Debate ensues among fans as 50 Cent’s aggressive actions are questioned for authenticity or marketing strategy.
50 Cent has ignited a viral feud with the “Let’s Rap About It” podcast hosts, Jim Jones, Maino, Dave East, and Fabolous, after the crew criticized his recent Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, as a disrespectful “”mockumentary.””
Retaliating against the criticism, the G-Unit mogul threatened to purchase the studio building where the podcast films, publicly labeling the rappers as “squatters” and alleging that their landlord is fed up with unpaid rent. To prove his leverage, 50 went as far as sharing an alleged audio recording of a call with the property owner, vowing to take over the deed and “fifty percent” of their show.
While Maino fired back by telling the rapper to loosen his “G-Unit g-string,” the digital pressure campaign appears to have produced alleged financial results. 50 Cent later claimed victory on Instagram, posting a photo of himself on what looks like a business call, with a caption stating that Jim Jones had finally “wired the $200k” to settle the debt.
As the rapper now post pictures relaxing by the pool warning enemies that “if I wasn’t me, I would leave me alone,” fans are left debating whether this hostile takeover is a genuine power move or a brilliant marketing stunt to keep his documentary trending on Netflix.
