50 Cent has broken his silence over sexual abuse allegations from his ex Daphne Joy.
The In Da Club rapper's ex had accused him of rape and physical abuse, as well as neglecting his parental duties to their son, Sire, in a lengthy Instagram post.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has now denied all of Daphne's claims.
“The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy, the mother of my 12-year-old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire,” the 48-year-old rapper said in a statement to Us Weekly.
“The most recent false and baseless accusations by Daphne Joy are clearly in response to my decision to seek sole custody of my son.
"My son Sire is my main priority and keeping him in a safe environment is my only focus at this time.”
Joy, 37, had posted the accusations after Jackson applied for sole custody of their son, following Joy's alleged involvement as a sex worker in a sex trafficking lawsuit currently active against Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Joy has denied those allegations.
“The claim that I am a sex worker is 100% false and character assassination,” Joy wrote via Instagram.
“I am retaining an attorney to explore all legal remedies.”
