50 Cent has, for the moment at least, abandoned Instagram in favor of Twitter. According to 50, the decision was inspired by Instagram's tendency to "take shit down off my page without notifying me." 50 has also requested that the social media platform now attempt to censor "these nuts."

Prior to his Instagram abandonment, 50's recent tweets mostly served as standard promo for 50-related items of note such as Power and Eminem's Coachella set. As of Wednesday, however, 50 had started taking a more personal approach. Over the past 24 hours, 50 has shared his insight on everything from masturbation to Kanye West's recent Trump-aligning rhetoric.

Specifically, 50 mocked West's widely panned "400 years? That sounds like a choice!" comment about slavery and his liposuction admission.

Of course, 50 and West have history. Way back in 2007, the two went head-to-head for a marketing stunt in the lead-up to their respective albums Graduation and Curtis, both released on the same day. West ultimately came out on top, though 50 would later walk back his claims of retirement.
