There goes 50 Cent once again at his favorite target: Floyd Mayweather Jr.! But this time, the tone appears a bit more mellow. The Grammy Award-winning rapper has been steadily taking shots at the undefeated boxing champion ever since rumors about Mayweather’s finances began swirling. As talk of possible bankruptcy gains traction online, 50 Cent, once a close friend of Mayweather’s, took to Instagram with a familiar mix of shade and sentiment.
The Grand Rapids-born Olympic bronze medalist retired in 2017 and later embarked on an exhibition career. At the same time, with a keen eye on real estate, the world’s richest boxer began shaping a post-retirement life as a business mogul. In recent months, reports of Mayweather’s property purchases have made headlines. So why the sudden bankruptcy rumors? For one, it’s an old whisper resurfacing. Still, the latest gossip has opened the door to a wave of speculation and, naturally, some public jabs.
Alongside a video discussing Mayweather’s financial situation, the ‘In da Club’ artist wrote, “Damn, they talking bad about Champ, even though we be beefing he still my brother.” 50 Cent didn’t stop at sympathy. In a follow-up, he implied that unlike others in Mayweather’s circle, he’s never relied on him.
Suggesting that Mayweather surrounds himself with yes-men who depend on him financially or emotionally, the 2010 Grammy Award winner said, “We be falling out because I don’t need him. He use to people being co dependent.”
