G Unit mogul 50 Cent has furthered his public criticism of Sean “Diddy” Combs by issuing a petition calling for the end of his “exploitation” of the memory of slain legend The Notorious B.I.G.
In an interview on Eminem’s Shade 45 radio station earlier this week, 50 Cent derided the Bad Boy CEO for taking the spotlight above his own artists. The Queens rapper also lambasted Combs for what he perceived as a thinly veiled jab at last month’s BET Awards, where Combs stated in an interview that “hate is for suckers…and you know who I’m talking to, you hating ass crab.”
“Puffy is like a bitch. He always wants to be the hot bitch in the group,” 50 explained. “He wants to make sure he gets all the attention. I don’t know who he was talking about, because he didn’t say my name. We used to kick it and talk on the phone even after the Mase shit.”
50 Cent has launched a Twitter petition entitled RIP BIG on the grounds that the recent Diddy appearance on Jay Electronica’s “Ghost of Christopher Wallace” is disrespectful to Biggie’s memory.
“Enough is enough, Biggie’s name should never have become Diddy’s Black Card,” states 50’s petition, which currently has over 1400 signatures. “Just check out his latest video “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace” http://www.bit.ly/jay-diddy Let Diddy know to let B.I.G. rest in peace. When was the last time Diddy really was ‘biggin up his brother,’ not biggin up his bank?”
Since his emergence as a commercial superstar in 2003, 50 Cent has had a tumultuous professional relationship with Combs. In 2002, 50 Cent used B.I.G.’s vocals for the posthumous underground collaboration “Realist Nigga.”
In 2006, 50 Cent recorded the diss “The Bomb” over Diddy’s alleged refusal to release Mase to sign with G Unit. 50 also accused Diddy of knowing the identity of B.IG.’s killers and failing to retaliate.
“Who shot Biggie Smalls? We don’t get em they gone get us all/Man Puffy know who hit that nigga, man that nigga soft/ He scared niggas from the westside will break em off.
Diddy released a freestyle dubbed “I”m Richer” shortly following the diss, which made subliminal references to the feud.
Recently, 50 Cent’s comments have become more venomous against Diddy since the Bad Boy mogul’s formation of the Supreme Team. The group counts Rick Ross as a member, who was embroiled in a highly personal 2009 feud with 50. That conflict spilled over past records to insulting cartoons, and culminated with 50 Cent threatening DJ Khaled’s mother after sending unidentified men to her job.
At press time, Sean “Diddy” Combs has not publicly commented on 50 Cent’s petition or accusations. His album, Last Train to Paris, is due out on September 20.
