50 Cent has mocked Kanye West for saying he had ‘cut ties’ with himself amid his anti-Semitism scandal, in the latest clash between the long-feuding rappers.
On Thursday, Kanye – who legally changed his name to Ye a year ago – joked about ‘cutting ties’ with himself as brands continued to severe relationships with him over his anti-Semitic rants.
He reposted a fake news headline concocted by UK Rap News, which read: ‘Ye has reportedly cut ties with Kanye West.’
Joking around: 50 Cent, 47, (Pictured in 2021) has jumped on a sarcastic social media trend, by taking to Instagram and poking fun at Kanye West’s empire crumbling around him
Alongside the headline, the rapper, 45, jokingly added: ‘Had to cut ties bro,’ poking fun at himself after he claimed to have lost $2billion in a day.
Shortly after, 50 Cent, 47, jumped on what became a sarcastic social media trend, by taking to Instagram and poking fun at Ye’s empire crumbling around him.
It is not the first time that the two rappers have clashed, as 50 Cent has previously mocked Kanye for getting lipo and have been feuding for over a decade.
In his latest post, Fiddy – real name Curtis James Jackson III – shared two pictures of himself side-by-side with the headline: ‘Curtis Jackson has reportedly cut ties with 50 Cent.’

The In Da Club hitmaker captioned the image: I’m getting rid of anybody who can get me fvcked up like kanye right now ! LOL #brasoncognac #lecheminduroi.’
Kanye then deleted his original ‘cutting ties’ post and shared 50 Cent’s tongue-in-cheek meme while requesting they join forces to bring his Donda Academy to Houston, Texas, where 50 Cent resides.
According to Newsweek, 50 Cent responded in a now-deleted comment, which reportedly read: ‘OK YE let’s build a school in Houston but go cool off,’ and is said to have added that Kenye is ‘hot right now’ with ‘the Feds all on him’.

But 50 Cent’s posts shifted from jokey to serious when he became aware of a CNN report alleging that Kanye ‘has a disturbing history of admiring’ Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
Former TMZ reporter Van Lathan Jr. alleged earlier this month that the Heartless musician had professed his ‘love’ for Hitler during a 2018 interview with the outlet.
In a now-deleted post, 50 Cent wrote next to a screenshot of the CNN article: ‘I have never seen anything like this before. I think Kanye should buy the car he likes the best and just ride off into the sunset, it’s really a wrap.
‘People are really hurt by this s***. I have seen people in this position because of [things] they have [done] not things they have said. Now you gotta master the art of shutting the f*** up! […] You gonna make everybody hot. Go cool off!’

It is not the first time that the rival rappers have clashed as they have been feuding with each other for over a decade.
Their feud began heating up in 2007, when Kanye’s album Graduation trounced 50’s LP Curtis on the Billboard charts, surpassing the G-Unit rapper’s numbers by over a quarter million units.
After that a casual rivalry was elevated into a full blown beef.
Things only intensified after Graduation earned Kayne four nods at the 50th annual Grammy Awards, which took place in 2008. And the grudge match has continued ever since.

And back in 2018, the In Da Club rapper took aim at the ever-controversial Kanye in a series of snide tweets.
He mocked the Kanye’s admission he became addicted to opioids after getting liposuction surgery, posting: ‘Going to bed hungry tonight because l don’t want you guys to call me fat, and l don’t want to get lipo.’
50 Cent also mocked Kanye about his comments regarding slavery, which were made during the same live interview on TMZ.
Responding to Kanye’s controversial remarks, the rapper tweeted: ‘Look at the bright side, I could be saying slavery was a choice.’
