The context behind these tapes is especially intriguing. According to insiders, 50 Cent had been gathering intel for years, biding his time until he felt the moment was right to strike. The fallout was immediate as industry executives scrambled to distance themselves from both Ross and Diddy, fearing the ramifications of being associated with the scandal. Sources indicate that Ross, initially dismissive of the tapes as another one of 50 Cent’s jokes, was left reeling upon viewing the footage.
