In a bold move that’s sure to ignite heated debates across the hip-hop world, 50 Cent has taken aim at two of his longtime rivals — Diddy and Rick Ross — with a single Instagram post. The G-Unit head honcho didn’t stop there; he even roped in R. Kelly for good measure. Let’s dive into the drama and dissect the details.
The controversial post
On Friday, May 24, 2024, 50 Cent shared an eye-catching piece of artwork on his social media pages. The image featured the disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly, overlaid with depictions of the embattled Bad Boy mogul Diddy and the late convicted 𝑠e𝑥 offender Jeffrey Epstein. But that’s not all. In the background, 50 Cent superimposed Rick Ross’s verse from the song “U.O.E.N.O.,” where Ross raps about drugging and taking advantage of a woman. The lyrics go like this:
“Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it. I took her home and enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.”
50 Cent’s scathing commentary
In the caption accompanying the post, 50 Cent didn’t hold back. He expressed his disbelief at the audacity of artists who include such controversial lines in their songs:
“You know sometimes I think people are just stupid. Why would you say this in a song? I DRUGGED HER ASS, AND I RAPED HER ASS, AND SHE AIN’T EVEN KNOW IT!”
The timing of this post is particularly pointed. Just days prior, Diddy faced a 𝑠e𝑥ual assault lawsuit alleging that he drugged and assaulted a former model named Crystal McKinney in 2003. The legal battle has intensified, and 50 Cent seized the opportunity to take another jab at his longtime rival.
The ongoing feud
This isn’t the first time 50 Cent has targeted Diddy. The rap feud between the two has simmered for years, with 50 Cent consistently finding ways to provoke and taunt the Bad Boy Records founder. Recently, he even made a dark suicide joke aimed at Diddy following the latest 𝑠e𝑥ual assault lawsuit.
Rick Ross gets dragged in
But 50 Cent didn’t stop at Diddy. He also dragged Rick Ross into the mix. Earlier in the week, he mocked Ross and Meek Mill’s album sales, and now he’s resurfacing some of Rozay’s old lyrics. The tension between 50 Cent and Rick Ross has escalated, and fans are eagerly watching to see how this latest salvo plays out.
In the ever-evolving landscape of hip-hop rivalries, 50 Cent’s Instagram post has set off a firestorm. Whether it’s a calculated move or simply a reflection of his unfiltered personality, one thing is clear: the drama is far from over. As fans and critics alike weigh in, the question remains: Are people just stupid, or is there more to this story than meets the eye? Stay tuned for further developments in this explosive saga.
