Today 50 turns the big 4-0.

Diddy did that about five years ago, and he greeted Fif's big day with a message of love and Ciroc.

Given that 50's been attacking Puff at every opportunity forever, we do detect a bit of sarcasm in Diddy's overly flowery message.

But those are still kind words. And Combs has got to be happy that he's not going to get hit with a felony in the UCLA case. This means his ability to be associated with booze won't be jeopardized, and his vodka rivalry with Fif can continue as they both navigate their 40s.
