After allegations of online harassment, a Florida judge granted 50 Cent's request for temporary protection for his son.

The argument between 50 Cent and Tia Kemp has moved outside of Instagram, and a Florida judge has now restricted Kemp's contact with the rapper's teenage son. What started as a nasty exchange over their respective children has led to a temporary protective order that also prevents Kemp from approaching 14-year-old Sire in person.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a Miami-Dade County judge granted the temporary injunction on Monday (Oct. 26). Kemp must remain at least 500 feet away from Sire and cannot contact him directly or indirectly, including through social media. The order also prohibits her from possessing firearms or ammunition and requires her to surrender any weapons in her possession to law enforcement upon being served.

The ruling follows 50's petition alleging that Kemp repeatedly targeted his son online during their increasingly personal dispute. His attorneys accused her of making derogatory claims about Sire's developmental health and sharing an image of him alongside sexually explicit material allegedly involving his mother, Daphne Joy. Those allegations formed the basis of his request for protection.

50 Cent And Tia Kemp's Feud Heads To Court

The disagreement erupted after 50 mocked the alleged pistol-whipping of William Roberts III, Kemp's 21-year-old son with Rick Ross. He also publicly offered legal assistance to the man accused of attacking William. This prompted Kemp to lash out at the rapper and eventually bring Sire into their exchanges.

Before seeking court intervention, 50's attorneys reportedly sent Kemp a cease-and-desist letter demanding that she remove the posts. According to his filing, she responded by sharing part of the notice online with a profanity-laced caption. Kemp has accused 50 of instigating their confrontation and attempting to intimidate her with legal threats.

On Tuesday, 50 shared an Instagram photo with Sire and condemned online harassment of children. "It's not ok to bully minors on line, kids have killed them selves over things people have said about them," he wrote, before warning Kemp that her "gangster granny act" wouldn't work.

The Florida injunction is separate from a federal lawsuit filed in California, in which 50 is seeking at least $6 million in damages over Kemp's alleged statements about Sire. That case includes defamation and invasion-of-privacy claims. The immediate question is whether the restrictions protecting Sire will remain in place. The temporary order expires Nov. 3, when both sides are scheduled to return to court. A judge will then consider whether to extend the injunction beyond that date.
