50 Cent is giving himself a round of applause.
After days of beefing with T.I. and his son King Harris, Fif took to Instagram to boast about his recent career achievements. He began by posting a shoutout to director Mario Van Peebles, who recently secured an NAACP Image Award for his work on the 50-produced Starz series Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
Fif returned to the ‘Gram a couple of hours later to share several news articles announcing Fightland, a British boxing drama he executive-produced for Starz. According to Variety, the series will star Howard Charles as Maduka “Duke” Kilroy, an embattled boxing champion seeking revenge on a crime family. The first season has already wrapped production and is expected to air in the U.S. later this year.
“I know what your thinking how is this happening, it’s very simple I’m on [flame emoji],” he wrote. I’ll take these L’s ! LOL. GLG. GreenLightGang.”
50 celebrated the wins shortly after deleting a series of posts taking aim at T.I. and his family. The longstanding beef was reignited earlier this month, when T.I. accused Fif of backing out of their VERZUZ matchup. Tip claimed that he and 50 had agreed to approach the event as a celebration of their respective catalogs, but Fif never followed through.
“It’s like, fuck all of it,” T.I. said during an appearance on Million Dollaz Worth of Game. “Now, I question your character. N***a, just say you don’t want to do it… That shit ain’t going to happen. I don’t want to stand on stage with him. I don’t respect him.”
50 fired back in the most predictable way: He began posting memes and jokes directed at T.I.’s wife, Tiny Harris, and their son King.
The back-and-forth continued for several days, resulting in multiple diss tracks from T.I., insults about King’s appearance, and low blows about 50’s late mother.
50 has since removed all the posts directed at the Harris family, suggesting he was over the back-and-forth.
“I’m out of here, you guys hurt my feelings,” he captioned a photo of him boarding a private plane.
He alluded to the T.I.-King beef in a subsequent post, writing: “To entertain is to provoke emotions. Love me or hate me, it’s cool. Just care enough to feel some kinda way. Tomorrow’s gonna be a slow news day or y’all can just make some shit up. I’m busy. LOL.”
