50 Cent is once again trolling Diddy, hinting that his recent ABC News interview about Sean Combs: The Reckoning may have been done specifically so the Bad Boy founder could see it from behind bars.

In an Instagram post, 50 reposted an unsourced tweet that read:

"Finding out 50 Cent agreed to do an interview with ABC news station only because it's one of the few stations they're allowed to watch in prison. He's a menace."

Fif doubled down on the joke in the caption, writing, "I thought about it, what's wrong with that?"

Despite the ongoing needling, 50 insists he has no personal vendetta against Diddy. In the interview itself, he even called Combs his "favorite villain" and clarified that the public has exaggerated their tension over the years.

"I don't know him to be tough," 50 said. "We haven't even had problems… They all say we've had beef for 20 years, but I hired both of his sons for different projects. So I don't have that energy toward him."

He added that any criticism he's voiced came only after others began raising concerns about Diddy's behavior.

"When other people pointed out those situations… then I said, 'Oh, okay.' But we never got there," said 50.

The rapper echoed similar sentiments in a GQ interview, where he denied any personal grudge, and said the docuseries wasn't part of a revenge campaign. Instead, he described himself as someone stepping up to speak when others won't.

"If someone's not saying something, then you would assume everybody in hip-hop is okay with what's going on," 50 told the magazine. He also joked that if he did have an agenda, the documentary would have looked very different: "I would've focused on the fact that you're the only man in jail for transporting male sex workers."

50 even jokingly claimed Diddy sent him flowers recently. Whether Diddy actually saw the ABC interview remains unknown. But if 50 Cent's goal was to make sure the message reached him, he's not exactly being subtle about it.
