50 Cent is suing his ex Daphne Joy for defamation after she accused him of rape and abuse amid the ongoing custody battle of their 12-year-old son, Sire.
The rapper, 48, claims that Joy, 37, “falsely and publicly” accused him of “rape and physical abuse” during their past relationship, which lasted from 2011 to 2013.
50 Cent whose real name is Curtis Jackson claimed Joy whose full name is Daphne Joy Narvaez made a “purposeful attempt to, on information and belief, destroy his personal and business reputation, harm Jackson’s commercial and business interests, negatively affect his custody case, and prevent him from seeing his minor son,” the docs continue the musician claimed he has been “subjected to extensive public ridicule, hatred, and contempt” following Joy’s public allegations.
50 Cent is looking to “vindicate his rights and protect his reputation” from Joy’s “calculated attack.” The rapper is also seeking punitive and exemplary damages for “severe harm” caused by Joy’s “false and defamatory statements.” 50 Cent and Joy welcomed Sire in 2012 and continued to coparent their son following their 2013 split.
Recent court documents revealed that Joy was named a “sex worker” in a case against Sean “Diddy” Combs and claimed that 50 Cent did not know “the full extent and nature” of her relationship with the fellow musician
