50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend after she accused him of rape online.The defamation case was issued by the rapper against Daphne Joy Narvaez, after the model, entrepreneur and mother of his 11-year-old son accused him of rape on Instagram in March.The two were in a relationship between 2011 and 2013 and, in his recent filing, 50 Cent claims that Narvaez “retaliated” against him and shared “false” rape allegations after discovering that he was planning to seek sole custody of their son.According to reports by Rolling Stone, the rapper decided to file for sole custody in a bid to “protect the interests of his minor child”.

It came after he learned of the high-profile lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, which alleged that Narvaez was a “sex worker” employed by Combs.In response to the accusations by Combs, she shared a post on Instagram reading: “I am deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit.

The claim that I am a sex worker is 100 per cent false and character assassination”.She also added that she had hired an attorney “to explore all legal remedies” against both Rodney and his attorney.A post shared by Daphne Joy (@daphnejoy)A post shared by Daphne Joy (@daphnejoy)After news of the lawsuit against Combs emerged, 50 Cent – whose real name is Curtis Jackson – seemingly began commenting about the situation online.

This included sharing a comment reading: “I didn’t know you was a sex worker, you little sex worker”, which many interpreted as being a joke aimed at Narvaez.The next day, Narvaez shared an update saying that Jackson’s “joke” posed a risk to her safety.
