50 Cent has thrown himself into the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar debate, claiming he’s got insider knowledge on the long-standing tension between the two rap giants. During an appearance on Big Boy Radio, the G-Unit rapper revealed some unexpected insights that have fans cracking up—and scratching their heads.
The conversation started with 50 addressing his own past rivalries with Jay-Z and Diddy, downplaying any lingering drama. But when the topic turned to Drake and Kendrick’s feud, 50 couldn’t resist stirring the pot. The New York legend claimed J. Cole bowed out of the beef prematurely, saying, “He should’ve stayed on the battlefield.” He then pivoted to a surprising—and comedic—revelation: Drake’s so-called “opp list,” which allegedly includes music critic Anthony Fantano and popular podcasters.
Things took a more serious turn when 50 accused Drake of hypocrisy for criticizing Universal Music Group (UMG) for allegedly backing Kendrick during their feud. “Everything he [Drake] says they [UMG] did for Kendrick, is something they did for him,” 50 stated. He didn’t stop there, suggesting that Drake had more diss tracks ready to fire. “Drake was loaded and ready to go again. There’s no way you stop… and you’re losing. Nah, I gotta fix this.”
Fans, however, were less convinced that 50’s comments were helpful. “50 hasn’t helped Drake’s case once yet. He honestly making it worse,” one fan joked online. Another added, “Out of all of them, he thought The Heart Part 6 was the best? He might have saved his career by not releasing them.” While 50’s remarks may have been intended to shed light on the feud, many believe they’ve only reignited old flames that are better left in the past.
