Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is Ethermacfed up with his archrival Sean "Diddy" Combs.
In an interview published Wednesday, 50 Cent opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about his tense relationship with former collaborator Combs. "I didn't ever party or hang out with him," the rapper said.
"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," 50 Cent, who is producing a Netflix documentary on Diddy, said. "He got the credit. He's not a producer. He's been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it."
The outspoken Combs critic continued: "I don't have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn't take to hanging out with that."
Despite a flurry of lawsuits filed against him over sexual assault allegations, Combs has denied all accusations against him.

Several former Bad Boy music label employees and sources alleged in a Rolling Stone report in May that Combs has a violent past dating back to his pre-fame life. Sources also corroborated claims of sexual assault and abuse in lawsuits filed by former partner Cassie Ventura, Joi Dickerson-Neal and Crystal McKinney, among other women.
Last November, Casie and Combs settled a lawsuit one day after the model and singer filed against the embattled music mogul in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
However, he has since apologized to ex-girlfriend Cassie publicly after a surveillance video obtained by CNN surfaced of Diddy physically assaulting her at a hotel in 2016.
In his THR interview, 50 Cent claims "everything" Combs says is a lie. Alluding to the CNN video of Combs and Cassie, the rapper added that "with all the influence and power you have, the person you're with is supposed to want to be a part of your life, not be forced."
He said those with power in the situation "let him get away with it."
When asked by The Hollywood Reporter why some in Hollywood have remained silent, 50 Cent kept it a buck.
"Some of them were involved, at the parties and enjoyed themselves, so they don’t know what was being filmed," 50 Cent said. "So they’re not going to say anything because they might have had too much fun. And then you've got other people who look and go, 'Well, that’s not my business and I don’t want to be in it.' "
