50 Cent and Daphne share a 12-year-old son named Sire. Back in March, 50 filed for custody of Sire and clowned Daphne after she was named as one of Diddy's sex workers in a lawsuit filed against the mogul by producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones. Daphne responded by posting a lengthy note on Instagram accusing the G-Unit boss of rape. 50 denied the claims.
"The disturbing allegations in the sworn pleadings recently filed in a court case related to Daphne Joy the mother of my twelve year old child, has required me to take all necessary legal actions to protect my son Sire," he said in a statement. "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."
He retaliated by filing a defamation lawsuit. Now, it appears he is no longer interested in taking court action.
