In a whirlwind of news from the hip-hop and sports worlds, 50 Cent has responded to Jim Jones’ recent comments about a potential Verzuz battle, while Lil Baby’s attorney has weighed in on an Atlanta police press conference that mentioned the rapper.
During a recent interview, Jim Jones expressed interest in a Verzuz battle, suggesting that his extensive catalog of platinum and gold records could stand up to any competitor. However, when 50 Cent was mentioned as a possible opponent, he made his disdain clear. In a social media post, 50 Cent referred to Jones as “delusional” and reminded fans that Jones only has one notable hit, “Ballin,” written by Max B. He warned Jones to “shut up” before “True Life” starts chasing him around the city again, hinting at their longstanding feud. This exchange has sparked considerable buzz online, with fans weighing in on whether a Verzuz battle between the two would be a spectacle worth watching.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Lil Baby’s attorney, Drew Finland, issued a statement regarding the Atlanta Police Department’s recent press conference that made implications about the rapper. Finland condemned the references made to Lil Baby, asserting that it was “nonsense” to suggest he could not shoot a music video in his hometown due to alleged connections to criminal activity. He emphasized that decisions regarding music video locations are made by professional teams, not individuals, and lamented the use of Lil Baby’s name in connection with a serious crime he had no involvement in. Finland stated that Lil Baby is devastated by the situation, as he has consistently worked to uplift his community.
