50 Cent Defends Being Vocal About Diddy’s Alleged Abuse and Parties: 'What I've Been Saying for 10 Years' (Exclusive)

50 Cent defends using his voice to call out Sean “Diddy” Combs over the years.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the “21 Questions” rapper, 49, talks about Combs, 54, and his alleged behavior before he was arrested Sept. 17, a day after he was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation for prostitution in a hotel in Manhattan. (Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges.)

Speaking about how Combs’ life would be mocked during concerts and on social media before the star’s recent legal troubles, 50 Cent says: “Look, it seems like I’m doing some really outrageous things, but I’m not. Actually I’m just saying what I’ve been saying for 10 years.”

He adds, “It’s getting more and more in the news now with the Puffy stuff, but beyond that, I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s just my perspective because I’ve stayed away from that stuff the whole time, because it’s not my style.’ ”

A rep for Combs declined to comment on 50 Cent’s comments about the Bad Boys mogul when contacted by PEOPLE.

After Combs’ arrest, it was announced that 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, was filming a documentary about the allegations against the disgraced star.

“This is a story with significant human impact. It’s a complex story that spans decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent (for G-Unit Film & Television) and director Alexandria Stapleton (for House of Nonfiction) said in a statement to PEOPLE. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives,” it continued. “While the allegations are disturbing, we urge everyone to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the wider contributions of culture.”
