50 Cent didn’t waste any time chiming in about the United States’ arrest of Venezuela’s president, as the G-Unit mogul posted a political cartoon of what appears to be Nicolás Maduro bunked with Diddy in jail.
50 took to Instagram on Monday (Jan. 5) to share a cartoon featuring a man who looks like Maduro and Diddy cuddled up in a jail cell, with the disgraced Bad Boy CEO braiding the politician’s hair and saying, “They took my oil too,” in reference to the surplus of baby oil seized at Diddy’s homes by federal agents.
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen, may today be productive and prosperous towards you and your goals,” 50 captioned the post. “Make your enemies watch your progress repeatedly.”
Followers had a laugh in the comments section at the audacity of the Queens legend. “50 did it before South Park could,” one person wrote.
Another chimed in: “Idk what’s funnier, the braids or the they took my oil.”
The U.S. military carried out a mission to arrest Maduro and his wife, Cilia, in Venezuela on Saturday (Jan. 3), and brought the couple to New York, where the deposed politician faces federal narco-terrorism charges. He pleaded not guilty on Monday (Jan. 5). “I am not guilty. I am a decent man, the president of my country,” Maduro told a federal judge in Manhattan, according to the Associated Press.
The connection to Diddy came with Maduro being housed at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which is the facility where Combs was held before being transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey following his sentencing. UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s alleged murderer, Luigi Mangione, is also one of the notable inmates currently held at MDC.
50 Cent released Sean Combs: The Reckoning in December, with the explosive Netflix docuseries further exploring Diddy’s federal case and history of alleged abusive behavior. Combs was sentenced to behind bars on prostitution charges, but dodged harsher charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
