50 Cent on 2015 Clip of Diddy Saying He Wants to Be Friends: 'Stay Over There, Playboy'

With another new year now fully in swing, we return to coverage surrounding 50 Cent’s propensity for Instagram-delivered mockery.

On Wednesday night, Fif shared his take on archival Diddy footage, this time focused on a throwback interview clip in which the currently incarcerated Bad Boy Records founder lamented the two’s nonexistent friendship.

“Me and him could be friends but he doesn’t wanna be my friend,” Diddy, whose trafficking and racketeering trial is set to start this May, says in the clip. “I wanna be his friend so I can teach him everything I know so he could become a better money-getter, since I’m the No. 1 money-getter in the world. … Yo, 50. Please be my friend. 50, you’re breaking my heart. Curtis, please be my friend. Please.”

The edited clip of Diddy stems from a nearly decade-old 99 JAMZ YouTube video, a longer version of which can be found below.

When sharing the clip on Wednesday, Fif, as is customary on his IG, used the opportunity to promote his Branson Cognac and Le Chemin du Roi brands.

“Nah something ain’t right,” he wrote in the caption. “Stay over there, playboy. LOL.”

Diddy was a frequent subset of Fif’s oft-headlined social media activity last year, as we explored at length in this rundown chronicling highlights from across 12 months of Fifdom. 2024 began with a vow of sexlessness, before the recent Vegas performer turned his attention to another frequent target of his ire, Ja Rule. J. Cole, Drake, Luigi Mangione, and the present-day price of ice cream also provided fodder for 50’s Instagrammery.

A 50-produced documentary on Diddy is expected to hit Netflix at some point in the near future, though a release date hasn’t yet been publicly announced. This week, news broke that Diddy had filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit naming NewsNation and others.
