Daphne Joy Plans Legal Action Against Diddy Accuser Over Sex Worker Claims
Daphne Joy, former partner of 50 Cent and mother of his son Sire, strongly denies allegations made in Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs that labeled her as a paid sex worker. Following federal raids on Combs' properties, Joy has announced plans to pursue legal action against both Jones and his attorney for defamation.
"I am deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones' lawsuit," Joy stated on Instagram. "The claim that I am a sex worker is 100% false and character assassination. I am retaining an attorney to explore all legal remedies."

The situation escalated when 50 Cent (Curtis James Jackson) made public jokes about the Diddy lawsuits. Joy responded by revealing she and their son relocated to New York to be closer to Jackson, while also alleging past abuse. She expressed concern for their safety and criticized Jackson's response to the situation.
Jones' lawsuit, filed in February and recently amended to include actor Cuba Gooding Jr., claims Combs maintained several women on monthly stipends through his Love Records imprint. The legal document specifically mentions Joy among these allegations, which she vehemently denies.
