In a resurgence of their long-standing feud, 50 Cent recently took to Instagram to mock Rick Ross, reigniting a rivalry that dates back to the mid-2000s. The latest exchange began when 50 Cent criticized Ross for being slated as a special guest on the upcoming Millennium Tour, featuring artists like Trey Songz and Bow Wow. In a series of posts, 50 Cent taunted Ross, suggesting that he was merely warming up the stage for Bow Wow and questioned who owned Ross’s masters, hinting at financial struggles.
The animosity between the two rappers traces back to 2007 when 50 Cent belittled Ross’s past as a corrections officer, leading to a barrage of diss tracks and public confrontations. Over the years, their feud has evolved, intertwining with various other disputes in the hip-hop world, including 50 Cent’s ongoing issues with artists like Ja Rule and Meek Mill, who is affiliated with Ross’s Maybach Music Group.
Rick Ross, known for his resilience in the face of 50 Cent’s provocations, responded with his own jabs, calling out 50 Cent’s financial woes and questioning the status of his film projects. Ross emphasized his business ventures, including Wingstop and his music career, countering 50’s claims of superiority.
This recent exchange showcases not only the personal rivalry but also the broader landscape of hip-hop, where feuds can significantly impact artists’ careers and public perception. As both rappers continue to engage in this war of words, fans are left wondering if there will ever be a resolution or if the beef will persist indefinitely, much like the artists themselves, who are now both in their late 40s. With their history of fierce exchanges, it’s clear that 50 Cent and Rick Ross are not ready to bury the hatchet just yet.
