Rapper 50 Cent has responded to rumors about Sean 'Diddy' Combs 'spooning' a male music producer.
The speculation began when social media star Josh Ostrovsky claimed that he saw Diddy 'hooking up' with another man at a party in Miami.
He made the claims back in 2015, but recently spoke about the incident again in a recent episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast.

Ostrovsky said he has walked into a room he 'shouldn't have' and asked if it was the bathroom.
“I walked in a room I shouldn’t have walked into, and I saw him hooking up with a dude,” he said.
"Basically, like, full spooning situation.
"Everyone in the room stopped. I was like, ‘Is this the bathroom?”
Apparently, he was told: “This is a room where male celebrities hook up.”
Ostrovsky claimed that Diddy's team asked him to say he was joking about the incident.
Earlier this week, 50 Cent weighed in on the comments, sharing a clip from the podcast on his Instagram account.
“Don’t feel bad I told them something wasn’t right,” he captioned the since-deleted post. “They just couldn’t see it till now. The Diddler in full Effect.”
UNILAD has reached out to Diddy and 50 Cent for a comment.
Earlier this month, CCTV footage dated as being from March 5, 2016 was shared by CNN showing Diddy physically assaulting Cassie Ventura in the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles.
Diddy later took to Instagram to apologise for his actions in the video.
He said: "So difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you got to do that. I was f**ked up.
"I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I'm disgusted.
"I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.
"Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I am committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness, I'm truly sorry."
And Ventura has since spoken out too.
The post reads: "Thank you for all of the love and support from my family, friends, strangers and those I have yet to meet. The outpouring of love has created a place for my younger self to settle and feel safe now, but this is only the beginning.
"Domestic Violence is THE issue. It broke me down to someone I never thought I would become. With a lot of hard work, I am better today, but I will always be recovering from my past.
"Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to take this matter seriously. My only ask is that EVERYONE open your heart to believing victims the first time. It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in.
"I offer my hand to those that are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don't cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone. This healing journey is never ending, but this support means everything to me. Thank you. Love Always, Cassie."
