50 Cent has taken aim at Diddy‘s legal team for how they have handled his sex trafficking trial.
Fif particularly took aim at Marc Agnifilo and his conduct during closing statements.
Commenting on Instagram, 50 wrote: “Damn they did Diddy dirty them closing statements man, I could have done better then that. How much he pay them lawyers?”
In a since deleted post, he added: “She didn’t have the worst lawyer, You are the worst lawyer. Remember the name Marc Agnifilo. He just got Diddy ass 20 years.”
50 had previously recommended that Diddy hire A$AP Rocky’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina.

50 wrote on Instagram: “If Diddy can get Joe he might beat this case but he gonna have to pay a lot of money, there’s no time to prepare!”
Tacopina had revealed that Diddy had reached out to him before his trial started earlier this year.
The famed lawyer, who has also represented the likes of Donald Trump and baseball legend Alex Rodriguez, had previously told The Breakfast Club that he was not interested in representing the accused sex trafficker.
He said: “I was asked to take a look at the case, that’s another case I said I was not interested in.”

Tacopina then revealed the reason was because he is close to JAY-Z: “I represent Roc Nation; a lot of people in Roc I’m very close with. Jay and [Roc Nation president] Desiree Perez, who’s the most amazing, like bomb of a boss. Jay is amazing. You know, Jay Brown, all those people are just, like, they really are special, special people. That’s sort of family to me and I don’t think they see eye-to-eye with P. Diddy.”
Tacopina also dismissed the idea that JAY-Z and Diddy were close: “Everyone wants a picture with P. Diddy, at one time or another, when they went to a party.”
Diddy did eventually end up adding Brian Steel to his vast legal team. Steel rose to fame last year as Young Thug’s lead attorney during his RICO trial, a case that ultimately ended in the Atlanta rapper securing a plea deal that saw him released from jail.
