Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, continued his pattern of mocking Sean Combs on the former mogul’s 57th birthday. On November 4, Combs marked the milestone while serving his sentence in federal custody. Jackson posted a brief message on social media that read, “Happy 57th B Day Diddy, wishing you many more. LOL.”

The exchange highlights the ongoing tension between the two artists. Jackson has used Combs’s legal status as a recurring source of commentary. Last year, when Combs turned 56, Jackson posted a message stating, “Told you he alright. Got his appeal going, Diddy good! Happy birthday LOL.” He also shared an AI-generated video of a figure resembling Combs dancing in a prison yard to the song “Mo Money Mo Problems.”

Combs is currently housed at Fort Dix in New Jersey. He moved to this facility after spending a long period in general population. His legal team recently addressed public concerns regarding his safety during his incarceration.

A representative for Combs stated that his well-being remains a priority. The team said, “His safety and well-being are always important to us, but we have no specific reason to believe he is at risk. We hope he can continue serving his time safely and without unnecessary disruption.”

Jackson’s latest post arrived as Combs continued to serve his sentence. The rapper has maintained a visible presence on social media, often referencing his former rival’s situation. This birthday message follows a series of similar interactions that have kept the two figures in the public eye despite Combs’s absence from the music scene.
