50 Cent has accused the Let’s Rap About It podcast of owing $250,000 for the space where they record the podcast, and he’s drawn an angry response from host Maino.

“These guys are squatters, they owe 250,000 k for the space they are filming their podcast,” he wrote in a post that included a screenshot of a thumbnail for the podcast, an AI definition of the word “squatters,” and a headline that claims Jim Jones lost his home to foreclosure. “These bums are trying to win best dressed award and can’t pay their bills.”

The Let’s Rap About It podcast is hosted by Maino, Fabolous, Dave East, and 50 Cent’s longtime rival, Jim Jones. On a recent episode of the podcast, Jim Jones tore into 50 Cent over his involvement as a producer for the Netflix documentary about Diddy, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. 50 Cent shared a clip of Jones describing 50 Cent’s involvement with the documentary as “petty behavior,” and called it a “mockumentary.”

Alongside the clip, 50 Cent wrote, “I understand Diddy was your hero, stay down with him. I don’t care if you let him play with ya butt, then act like you don’t remember.”

While Jones has yet to respond as of this writing, Maino hopped on Instagram and shared an edited photo of 50 Cent sporting a feminine haircut.

“Meet Killer Curly ladies & gentleman,” he wrote alongside the photo. “He helped me get my record deal before so Imma always be grateful, so it’s gone hurt me to drag this n***a to hell! Fuck is the problem Curtis? What has your G Unit G-String in a bunch n***a? Is it the bitch or the diabetes? But let’s rap about it!!!”

While the documentary has proved controversial, especially due to Fif’s involvement, it has been incredibly popular following its debut on Netflix earlier this month.

During its first week on the platform alone, the Alexandria Stapleton-directed docuseries drew 21.8 million views. Representatives for Netflix and Diddy have since engaged in competing narratives about the docuseries, which has only been bested by the long-awaited return of Stranger Things, which drew 25 million views in its second week of availability.
