Must Read



50 Cent can’t help himself.

The “In da Club” rapper, 49, went after Jay-Z on Instagram Monday when the Roc Nation founder, 55, went to the “Mufasa: The Lion King” premiere after being accused of raping a 13-year-old girl over 20 years ago.

Jay-Z — whose real name is Shawn Carter — smiled on the red carpet alongside his wife Beyoncé, 43, their daughter Blue Ivy, 12, and his mother-in-law Tina Knowles, 70.

50 Cent shared pictures of the famous family at the event on Instagram, writing, “Jay said they said I rapped [sic] a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mufasa LOL.”

He has since deleted the post.

Over the years, 50 Cent has notoriously trolled Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is named in the rape lawsuit alongside Jay-Z.

50 Cent is even making a Netflix documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Combs, 55, who was arrested in Sept. on federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.

Jay-Z seemed unbothered by the child rape allegation at the premiere for the Disney movie on Monday night. Beyoncé and Blue are featured in the film (out Dec. 20) as the voices of Nala and lioness cub Kiara, respectively.

Sources with direct knowledge told The Post that before the allegations, it was rumored that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were not planning to attend the premiere; however, they appeared to have a change of heart after the lawsuit.

On Sunday, Jay-Z was named as a defendant in a lawsuit initially filed against Combs in October.

In the amended complaint filed in New York on Dec. 8, the woman — identified only as Jane Doe — claimed the rappers allegedly raped her at an afterparty following the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000 while an unnamed female celebrity watched.

Jay-Z quickly put out a statement denying the “heinous” allegations against him. He called the lawsuit a “blackmail attempt” and vowed to fight the legal battle and demanded that Jane Doe reveal her identity.

The “Empire State of Mind” singer also addressed his wife and three children, saying, “My only heartbreak is for my family.”

“My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of young people,” his statement, posted on Roc Nation’s X account (formerly Twitter), read in part.

“I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children should not have to endure such at their young age. It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit,” Jay-Z added.

Besides Blue Ivy, Jay-Z and Beyoncé are also parents to twins Rumi and Sir, 7.

Tina joined the famous couple and Blue Ivy at the “Mufasa” premiere despite “liking” a post about the allegations against her son-in-law. She later claimed that she was hacked.

Taking to social media, Beyoncé mom shared a screenshot of her notes reading, “I was hacked! As you all know I don’t play with my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me . Just know that it is not me !”

She captioned the post, “Please stop playing with me !!!! ‘No weapon formed against my family shall prosper.’”
