New York—Rap artist 50 Cent and boxing champion Floyd Mayweather have seen their friendship transform into a public rivalry, marked by a series of social media exchanges and personal challenges over the years. Their complicated history dates back to before Mayweather’s brief imprisonment in 2012 when he asked 50 Cent to manage his boxing promotion company, The Money Team. Initially, 50 Cent embraced this role, providing support as Mayweather served his sentence.
Upon Mayweather’s release, tensions boiled over when 50 Cent sought $1 million, claiming it was payment for his work with the promotion. Mayweather’s failure to settle this debt ignited a feud, which became infamous when 50 Cent created a satirical video during the ice bucket challenge sensation, mocking the boxing star.
In a recent development, 50 Cent indicated that, while the animosity between them has eased somewhat, their once-close friendship has not been restored. The two have, however, found themselves at odds once more after 50 Cent publicly ridiculed Mayweather over a $100 million lawsuit against Business Insider. This lawsuit stems from an article alleging that Mayweather’s reported acquisition of a substantial real estate portfolio in Manhattan was not substantiated by any verifiable sale.
Amidst the ongoing back-and-forth, Mayweather recently addressed the legal dispute in a now-deleted Instagram post, expressing frustration with how media outlets have portrayed him over the years. He claimed that despite the negative press, he had never previously sought legal action against a media entity. He urged the public to separate his fight persona from his true character.
In a jab at Mayweather’s legal troubles, 50 Cent commented that the lawsuit is unlikely to yield results, suggesting the fighter is frustrated regarding the circumstances surrounding the case. He implied that Mayweather had misnamed parties involved, which could complicate matters further for him.
As their longstanding issues resurface, it remains clear that their relationship continues to draw public interest. This latest exchange indicates a renewed rivalry between the two icons, adding another chapter to their tumultuous history.
