In a dramatic escalation of their long-standing feud, rapper Rick Ross has threatened to purchase the music catalog of his rival, 50 Cent, amidst a fresh round of online jabs between the two artists. The conflict reignited when 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock Ross for his role as a special guest on the Millennium Tour, where he is set to open for Bow Wow. In a series of posts, 50 Cent ridiculed Ross, saying, “Ninjas get quiet when they got to open for Bow Wow,” and emphasized that Ross, who reportedly earns $30,000 per show, is struggling to sell tickets.
50 Cent’s comments included a screenshot of a Complex article that highlighted Ross’s tour antics, further fueling the fire. In his Instagram post, he quipped about Ross trying to sell wings and car show tickets, indicating that the rapper’s endeavors were less than impressive. This public taunting didn’t sit well with Rick Ross, who promptly responded with a video of his own, delivering a fierce rebuttal.
In his response, Ross warned 50 Cent to “shut up” or risk having his music masters bought by Ross himself. “Who owns your masters? I buy your masters,” he declared, making it clear that he was not backing down from the verbal sparring. Ross further criticized 50 Cent’s personal life and alleged struggles, suggesting that the rapper is in a precarious position due to past relationships and business ventures.
The exchange reflects a broader trend of public feuds within the hip-hop community, where artists often use social media to air grievances and engage in playful — yet sometimes vicious — banter. Fans and followers of both artists are closely watching the developments, as the feud has become a source of entertainment and intrigue within the music industry.
Rick Ross’s remarks, particularly referencing an interview with Tony Yayo, suggest that the ongoing conflict could have deeper implications related to personal and professional reputations. Both artists, despite their wealth and success, seem intent on maintaining their rivalry in the public eye, showcasing how high-profile disputes can dominate headlines even in an age of significant financial success.
As the feud continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how each rapper will respond and whether Ross will indeed follow through on his threat to acquire 50 Cent’s masters. Fans can expect more theatrical exchanges as both artists navigate their complicated relationship in the spotlight of the music industry.
