50 Cent reacted to Jay-Z accusations by making a joke about the Super Bowl — here's why

• Rapper Jay-Z has been accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old with Sean "Diddy" Combs.
• 50 Cent appeared to react to the news by posting a photo from his appearance in HBO's "Entourage."
• Here's what his joke about the Super Bowl means.

50 Cent reacted to the accusations that Jay-Z sexually assaulted a 13-year-old with Sean "Diddy" Combs by posting a joke about the Super Bowl.

On Sunday, Jay-Z (real name Shawn Carter) was named in a civil suit that accused him of raping a 13-year-old girl with Combs in 2000 after the MTV Video Music Awards in New York.

Both rappers denied the allegations, and Carter called the allegations "heinous" in a statement posted on the X account of his company Roc Nation.

50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was quick to react with a jab at Combs following their 20-year feud.

Jackson posted a photo on Instagram on Sunday that appeared to be a reference to the situation. The picture was of 50 Cent's appearance in "Entourage" season six, when he pulls up next to Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and insults his car before driving off in a scene that became an instant meme.

In the caption 50 Cent wrote: "Ok I don't know what's going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl. I'm just asking for a friend!"

The Super Bowl reference reflects the role Roc Nation often plays in organizing the halftime show at the yearly NFL championship and implies that the allegations could affect the arrangement.

In October, Bloomberg reported that Roc Nation had extended its partnership with the NFL, and that Carter will continue to produce the halftime show.

50 Cent's post is his latest joke about allegations relating to Combs. The "Power" actor first started taunting Combs about the allegations in November 2023 when Cassie Ventura, Combs' ex-girlfriend, filed a lawsuit against him for rape, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

Since then, 50 Cent confirmed that he's producing a documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Combs, with profits going to victims of sexual assault.
