In a recent episode of social media banter, Rick Ross took aim at 50 Cent, questioning his financial stability after the rapper’s acquisition of his music masters. The exchange highlights the ongoing feud between the two hip-hop icons, characterized by public jabs and personal digs.
In a video that circulated widely, Ross addressed 50 Cent’s efforts to establish a G-Unit film studio in Louisiana, implying that the venture was struggling. He remarked, “I see you struggling making that G-Unit film studio out there in Louisiana,” challenging 50 Cent’s ability to secure loans for the project. Ross suggested that the ambitious plans for the studio, which 50 Cent had previously showcased through renderings, were falling short of reality.
The feud took a more personal turn as Ross brought up 50 Cent’s former associates, including Tony Yayo and Auntie Murder, insinuating that they were facing their own hardships. He humorously critiqued their appearances, saying, “skin ain’t even right,” further emphasizing the point that 50 Cent’s crew was not faring well.
Ross’s comments reflect a broader narrative in their rivalry, as he accused 50 Cent of being overly concerned with his financial status while simultaneously struggling with his projects. “Make sure you stream Nino Bree’s new single New Era,” Ross added in a somewhat promotional tone, but the primary focus remained on the feud.
In defense of 50 Cent, some commentators pointed out that his net worth is estimated to be around a billion dollars, which starkly contrasts with Ross’s claims of financial distress. Critics of Ross have urged him to focus more on his own health and well-being, with one remarking, “stop pocket watching and watch your weight,” a nod to Ross’s own struggles with weight management.
The exchange underscores the competitive nature of the hip-hop industry, where personal rivalries often unfold in public arenas, fueled by social media. As both artists continue to navigate their careers, it remains to be seen how this latest volley will impact their legacies and future endeavors in the music and entertainment landscape.
