If fans didn’t already think 50 Cent was the King of ‘pettiness,’ his latest move has certainly cemented it.
The 50-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, made an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America to promote and discuss his new Netflix project Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which details the downfall of Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs and the allegations made against him.
During the live interview, the In Da Club rapper beamed ear to ear as he dished all when it came to his new TV project. And now, he responded to reports that he had purposely given the interview on ABC so his nemesis Diddy could watch it from prison.

It was a truly shocking watch for hip/hop fans and those who followed Diddy’s sex trafficking trial, which took place earlier this year, where the disgraced music mogul, 56, was found guilty on two counts of “transportation to engage in prostitution.”
Diddy was sentenced to four years and two months in federal prison and was ordered to pay a $500,000 fine. According to the documentary, former Crips member Duane ‘Keefe D’ Davis claims that Diddy offered $1 million to Crips members to kill Tupac and his associate Suge Knight — a claim presented as evidence in a proffer testimony.

The docuseries also displays “never-before-seen footage” around the time of Biggie’s death, seemingly implying that Diddy’s decision-making may have had a role in the circumstances that led to Biggie’s 1997 murder.
Some accusers also alleged that the Bad Boy Records founder abused positions of power to manipulate or force men and women into sexual situations at parties, sometimes under threat or in states of incapacitation.
Although the rapper was acquitted of racketeering and sex‑trafficking by a jury in New York in July, and has always denied involvement in Tupac’s death.
Now, fans have been speculating over the main reason 50 gave ABC the scoop about the doc, with many wondering if it was so Diddy could watch the channel from prison — and the Emmy-winning actor and producer had something to say about this on social media.

50 responded to the rumors on Instagram in a post shared with his 36.4 million followers on December 7, along with a screenshot of the ABC interview. “I thought about it – what’s wrong with that?” he admitted.
The confession prompted a wave of reaction from fans, with one user joking, “50 Cent makes me realize that I’m not hating people, to my full potential.”
As a second pointed out, “I’m not sure what’s worse, the level of pettiness or how methodical he is,” with another stressing, “This man’s pettiness has to be studied at universities.”

“Lifelong 50 fan, but this is his best era,” someone else gushed, prompting a fourth to chime in, “The devil works hard, but 50 Cent works harder.”
A fifth user noted, “I knew there was a reason he was cheesing just a little bit harder than usual,” while a sixth added, “The type of petty that makes me go to sleep at night with a big smile on my face.”
Communal TVs are a staple in US prisons, typically found in day rooms for shared viewing, creating community but also tension, with inmates often controlling schedules or fighting over channels, while modern trends see some states offering tablets for personal entertainment, reducing issues, though access varies greatly by state and facility, with federal prisons often having stricter rules than state/private facilities.
