50 Cent is back at it—this time aiming his verbal jabs at none other than Jay-Z. The G-Unit mogul sat down with Andrew Schulz on the FLAGRANT podcast, where he delivered a scorching take about Hov’s success, claiming it wouldn’t have reached such heights without Beyoncé.
“When Jay signed his contract, the big one was with Beyoncé,” 50 said with his signature smirk. “When he signed that contract, the marriage contract, he got trophies. Now those f***ing trophies came rolling in buddy. He started getting Grammys left and right.” He didn’t stop there. “If you look at his career, he had one. He got like 20 now,” he added, as the FLAGRANT crew erupted into laughter.
Schulz, trying to clarify, asked if 50 really believed all of Jay’s accolades were tied to Beyoncé. Without missing a beat, 50 doubled down: “Absolutely. He’s been treated differently.”
While the room found humor in 50’s blunt delivery, the internet wasn’t as amused. Fans were quick to call out the rapper for stirring up unnecessary drama. “Between 50 and Dame, I don’t know which one talks about Jay more. Them dudes like Jay’s groupies,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “I wish 50 would make some good music again instead of gossiping all the time.”
Whether you see it as competition, trolling, or just plain old pettiness, 50 Cent’s take has people talking—and it doesn’t look like he’s done stirring the pot anytime soon.
