Daphne Joy posts twerking video days after saying leaked Diddy tape was filmed without her consent and 50 Cent called her “a willing participant” [VIDEO]
Daphne Joy Dances to Drake’s ‘Amazing Shape’ as Critics Accuse Her of Capitalizing on Diddy Leak
Daphne Joy posted a 23-second twerking video on Instagram days after releasing a statement saying her leaked sex tape with Sean “Diddy” Combs was filmed without her consent. The clip, set to Drake’s “Amazing Shape” featuring Popcaan, shows her dancing from behind in a form-fitting dark midi dress with a side slit. She wears heels and sunglasses. Her hair sways as she bends and moves her hips.
The video was reposted on X by @baddietvv this afternoon with the caption: “Ever since Daphne Joy and Diddy’s tape leaked, she’s been having a ball.” The post has over 4.8 million views, 22,000 likes, and 1,500 replies.
Joy had previously posted a statement on Instagram claiming the leaked tape was filmed without her consent. She said she was blackmailed by the male participant, adult performer Sly Diggler, who allegedly demanded a lump sum of money under threat of releasing the footage. She said she nearly paid but did not, and the tape was then sold to a media outlet. The outlet declined to publish after determining it involved revenge porn and an extortion scheme. The statement was later deleted.
The video does not reference the leak. It is a dance video.
The Dance Video Went Viral for Its Timing
The clip was originally posted on Daphne Joy’s Instagram Reels. It shows her from behind as she bends, squats, and twerks in a well-lit indoor setting. The dress is tight. The heels are high. The music is upbeat. There is no spoken message.
The timing of the post — days after the leak and her victim statement — has drawn significant criticism. Many users interpreted the video as Joy capitalizing on the increased attention rather than taking time to process or address the alleged trauma.
One user wrote: “She wasn’t […] like this in that video tho. Very lack luster.” Another posted: “50 Cent told y’all she wasn’t a victim and she out here proving the point in 4K.” A third commented: “[…] be using this opportunity to promote her sex business.”
Some users defended Joy. “She’s a sex worker, why not let her market her work,” one user wrote. Another posted: “It’s called coping mechanism.” But these comments were outnumbered by criticism.
50 Cent Has Repeatedly Said She Is Not a Victim
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, the father of Daphne Joy’s son Sire, has been vocal since the leak. He posted on Instagram: “She’s not a victim, SIRE is. Can you imagine going to eighth grade to find out this is your mom.”
He has also criticized the Los Angeles court system regarding custody arrangements. At a June screening for his Netflix documentary “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” he stated there had been “no intimacy for 12 years” and remarked, “She could be out back with a dog for all I care.” He expressed regret at not including her perspective in the documentary. Additionally, 50 described her as “the only person who was not a victim” in Diddy’s “freak-off” sessions.
He also said: “When we think of women, we go empowerment for women, but let’s not forget that there’s some hoes… and predators. So there are people who are there who are looking for those things.”
His comments have been widely shared and cited by users criticizing Joy’s post-leak behavior.
Daphne Has Not Responded to the Criticism
As of press time, Daphne Joy has not publicly responded to the backlash over her dance video. She has not addressed the inconsistency between her victim statement and her social media activity. She has not posted a follow-up statement.
Her Instagram page remains active. She has posted other content since the leak. This includes sultry photos and promotional material. She has not disabled comments.
The dance video is still up. The views are still climbing. The comments are still coming.
Sly Diggler, the adult performer in the leaked tape, has not commented on Joy’s post. Diddy is incarcerated and has not responded. The media outlet that allegedly declined to publish the tape has not been named.
The Leak Has Reignited the 50 Cent-Diddy Feud
The leaked tape is the latest chapter in the long-running public feud between 50 Cent and Diddy. 50 Cent has used the situation to troll both Diddy and Daphne Joy. He has posted memes, comments, and screenshots.
Joy’s name had previously surfaced in Diddy-related legal filings. The tape’s circulation has added fuel to ongoing debates about consent, blackmail, and victimhood in the entertainment industry.
DJ Vlad authenticated the tape as real. He cited his December 2025 interview with Diggler, in which the adult performer described the encounter. Vlad said he viewed clips and screenshots at that time and that the leaked material matched those details.
The full video has not been released to mainstream media. Short clips continue to circulate on social media.
Sire Jackson Is in Eighth Grade
Daphne Joy and 50 Cent’s son, Sire, is 13 years old. He is in eighth grade.
50 Cent has repeatedly raised concerns about the impact of the leak on his son. “Can you imagine going to eighth grade to find out this is your mom,” he wrote.
Joy has not addressed her son’s potential exposure to the footage. She has not discussed whether she has spoken to him about the leak. Her recent social media activity has focused on her own image and promotion.
The dance video does not reference her son. It does not address his well-being, nor does it acknowledge the situation at all.
The Video Stands Alone
The video clip is not a response. Daphne Joy simply posted a video where she showed herself off twerking.
Joy does not speak. Her back is facing the camera for most of the video, so she does not address the camera. She does not mention the leak, the blackmail, or the media outlet. She dances.
The timing is what made it viral. The contrast between her statement — “I was not and was never in my right mind throughout the entirety of that relationship” — and her social media activity is stark.
She said she was a victim. Then she twerked.
The internet noticed, commented, and decided.
