Floyd Mayweather Reignites Beef With 50 Cent For No Apparent Reason

We’ve seen this so many times before, and it’s become way too many times.

One grown, successful man goes for the jugular of another grown man on social media, the target claps back with something just as lethal, baby mamas involuntarily become involved, crews get amped up, social media turns up to the Nth degree and then us publishers have to write on it. In the end, the two “combatants” generate publicity (oftentimes which is the primary goal when starting social media beefs), new projects are released while the wave is still cresting, profits are made, gossip sites flourish and, many times, innocent people are affected negatively.

Early this morning we watched as old old beef was reignited when undefeated boxing champ, Floyd Mayweather, took to Instagram to take the fight, once again, to his nemesis 50 Cent.

Curtis “Confidential Informant” Jackson, you’re mad because your oldest son Marquees mother doesn’t want to be with you! Your Son, your own flesh and blood don’t want nothing to do with you! You haven’t had a hit song on radio in who knows when and you’re definitely not hot enough to even sell records anymore so Interscope dropped you. You are jealous of any rapper, athlete or entertainer that’s hot or got something going on for themselves. You are a certified snitch and we got paperwork to prove it. You talk about Ja-Rule but you stole his whole style and ran with it! You’re the only self proclaimed gangster that’s never put in work! You need to pay homage to the real 50cent for stealing his name and his storyline. Your claim to fame was getting shot numerous times & living to tell it and you think that’s Gangster? Where at? You’re currently living in a fucking apartment in Jersey, you are always in somebody else’s business just to stay relevant. You should just become a blogger cause it’s obvious you don’t have nothing going on in your life. Are you mad that Kanye West ended your career? The only thing you got going on is Power and everybody watches that because Ghost is a dope ass character on the show. You can leave the show everybody will still watch Power, but out here in the real world I’m The Real Ghost. That’s not a Mansion in Connecticut that you’re in debt for, that’s a dump, a money pit an oversized trap house! It was dope when Mike Tyson had it in the late 80’s early 90’s, but you couldn’t afford to maintain it. You’re always talking about somebody is broke, but the last time I checked it was Curtis Jackson that filed for bankruptcy not Floyd Mayweather. So quick to gossip like a Bitch, why don’t you tell everybody how you got Herpes from DJ. Where’s your memes for that, huh? Or better yet, post on how your Coca-Cola deal wasn’t really 300 million you fucking liar and tell how that spinning G-Unit necklace that somebody got robbed for was fake. Just remember, I was with you everyday and your driver Bruce was my driver also. I know where all your bones are buried, so be easy Curtis Jackson! And by the way, don’t ask to borrow no more money from me.

In a long form post, the champ goes right at 50 Cent, starting a war that no one was even remotely thinking about.

But Floyd didn’t stop there. No, he brought family into the fight.

Hoes will come and go, but bloodline is forever! You want to address the world, but forget to address your first born. Don’t worry Marquise, Uncle Floyd still got you! I would hold little man down too, but you’re still not sure if he really belongs to you.

As the post went viral and Black Twitter revved the engines up, 50 Cent was plotting his response, or in this case responses, and he brought the strap with him.

I must have hurt your feelings champ,you had someone write a book I’m gonna take my time with this so I get it all out we are gonna start with your 11 Domestic violence cases. Wait a minute I’ll do them in order remember you asked for this. get the strap #lecheminduroi

50 Cent also went at his own baby’s mother and one of Floyd’s ex’s on his IG page, verbally degrading them with words that don’t need to repeat.

But what’s the real purpose of all of this? Press is the ultimate motive, and as is usually the case when a project is about to be released, beefs pick up to generate the hype they need so they can build momentum and utilize it to their wallet’s advantage. It’s a tactic used by many, including Trump, who understands how to manipulate, blame and camouflage when he needs to distract and/or generate attention on something other than what’s really transpiring. Unfortunately it’s a successful, but so very childish, practice, and in the latest Floyd – 50 Cent beef, so very unnecessary. 

Let’s all hope that nobody really it takes it there and that this dies down so we can all focus on situations that need real attention.
