50 Cent’s Lawyer Claims Daphne Joy’s Accusations Are Tied to Her ‘Loyalty’ to Diddy

50 Cent’s lawyer claims Daphne Joy Narvaez’s rape accusations are tied to her “loyalty” to Sean “Diddy” Combs.

“Despite being given ample opportunity to retract a false and malicious retaliatory accusation, Ms. Narvaez has shamefully chosen to interfere with her 11-year-old son’s relationship with his loving father by falsely calling him a ‘rapist,’” the rapper’s lawyer, Reena Jain, told Us Weekly in a statement on Monday, May 6, referring to 50 Cent (real name Curtis James Jackson III) and Narvaez’s son Sire, whom they have continued to coparent since their split in 2013.

Jain’s statement comes hours after Us broke the news that 50 Cent is suing Narvaez for defamation. In court docs obtained by Us, 50 Cent claims she “falsely and publicly” accused him of “rape and physical abuse” during their relationship. (The pair were together from 2011 to 2013.)

50 Cent alleged that Narvaez made a “purposeful attempt to, on information and belief, destroy his personal and business reputation, harm Jackson’s commercial and business interests, negatively affect his custody case, and prevent him from seeing his minor son,” the docs filed on Monday state.

After Narvaez made the allegations in March via Instagram, 50 Cent denied the “false and baseless accusations” in a statement to Us — and subsequently claimed in the court docs that he’s been “subjected to extensive public ridicule, hatred and contempt.”

50 Cent is looking to “vindicate his rights and protect his reputation” from Narvaez’s “calculated attack,” while also seeking punitive and exemplary damages for the “severe harm” caused by her “false and defamatory statements
