50 Cent is suing his ex Daphne Joy for defamation after she accused him of rape and abuse amid the ongoing custody battle of their 12-year-old son, Sire.

According to court documents exclusively obtained by Us Weekly on Tuesday, May 7, The rapper, 48, claims that Joy, 37, “falsely and publicly” accused him of “rape and physical abuse” during their past relationship, which lasted from 2011 to 2013.

50 Cent — whose real name is Curtis Jackson — claimed Joy — whose full name is Daphne Joy Narvaez — made a “purposeful attempt to, on information and belief, destroy his personal and business reputation, harm Jackson’s commercial and business interests, negatively affect his custody case, and prevent him from seeing his minor son,” the docs continue. (Us Weekly reached out to 50 Cent and Joy’s reps for comment.)

Joy made the allegations in an Instagram post in March. At the time, 50 Cent denied the “false and baseless accusations” in a statement to Us.

In the court documents, filed on Monday, May 6, the musician claimed he has been “subjected to extensive public ridicule, hatred, and contempt” following Joy’s public allegations.

50 Cent is looking to “vindicate his rights and protect his reputation” from Joy’s “calculated attack.” The rapper is also seeking punitive and exemplary damages for “severe harm” caused by Joy’s “false and defamatory statements.”
