Dahpne Joy may not be a household name, but she’s an important figure in the lives of some of hip hop’s biggest stars. And her involvement with Diddy is currently attracting a lot of unwanted attention.
As you’ve no doubt heard, Diddy is under investigation by federal authorities following a series of allegations from former associates.
His trouble started when R&B singer Cassie took legal action claiming that the legendary hip hop mogul repeatedly abused her during their romantic relationship.
Shortly thereafter, a former employee named Roland Jones sued Diddy for sexual assault.

Diddy’s Mounting Legal Troubles
Diddy is now accused of human trafficking and two of his properties were raided by the Department of Homeland Security on Monday.
There were initially rumors that Diddy was running away authorities and fled to Antigua in his private jet.
But now we know that the rapper was intercepted at a Miami airport and is still in the USA.

Who is Daphne Joy and what are her connections to Diddy?
Jones’ lawsuit accuses Diddy of trafficking several women, including an alleged sex worker named Daphne Joy.
Joy may already be familiar to some hip hop fans as 50 Cent’s ex-girlfriend and mother of the rapper’s 12-year-old son, Sire.

50 has been stalking Diddy for weeks, even offering to finance a documentary about his rival’s legal troubles.
“Now it’s not Diddy that does this, it’s Diddy, they don’t come like that unless they’re having an affair”, 50 tweeted after Diddy’s houses were broken into.
Diddy, of course, has been speaking through his lawyers, who have recently criticized Jones as a shameless opportunist.

“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit, shamelessly seeking an undeserved payout,” said Diddy’s attorney, Shawn Holley.
“Your reckless mention of events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to grab headlines,” Holley continued, adding:
“We have overwhelming and indisputable evidence that your claims are complete lies. We will address these bizarre allegations in court and take all appropriate action against those who make them.”
