In his viral interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 50 Cent opened up about the times he worked with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“It was mostly work. I wouldn’t call it a friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other,” he told the outlet. “[Diddy’s ex] Jennifer Lopez actually told him he should work with me as songwriter in the beginning.”
50 said Diddy would often call and try to get 50 to do more work for him. His son’s mother would answer the phone but he would get her to tell him he was not available because he did not want to take the call.
“I didn’t want to get on the phone like, ‘No, no, no.’ And she was like, ‘What the f-ck? We need money.’ She’s looking at me, like, ‘What? Why don’t you want to talk to him?’” he continued.
He added: “I didn’t ever party or hang out with him. Puff is a businessperson; when [people call him] a producer, I see people that were taken advantage of, who produced things that he took from them. He got the credit. He’s not a producer.”
