50 Cent trolled Sean "Diddy" Combs throughout the rap mogul's trial by referencing pieces of witness testimony on Instagram.

The rapper is going to celebrate his milestone birthday on Sunday after facing a huge disappointment caused by the jury's decision to clear Diddy of some serious charges.

50 Cent has also pursued a career as an actor in the semi-autobiographical film about his life, "Get Rich or Die Tryin", named after his debut album, as well as in “Home of the Brave” alongside actors Samuel L. Jackson and Jessica Biel.
