50 Cent has never been shy about speaking his mind, and this time he’s taking aim at Diddy’s legal squad.
- The rapper believes Marc Agnifilo’s closing arguments fell short, and he didn’t hold back on Instagram.
- 50 suggested Diddy should have hired A$AP Rocky’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, who previously declined the case.
- Tacopina has close ties to JAY-Z, which influenced his decision not to represent Diddy.
- Despite the criticism, Diddy added Brian Steel to his defense, known for securing rapper Young Thug’s release.
50 Cent wasted no time in making his opinions known about Diddy’s legal team. Expressing his thoughts on Instagram, he pointed at Marc Agnifilo’s closing statements, wondering aloud about the legal fees. “Damn they did Diddy dirty them closing statements man,” he wrote, taking a jab at their performance.
Not stopping there, 50 Cent continued with his critique by bluntly pointing fingers in a since-deleted post. He wrote, “She didn’t have the worst lawyer, You are the worst lawyer. Remember the name Marc Agnifilo. He just got Diddy ass 20 years.”
The rapper even offered unsolicited advice, advocating for the hiring of Joe Tacopina, who famously defended many high-profile clients. However, Tacopina opted out due to his close ties with JAY-Z and Roc Nation, stating, “That’s sort of family to me and I don’t think they see eye-to-eye with P. Diddy.”
Despite the unexpected legal advice from 50 Cent, Diddy chose to bolster his team with Brian Steel, a lawyer known for his work with Young Thug. Steel’s reputation comes from his success in legal battles, particularly in securing plea deals.
Throughout this legal drama, the underlying tensions and connections in the hip-hop world are evident. Tacopina, emphasizing his loyalty, dismissed rumors of a bond between JAY-Z and Diddy: “Everyone wants a picture with P. Diddy, at one time or another, when they went to a party.”
Amidst this whirlwind of opinions and decisions, Diddy’s legal future remains a topic of widespread discussion.
