50 Cent unsurprisingly has jokes ready to go as Diddy’s homes across the country were raided as part of an investigation by federal agents.
Moments after the news broke on Monday (March 25), Fif took to Instagram with screenshots of news reports of the raid, which include aerial shots of the 54-year-old’s homes in both Miami and Los Angeles.

“Shit just got real [eye emojis] the Fed’s in all the cribs, damn they got the kids in cuffs,” he wrote in the first of two posts.
Soon after, he added: “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done [shrug emoji] they don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
Law enforcement officials raided the Bad Boys mogul’s homes just an hour prior to 50 Cent’s posts. Footage from the raid appeared to show both of the mogul’s sons, Christian and Justin Combs, in cuffs at his Los Angeles property, though this hasn’t been confirmed yet.
About the operation, a Homeland Security Investigations representative told TMZ: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
The case is reportedly being handled by the Southern District of New York in relation to the multiple allegations recently brought against Diddy for sexual harassment and misconduct.
According to a public flight tracker, Diddy’s private jet departed LAX earlier in the day and was last spotted over Puerto Rico — the destination remains unknown.

Last month, a producer named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones (who worked on The Love Album: Off the Grid) accused Diddy of sexual harassment as well as drugging and threatening him over the course of a year.
According to a trigger warning that prefaces the court documents, the lawsuit contains “highly graphic information of a sexual nature, including sexual assault. Additionally, there are graphic images of the aftermath of a shooting, redacted images of sexual intercourse, redacted images of minors, sex workers, and prostitutes, details of sex trafficking, the illegal distribution of guns, and drugs.”

Diddy has vehemently denied all claims, with his lawyer Shawn Holley sharing the following statement with HipHopDX: “Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday. His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.
“We have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies. Our attempts to share this proof with [Lil Rod]’s attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, have been ignored, as Mr. Blackburn refuses to return our calls.”
