50 Cent is withdrawing the $1 million defamation lawsuit he previously filed against his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son, Daphne Joy.
According to legal documents obtained by HipHopDX on Wednesday (September 11), Fif has asked the judge to dismiss the suit without prejudice. His request has not yet been finalized as of this writing, but that’s likely just a matter of time.
The G-Unit rapper filed the suit in May, blasting his ex for an Instagram post she made two months prior where she accused him of sexually and physically assaulting her.
In his complaint, 50 claimed Joy’s post was made in retaliation to her finding out that he was seeking sole custody of their son after she was accused of being one of Diddy’s “sex workers” in producer Lil Rod’s sexual assault lawsuit against the Bad Boy mogul.
50 added the allegations severely damaged his business reputation and child custody case, while opening him up to negative comments online.
The rapper’s lawyers reportedly sent a letter to Daphne Joy in early April demanding the removal of the post, but she refused. The request was apparently met with lawyers telling 50 to pay Joy millions of dollars and drop his custody suit, which he called “clearly extortive.”
50’s legal team also released a statement dismissing allegations as “false” and “malicious” while claiming Joy has “misguided loyalty” to Diddy.
“Despite being given ample opportunity to retract a false and malicious retaliatory accusation, Ms. Narvaez has shamefully chosen to interfere with her 11-year-old son’s relationship with his loving father by falsely calling him a ‘rapist,’” the statement read.
“The motivation behind this appears to be Ms. Narvaez’s unfortunate entanglement and misguided loyalty to Mr. Combs, who we believe to be underwriting this attack and whom Mr. Jackson has been warning Ms. Narvaez and others about for many years.”
