Diddy’s son King Combs, real name Christian Combs, went viral on Thursday with a since-deleted threat directed towards his father’s longtime rival, 50 Cent, which 50 immediately responded to. The cause of Diddy’s son’s tweet remains unknown.

On Dec. 18, King Combs posted on X, formerly Twitter, “On my dad, if I ever see 50 Cent, I’ll slap the f*** outta him.”

50 Cent responded within hours, choosing ridicule over restraint. “😂 Lil bro, first, close your damn mouth when you take pictures,” he wrote, immediately treating the threat with humor.

He then turned the exchange into a flex-heavy résumé check. 50 continued: “I been rich 3 different times, sold records, sold shows, sold liquor, sold power.”
