50 Cent sues ex-girlfriend over “defamatory” rape allegations

50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend after she accused him of rape online.

The defamation lawsuit was filed by the rapper against Daphne Joy Narvaez after the model, entrepreneur and mother of his 11-year-old son accused him of rape on Instagram in March.

The two dated between 2011 and 2013, and in his most recent filing, 50 Cent claims that Narvaez “retaliated” against him and shared “false” rape allegations after he found out he was planning to seek sole custody of their son .

According to reports from Rolling Stone, the rapper decided to seek sole custody to “protect the interests of his minor child.” This came after he learned of music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ high-profile lawsuit against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, which alleged that Narvaez was a “sex worker” employed by Combs.

After news of the lawsuit against Combs broke, 50 Cent – real name Curtis Jackson – apparently began making comments about the situation online. This included sharing a comment that read, “I didn’t know you were a sex worker, you little sex worker,” which many interpreted as a joke aimed at Narvaez.

The next day, Narvaez shared an update saying Jackson’s “joke” posed a risk to her safety. “Let’s put the real focus on your true evil deeds of raping and physically abusing me,” she wrote.

Now, in the lawsuit Jackson filed in Texas on Monday (May 6), the rapper has claimed that “Narvaez knew her statements were false” when she made the post, and yet “she knowingly made the false statements.” has published to her almost 2 people “million followers on Instagram”.

The filing also claims that she refused to remove the post “out of pure hatred and ill will toward Jackson.”

Elsewhere, it is claimed that the rapper’s legal team sent a letter to Narvaex on April 2 demanding the retraction of the post (and the allegations it made), and that she responded by saying “from Jackson “demanding millions of dollars and unspecified legal fees.” in exchange for removing the defamatory post, withdraw his custody action.”

Jackson’s lawyers responded by saying the demands had “no factual or legal basis and were clearly extortionate in nature.”

Instead of removing the post, they added: “Ms. “Narvaez shamefully chose to disrupt her 11-year-old son’s relationship with his loving father by falsely calling him a ‘rapist,'” a comment shared with said Rolling Stone.

Combs has not yet publicly responded to Narvaez’s claims against 50 Cent, although his lawyers have previously called Jones’ claims against him “pure fiction.”

This is a developing story.
