After Daphne Joy accused 50 Cent of raping and physically torturing her, the rapper filed a defamation case against her.
The “In da Club” rapper asserts in a complaint obtained by Page Six that the model only accused him of assaulting her because he sought sole custody of their 11-year-old son, Sire, following her identification as an alleged đâŻđ worker of Sean “Diddy” Combs’.
The 50-year-old, real name Curtis Jackson, claims in the lawsuit that Joy’s Instagram post has received over 22,000 likes, harming his professional reputation, escalating the child custody dispute, and drawing hate mail from the internet.

Page Six has reached out to Joy for comment but did not immediately hear back.
In a statement to Page Six, 50âs counsel, Reena Jain, said: âDespite being given ample opportunity to retract a false and malicious retaliatory accusation, Ms. Narvaez has shamefully chosen to interfere with her 11-year-old sonâs relationship with his loving father by falsely calling him a ârapist.â
âThe motivation behind this appears to be Ms. Narvaezâs unfortunate entanglement and misguided loyalty to Mr. Combs, who we believe to be underwriting this attack and whom Mr. Jackson has been warning Ms. Narvaez and others about for many years.â
