Diddy settled the lawsuit a day after the filing.
Cassie shared the news of the settlement in a statement.
“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” she wrote.
“I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.”
The rapper also released a statement, writing, “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably.
“I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”
His attorney said the settlement was not an admission of wrongdoing.
After the settlement, four other lawsuits were filed against Diddy.
Joi Dickerson accused Diddy of drugging and raping her and filming the attack when she was a 19-year-old college student in January 1991.
A second accuser in a separate lawsuit claimed that Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990 or 1991 then showed up at her apartment and beat her several days later.
A third woman, identified as Jane Doe in court documents, claimed that she was gang raped by three men including Diddy and Harve Pierre, president of Bad Boy Entertainment, in 2003.
