5 instances that earned rapper 50 Cent the title of “King of Petty”

Cardi B and Nicki Minaj have taken over the internet with their recent feud.

However, it seems that 50 Cent may be even more petty that the female rappers. Here are a few of 50’s most petty beefs through out his career.

American rapper Curtis James Jackson otherwise known as 50 Cent is big on social media, on Instagram he has a fan base of 21 million people and when he is not posting about his show ‘Power’ or his alcohol brand Effen Vodka, he is definitely roasting and beefing with his fellow celebrities.

With that said, many have said 50 Cent takes the crown when it comes to being petty. The ‘King of Petty’ has spent nearly 20 years in the game carefully building this reputation. The ‘Den of Thieves’ actor rarely drops an issue, and he never hesitates to throw shots at his rivals.

Here are the 5 times the ‘Get up’ crooner has been petty with his fellow celebrities.

1. Fifty Vs Rapper Ja Rule

These two American rappers have been beefing for years but on Friday 26th October 2018, 50 decided to take it to a whole another level. He took a jab at the low ticket prices for an upcoming Ja Rule show on Nov. 9 by allegedly purchasing 200 tickets, so the seats would be left empty.He then posted two photo-shopped images on Instagram of what the crowd at Ja Rule’s show will look like.

2.50 Cent Vs Diddy

Back in 2014, in a battle for Hip-Hop’s vodka crown, 50 Cent decided that he would instigate a beef with Diddy, the businessman behind Ciroc. In the proceeding years, Fifty hasn’t held back when it comes to his rivalry with Puff, refusing to even refer to his competitor’s product by name, instead calling it “Puffy Juice.” In January this year, Fifty during a radio interview, called Diddy gay which further fuelled his teasing on social media.

3. 50 Cent Vs Meek Mill

In 2015, Meek Mill shared a video of 50 Cent, which 50 quickly took offense to. This was just the beginning of their feud, and the real pettiness began when 50 started posting meme after meme, insulting Meek Mill on Instagram that trended all over the world for weeks. After the back and forth disses between the two rappers, Meek eventually conceeded defeat to the King of Petty.

4.50 Cent Vs Floyd Mayweather

Mid this year, Instagram was lit with a beef between American rapper 50 Cent and boxer Floyd Mayweather.The two have been spilling each other’s secrets on Instagram in an escalated beef that began when 50 Cent claimed that Mayweather conned him off $2 million (Sh200,000,000) back in 2012.The boxer hit back with several paragraphs calling the rapper a snitch whose music no longer sells and is bitter with every successful person.

To this 50 Cent responded with a post on how he would expose the boxer then later penned down a claim of how Mayweather was the cause for his best friend committing suicide after taking his girlfriend. Mayweather posted that the rapper’s worth was same as the cost of his watch prompting 50 Cent to post a poorly written excerpt of the boxer’s letter claiming that Mayweather cannot write.

 

5. 50 Cent Vs Vivica Fox

Years after 50 Cent and actress Vivica Fox’s break up in 2003, the two have been going at each other on since 2005, in late 2016, tensions were raised regarding the two when Vivica addressed 50’s comments about the show Empire, which she’s a cast member of. The G-Unit rapper shared a post with a comment regarding Empire’s ratings being down due to “too much gay stuff.” Vivica clapped back at 50 by stating, “First of all, the pot calling the kettle black is all I’m gonna say,” implying, of course, that 50 Cent is gay himself.
