50 Cent allegedly enlisted Misa Hylton to extract personal details about Diddy during a tense music business standoff, according to new claims from his ex, Shaniqua Tompkins.
During a recent Instagram Live, Tompkins accused the Hip-Hop mogul of hiring Hylton—Diddy’s former partner and a respected stylist—not for fashion advice but to gather intel.
Tompkins said the alleged scheme began after 50 Cent attempted to sign rapper Mase, who was under Diddy’s Bad Boy label.
When Diddy reportedly demanded $2 million, 50 Cent allegedly pivoted to a more personal strategy.
“So he decided, I’m going to hire his baby mother [Misa], bring her in to sleep with her to get information on Puffy. She came in the gate talking about Puffy, talking about how he was abusive,” Tompkins said.
Hylton has never directly accused Diddy of abuse, but she has made public statements that suggest she endured trauma.
After CNN released a 2016 surveillance video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie Ventura at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, Hylton posted a statement of support for Cassie.
“I am heartbroken that Cassie must relive the horror of her abuse, and my heart goes out to her. I know exactly how she feels, and through my empathy, it has triggered my own trauma,” Misa said.
Tompkins, the mother of 50 Cent’s eldest son, Marquise, also accused the rapper of physical and emotional abuse during their relationship.
“He hit me while I was pregnant with Marquise. Belly was out to here,” she said. “I mean—he still is abusive. It’s not in the press, but he’s abusive. Emotionally, physically, he’s abusive.”
