In a recent series of social media exchanges, rapper 50 Cent has reignited his long-standing feud with Rick Ross, targeting him over his role as the opening act for Bow Wow on the upcoming Millennium Tour. The rivalry between the two artists has been well-documented, with each taking jabs at the other over the years.
50 Cent, known for his unapologetic and often humorous approach to beefs, took to Instagram to share a flyer announcing Rick Ross’s guest appearance on the tour. In his post, he mocked Ross, implying that the rapper’s status in the industry has diminished. “Get quiet when they got to open for Bow Wow, boss. He’s not a surprise guest; he can’t sell a ticket,” 50 Cent wrote, adding further fuel to the fire with a string of comments that highlighted the irony of Ross’s position.
The exchange comes on the heels of a tumultuous month for Rick Ross, who faced criticism following an incident involving Big Meech, which led to 50 Cent taking several shots at him. Ross had attempted to respond, but the back-and-forth seemed to escalate with this new jab from 50 Cent. The rapper’s comments not only targeted Ross but also referenced Bow Wow, suggesting that the former teen star’s presence on the tour was a reflection of Ross’s declining appeal.
In another post, 50 Cent shared a clip of Bow Wow on stage and quipped, “I know Live Nation just threw that [expletive] in there,” further insinuating that Ross’s inclusion in the tour lineup was an afterthought rather than a strategic booking. He continued to emphasize the financial aspect of the situation, noting that Ross was reportedly set to make $30,000 a night while opening for Bow Wow, prompting 50 Cent to question the rapper’s status in the industry.
The feud between 50 Cent and Rick Ross dates back to 2009 and has included numerous personal attacks and provocations over the years. Both artists have built their brands on controversy, and this latest exchange appears to be no different. Fans and observers are left wondering how Ross will respond to 50 Cent’s latest shots, as the two continue to engage in a battle of wits on social media.
As the Millennium Tour approaches, it remains to be seen whether Rick Ross will address 50 Cent’s comments directly or let them slide in the spirit of moving forward with his performances. For now, this ongoing rivalry serves as a reminder of the entertainment value of hip-hop feuds, keeping fans engaged and eager for the next development.
