50 Cent denies rape allegation

American artist 50 Cent has denied claims of rape and physical abuse from his former partner, Daphne Joy.  

In a long Instagram post, Joy criticised 50 Cent for neglecting their son, Sire, and also accused him of rape and physical abuse during their relationship. She expressed frustration over his minimal involvement in their son’s life, despite their close proximity in New York.

However, 50 Cent’s representative quickly refuted Joy’s allegations, blaming them on her resentment of his custody suit and claiming that his priority is the protection of their baby while Joy is involved in legal processes.
