50 Cent Trolls Diddy And Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro With Savage Jail Cartoon

Share

50 Cent has never been subtle, and he’s definitely not slowing down now.

The Queens rapper has weighed in on the arrest of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro with a cartoon that takes aim at both the disgraced politician and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in one sharp, internet breaking swing.

50 took to Instagram to share a political cartoon depicting a man resembling Maduro bunked up in a prison cell with Diddy, in the image, the Bad Boy founder is shown braiding Maduro’s hair while saying, “They took my oil too”, a pointed jab referencing the massive stash of baby oil reportedly seized by federal agents during raids on Combs’ homes.

50 kept his caption calm on the surface, writing, “Good morning ladies and gentlemen, may today be productive and prosperous towards you and your goals. Make your enemies watch your progress repeatedly.”

The comments section did the rest

Followers quickly piled on, laughing at the sheer audacity of the post: “50 did it before South Park could,” one user wrote. Another added, “Idk what’s funnier, the braids or the they took my oil.”

The joke landed harder given the real world overlap, Maduro is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, the same facility where Combs was previously locked up before being transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.

The MDC has become a high profile holding centre, also housing accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione, Maduro was arrested by U.S. forces on Saturday, January 3rd, alongside his wife, Cilia, before being transported to New York. The deposed leader has pleaded not guilty to federal narco-terrorism charges. “I am not guilty. I am a decent man, the president of my country,” Maduro reportedly told a federal judge in Manhattan.

The timing of 50’s post also ties into his ongoing commentary on Combs’ downfall, In December, he released the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which digs into Diddy’s legal troubles and long history of alleged abuse.

Combs was ultimately sentenced to 50 months in prison on prostitution charges, avoiding more serious sex trafficking and racketeering convictions. Even 50’s ex, Chelsea Handler, couldn’t resist a dig, joking at the Critics Choice Awards, “Not to be confused with Netflix’s other music movie, 50 Cent: Diddy Hunter.”

At this point, trolling might as well be part of 50 Cent’s extended discography.
