Beyond Fame
Daphne Joy is infamous for her dating history and has been linked to a number of celebrities throughout the years. One of her earliest hook-ups was with much older Finnish-Canadian businessman Peter J. Nygård, even though the details of their relationship are unknown. In 2011, she briefly dated American actor Tyrese Gibson. Soon after, she started dating rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III. It was one of her longest relationships, which lasted for over one and half years. She even had a child with the rapper, named Sire Jackson, who was born in 2013. Their relationship took an unexpected turn when she accused him of domestic assault. He allegedly physically abused her, breaking into her Toluca Lake condo on June 23, 2013, and also destroyed property worth $7,100 before he left. Police charged him with one count of domestic violence and four counts of vandalism. The domestic violence charges were later dropped after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vandalism. Things have since then changed for better for the couple apparently; the rapper, who initially didn't even acknowledged having a child with her, recently promoted her swimsuit line on Twitter, calling her the mother of his baby and sparking rumors of them reuniting. In the meantime, Daphne, who dated singer Jason Derulo from November 2015 to May 2016, decided to break up with him on amicable terms. She also reportedly dated reality TV star Rob Kardashian for a short period of time in late 2013.
