In a social media showdown that has reignited their longstanding feud, rapper 50 Cent took to Instagram to roast boxing champion Floyd Mayweather over the latter’s recent claim of owning over 100 buildings in New York City. Mayweather made the bold statement during his appearance on “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon, sparking a humorous and scathing response from the rapper.
During the talk show, Mayweather, known for his extravagant lifestyle and business ventures, expressed uncertainty about the exact number of properties he owns, stating, “I own right now somewhere upwards of 100 buildings or more. I think 90% of my buildings are in New York City.” This vague assertion provided 50 Cent with the perfect opportunity to poke fun at his rival.
Posting a clip of Mayweather’s statement on his Instagram account, 50 Cent wrote, “Hey, oh my God, if there’s a safe to say I should say LOL. Champ is the richest special ed student. LMAO.” He continued in the comments, “Oh wait, I think champ thinks he owns them buildings. They beating him out of the money. He’s saying he don’t know what he owns. Somebody tell champ he just publicly said he lives in NY; they will come and take 58% of any income he has.”
This jibe adds another chapter to the ongoing rivalry between the two stars, known for their back-and-forth exchanges over the years. Earlier this year, 50 Cent mocked Mayweather for praising former President Donald Trump, saying, “Yo, you know how when you’re in school and a kid eats the crayons? Now you see what happens when they grow up. Spell best president, champ.”
50 Cent’s recent barbs are not limited to Mayweather. The rapper has also been embroiled in public feuds with other notable figures, including Big Meech and Lil Meech, after the BMF co-founder was seen with rapper Rick Ross, as well as taking jabs at Jim Jones alongside Cam’ron. Despite the many targets of his humor, the rivalry with Mayweather remains particularly rich in comedic potential, and fans seem to revel in every exchange.
As the feud continues to unfold, both celebrities maintain their status as significant figures in the entertainment world, with their antics providing a constant source of entertainment for their followers. The playful banter has become a hallmark of their relationship, with fans eagerly anticipating each new development in this ongoing saga. What are your thoughts on this rivalry?
