Never one to back down from a beef, 50 Cent has responded to the subliminal diss that Diddy may have sent his way after the BET Awards. The G-Unit leader didn’t mince words and outright called the fellow music mogul “a b*tch.”

“Diddy, well, the thing about it is, Puffy’s like a b*tch,” said 50 during an interview on G-Unit Radio. “To describe Puffy in one word is a ‘b*tch.’ Right? Puffy wants to be the hot b*tch in the group.”

“You know how you see a hot b*tch — I know it sounds kinda harsh but I’ll explain my statement,” continued Fif. “You know how an ugly b*tch always has pretty friends?  That’s how he’s built his group. He wants to be the hot b*tch in the group. He wants to make sure he gets all the attention. He wants to make sure the n*ggas wanna holla at him.”

50 went on to say that he hasn’t even really started in on Diddy yet because he isn’t sure if the diss was directed at him.

“It’s not even open season on Diddy, I don’t know who he was talking about, he didn’t say my name.”

Fif has been sending shots in Diddy’s direction for a while now and rumors suggest that the reason behind it is Diddy’s new alliance with Fif’s foe Rick Ross.

In other news, the Queens rapper recently debunked a report by a Capitol Records executive that said he had signed with Capitol after deciding to part ways with Interscope.  According to 50, nothing has been worked out and his first option is to say with the label that brought him so much success.
