50 Cent appears to have shared his thoughts on a viral debate involving Fabolous and Lloyd Banks.
According to 2Cool2Blog, Fif took to Instagram on Thursday (January 29) to share a snippet of Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda’s recent interview with The Breakfast Club, where Yayo argued that Banks was better than Fabolous.
In the post, which was reportedly later deleted, 50 mentioned what he saw as similarities between the two rappers before declaring the online debate "a tie" — but not without some shade.
"They both write better when it's about girls, they both think they are better than everybody," 50 Cent reportedly captioned the post. "They both never put in no work them selves. They both are not likely to sell at this point in their career IT's A TIE LADIES & GENTLEMAN."
50 also shared another portion of The Breakfast Club interview, where Yayo praised the G-Unit head honcho for his handling of the label's artists. "I’m just listening 👂 to what they got to say about me," Fif captioned the post.
50 Cent’s reported comments come about a month after he shared a cryptic message that many fans interpreted as a warning shot aimed at Let’s Rap About It podcast hosts, Fab, Jim Jones, Maino and Dave East.
"Let’s toast to success, health, and prosperity," Fif wrote in an Instagram post in December. "I’m planning my new year. When I’m done, I’ll come out to play. You know everyone who plays with me wishes they didn’t in the end."
The post was accompanied by an edited image of 50 posing as Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in The Great Gatsby, lifting a glass in a celebratory toast, an image long associated with quiet menace disguised as confidence.
While 50 didn’t mention anyone by name, and the post could be read as a general statement about entering the new year, many fans quickly connected it to a freestyle by Fab, Jones, Maino and East.
A few days prior to Fif's post, the Let’s Rap About It podcast hosts released a freestyle that appeared to take aim at the "In Da Club" rapper. The track used one of 50’s instrumentals, referenced him throughout the verses, and was titled "Squatter’s Rights," a clear nod to the "squatter" accusations 50 has previously lobbed at the group online.
