50 Cent is defending Bill Cosby over a new sexual assault lawsuit. On Thursday (June 1), the Power creator took to Instagram to respond to the allegations. 50 reacted to a news headline that read: “Former Playboy Model Accuses Bill Cosby Of Drugging And Sexually Assaulting Her in 1969.”

“They are just doing Bill dirty,” he wrote in the caption. “Smh ain’t no way 54 years ago. Lmao this is just f—– up Brody!”

Victoria Valentino, 80, is suing Cosby, 85, for an alleged sexual assault that happened 54 years ago according to The Guardian. Before the alleged assault, Cosby spotted Valentino crying in a Los Angeles café over the drowning death of her six-year-old son.

The former model claims that Cosby offered to pay for a spa treatment for her and a friend. They were then chauffeured to dinner. Valentino claims that Cosby gave them each a pill during the dinner, she said in the court filing.

“Here! Take this!” the lawsuit alleges Cosby said to them. “It will make you feel better. It will make us ALL feel better.”

According to the lawsuit, Cosby drove the women back to his house, were Valentino woke up and witnessed him sexually assaulting her friend, who has not been named. The court documents allege Cosby then “engaged in forced sexual intercourse” with Valentino while she was debilitated from the drug.

In a press release posted online by Valentino’s attorney, the former Playboy model spoke on why she chose to speak on the incident.

“The trauma he inflicted upon me affects not only me, but my children and grandchildren,” she said. “By breaking my silence and speaking my truth, I hope this serves as my legacy to my family, and shows those survivors who have yet to find their voices, that hope and healing are possible.”

This is not the first time 50 has defended Cosby. Back in 2021, when Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned his sexual assault conviction, and he was released from prison, 50 spoke up for him.

“My son Bill beat that case,” he wrote in a post at the time. “These hoe’s be tripping.”

The former Cosby Show star has been accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment by at least 60 women. He has denied all allegations involving sex crimes.

10 of 50 Cent's Feuds With Other Celebrities Ranked

• 10. Kanye West

  Share

  Ye and 50's feud happened in 2007 when they both came out with their albums 'Graduation' and 'Curtis,' respectively, on the same day. 50 was so certain that he would outsell West that he said he would retire from music if Ye beat him in album sales. "Let's raise the stakes… If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music," Fiddy told hip-hop site SOHH.com. "I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums." West went on to sell 957,000 copies in the first week compared to his 691,000. However, 50 didn't retire from the industry as promised.

• 9. Fat Joe

  Share

  Fat Joe and 50's beef began after 50 was upset that Joe and Ja Rule collabed on the song "New York" in 2004. 50 fired back at Joe in the song "Piggy Bank" which dropped the following year. However, they decided to squash their beef in 2012 when their hip-hop manager and Violator co-founder Chris Lighty died. They performed at the BET Awards that year in honor of their well-respected manager and friend.

• 8. Oprah

  Share

  50 and Oprah's beef is odd, to say the least.  Back in 2015, the "In da Club" rapper tweeted: "I got a dog named Oprah and a cat named Gayle. LMAO." Oprah later commented that she was offended and did not take it as a compliment. However, the one-sided feud did not start there. 50 wanted to make an appearance on her daytime talk show 'Oprah' to promote his debut album 'Get Rich or Die Tryin’ back in 2003. Oprah declined to have him as a guest citing “the gun violence and misogyny in his lyrics” per the Independent. “She was completely against everything that was in my music,” he explained. “So she ain’t never going to have me on that show. I’m never going to reach that platform, which is confirmation of you being a huge success. So I just said: OK, if we can’t be friends, then at least let’s be enemies.”They later squashed it on Oprah's Next Chapter in 2012 but 50 claims to still have his dog and cat named after Oprah and her best friend Gayle King during their feud.
• 7. Madonna

  Share

  50 Cent poked fun at Madonna photoshopping a photo of the singer underneath a house like the Wicked Witch of the East from The Wizard of Oz. Madonna responded: "Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend," she wrote alongside a throwback photo of the two together. "Now you have decided to talk smack about me!"She added: "I guess your new career is getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media. The least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult. You are just jealous you won't look as good as me or have as much fun when you are my age."After Madonna's response 50 tweeted his apology to the "Like A Virgin" singer: "I must have hurt Madonna feelings, she went and dug up a old MTV photo from 03. ok Im sorry i did not intend to hurt your feelings. I don't benefit from this in anyway. i said what i thought when i saw the picture because of where i had seen it before i hope you accept my apology."

• 6. Ashanti

  Share

  50 made fun of Ashanti after her ticket sales started slipping back in 2018 and allegedly forced her to cancel one concert. "Do basement parties then it can still feel like it's lit. I don't know what to say. LOL," the rapper said on Instagram at the time. Ashanti later responded to 50 and clarified why the concert was actually canceled per TMZ: "Officer Curtis better cut it out. The school put out a statement to clarify it was a lack of promotion… Curtis is definitely a bully."

• 5. Vivica A. Fox

  Share

  As you might already know, Vivica and 50 used to date back in 2003. The 'Set It Off' actress reportedly made comments about their past relationship referring it to as "ghetto love" and made comments that 50 was gay, per People. 50 did not take too kindly to Fox's remarks and responded, "Public service announcement stay away from the blue ones," the rapper wrote on Instagram referring to the blue pills from 'The Matrix.'
• 4. Rick Ross

  Share

  50 was mad at Rick Ross for associating with Fat Joe and MTV News reported that he even "warned" him to stay away from Joe in 2008. In 2009, Ross came for 50 in his song "Mafia Music" as he referenced the house fire where 50's ex Shaniqua Tompkins lived with his son Marquise Jackson. 50 fired back with the song "Officer Ricky" which made fun of Ross' past as a corrections officer. Additionally, 50 leaked a sex tape of Lastonia Leviston, who has a child with Ross, added his own commentary, and uploaded the video to the internet in 2008.  Leviston sued 50 for exploiting her and won $5 million per the Independent.

• 3. Will Smith

  Share

  After Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith got very honest about their relationship on a 2020 episode of The Red Table Talk which she hosts alongside her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris and her daughter Willow Smith, 50 decided to chime in with his own opinion. Jada opened up about her "entanglement" with singer August Alsina which prompted 50 to ask 'The Fresh Prince' star, "But why she tell you that s--- on a show for everybody to see?" To which, Will explained, "We broke up so she did her and I did me." 50 took it up a notch and replied, "Then she said only SHE can give permission for somebody to blow her back out," which elicited a blunt "F--- you 50." The feud has seemed to simmer down for now but when do we ever know with 50?

• 2. Floyd Mayweather

  Share

  50 and Floyd were once close; close enough, in fact, to start a business together, The Money Team Promotions. The business is no longer in operation due to the fact that 50 suggested his boxing pal was getting distant. The two began subtweeting each other on Twitter as Floyd wrote in 2012, "A male boxing groupie.. hold my belts because your album sales have declined." 50 fired back, "I can't hang out with Floyd no more, I'm tired of running from manny pacquiao," replied 50, referring to Mayweather's greatest boxing rival. Since then, the two have been at odds. Most notably, 50 routinely made fun of Floyd's reading ability. "Don't tell him I said this, I know he can't read this s--- LOL," the rapper tweeted in July.
• 1. Ja Rule

  Share

  Ja Rule's and 50's beef started over 20 years ago when 50 Cent claimed he was stabbed by the brothers who founded Ja Rule's record company Murder Inc. The brothers were later cleared of all charges but their feud has them going back and forth over social media still till this day.
