50 Cent has some surprising views on Diddy’s upcoming legal strategy. He even gave a rare piece of advice as the embattled and disgraced music mogul faces a potential life sentence.
Get this, on Tuesday (April 9), the rapper shared his thoughts on Instagram regarding Combs’ efforts to secure high-profile attorney Joe Tacopina for his defense team.
“If Diddy can get Joe he might beat this case,” 50 Cent wrote alongside a screenshot of a news report about the potential legal team addition. “But he’s gonna have to pay a lot of money, there’s no time to prepare!”
The unexpected remarks come as speculation grows over Combs’ legal strategy amid serious allegations. While case details remain largely private, the defense is expected to focus heavily on the issue of consent.
Tacopina, who recently represented A$AP Rocky in a successful felony assault case, confirmed in a VladTV interview that he had discussions with Combs about joining the legal team. However, he ultimately declined due to the tight timeline for preparation.
Despite stepping away, Tacopina expressed belief in Combs’ ability to mount a strong defense.
“I didn’t turn him down because I don’t like him or I don’t believe in his case,” Tacopina said. “I think he’s got a very defensible case… It boils down to an issue of consent.”
That part.
