50 cent
HipHopWired Featured Video
Social media’s king of all things petty, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, is back at it again via his popular Instagram after jabbing at BMF actor, Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory, Jr. Earlier this week on his page, 50 Cent shared an image of Lil Meech in a wheelchair inside of what looked to be a medical facility, suggesting that he might be suffering from drug use.
Previously, 50 Cent said via social media that he reportedly sent Lil Meech into a rehabilitation center in February for drug addiction and sparking rumors that the BMF television series that centers on the street tales of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory Sr. won’t be going forward.
“Damn this is BAD you believe me now! Oh Now you want to believe me OK,” 50’s caption to the image read. He followed that with another post featuring images of Lil Meech, Rick Ross, and Floyd Mayweather asking why the stars haven’t stepped in to help the young actor with his alleged issues.
“HELP help him out you guys knew what you were doing. You used him and now you’re not gonna be there for him. SMH,” 50 added in the caption.In February, 50 Cent said that Meech allegedly came to a filming of BMF high on drugs and vomiting. Later, Fif said someone on staff told him that Meech was using whippets. Meech has not commented on the claims made by 50.The posts can be viewed below.

Source: Logan Riely / GettyWhile he’s always repped his city hard, his connection to H-Town goes beyond just business—it’s real love. One of the most unforgettable moments was when he pulled up to the Houston Rodeo in full cowboy gear—boots, hat, everything. That was 50 showing mad respect for the city and its culture.At last year’s Rodeo, 50 hit the stage and performed “In Da Club,” and the crowd went crazy. The response was like no other, proving 50’s star power is still on top, even in a city with a deep hip-hop history. His love for Houston ain’t just about performing. The unofficial mayor of Houston has also been making moves with his brand, launching Branson Cognac, and holding meet-and-greets for his Texas fans. 50’s not just passing through—he’s tapped in.It doesn’t get more Houston than when 50 showed up at an Astros game, decked out in full Astros gear and rocking a 50K Houston Texans necklace. That’s respect right therePlus, two years ago, 50 announced during an interview with 97.9 The Box that he had officially moved to Houston, saying, “Every time I experienced Houston, I ran into random acts of kindness. The people have been good to me.” When the pandemic hit, it was Houston or Miami on his mind, especially after seeing how locked down New York was. Bottom line: 50’s bond with Houston is real, and you can tell the city’s got a special place in his heart.

50 Cent wasted no time clowning after Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ 30-fight winning streak came to a stop with a draw.
Always on his troll game, 50 took to social media to blame Jim Jones and Juelz Santana for bringing bad energy to the fight. Instead of talking about boxing, he roasted them, saying, “One person teeth falling out, the other got a full grey beard, trying to show a chrome heart scarf.” Basically, 50 was saying Tank set himself up by letting them walk him to the ring.
Cam’ron was the one to spark a reaction out of the biggest troll (50 Cent) in the game. He joked that Tank needed to burn some sage after being around Jim and Juelz, saying that negative energy stuck with him during the fight. Whether they were serious or just trolling, the jokes flew all over social media. Tank is still technically undefeated, but this draw had everybody talking. Fans expected another W, but instead, they got 50 turning it into a comedy show.
Of course, Jim Jones and Juelz Santana got caught in the crossfire. This is just another example of how hip-hop and boxing stay connected—whether it’s rappers walking fighters out or throwing shots after the fact. One thing’s for sure: when 50 gets in troll mode, nobody is safe.
50 Cent just wrapped up his back-and-forth with Big Meech and Lil Meech over Big Meech linking up with Rick Ross after getting out of jail. 50 stirred things up by posting a pic of a rat, quoting Rick Ross’s “BMF” song, “I think I’m Big Meech,” hinting at some shady business.
50 Cent posts a rat pic on IG with the caption ‘I think I’m Big Meech’ and says the biggest mistake Big Meech made was not sustaining his relationship with Tammy Cowins, an alleged FBI informant.
50 Cent wrote the following caption:
“The biggest mistake he ever made was not… pic.twitter.com/I0q6Mlq3Sc

It seemed like a jab at Big Meech, who’s straight-up denied any betrayal. The online beef got spicy, but now 50’s backing off. Meanwhile, Big Meech is sticking to his story, shutting down the rumors and keeping his name clear in all the drama.

Lil Meech is finding out the hard way that his boss, 50 Cent, has pettiness levels through the roof.
50 Cent is taking his foot off BMF star Lil Meech and his father Big Meech’s necks. The Southside Jamaica Queens rapper shared on social media that the actor has a drug addiction that required him to send him to rehab.
On his favorite tool for antagonizing those he feels have wronged him, 50 Cent accused Big Meech of being jealous of the relationship he developed with his son while filming the hit Starz series BMF, which the rapper, born Curtis Jackson, serves as an executive producer on.
Lil Meech Was Allegedly “High As F*** On Set” According To 50 Cent
He also claimed in the eye-opening post that “MeMe,” that’s what he was calling Lil Meech, had a drug problem while adding that Big Meech did not like the fact that the “Wanksta” rapper helped his son.
“I thought about it I think he was uncomfortable with me and MeMe’s relationship,” 50 Cent wrote. “I’m telling MeMe I don’t want him doing drugs. He telling him he use to do X like it’s cool. I tell meme chill stop spending all ya money, he telling him how much money he blew. people don’t know I had to send MeMe to rehab.”
He continued, “Russell Hornsby peeped he was high as fuck on set he started throwing up at a weapons test then Ian told me the little [ninja] had whippets in his truck.I said what the fvck is whippets I look it’s the shit that be in Bebe guns.”
The post, which is hilariously still up, features a video clip of Gene Deal talking about Big Meech, born Demetrius Flenory Jr., being a snitch and working with “officers,” referring to Rick Ross.
How Did This All Begin?
50 Cent’s continued attacks on Big Meech and Lil Meech stem from his disgust for Big Meech taking a flick with longtime nemesis Rick Ross ahead of the now-canceled Welcome Home Concert and Lil Meech standing up for his dad.
We hope this doesn’t affect the show in any way. We still need our entertainment, Fif.
Social media has been reaction to the ongoing drama between the rapper and the Flenory family, you can see those reactions in the gallery below.

Fans of 50 Cent are well aware that the G-Unit mogul is blessed with acerbic wit and is always ready to fire back at anyone who dares to mention his name. After Joe Budden suggested that 50 Cent enter into therapy for seemingly celebrating Irv Gotti’s passing, Fif shot back and ramped up the slander as he typically does.
On a recent episode of his eponymously named podcast, Joe Budden made mention of 50 Cent’s jabs towards Irv Gotti via social media, highlighting the long-running feud between the fellow Queens natives. Budden shared a clipped video meant for social media sharing to publicize the segment, and Fif caught wind of the jab as he always does.
Via his Instagram on Tuesday (Feb. 18), 50 Cent fired back with, “Stay out my mix Joe talking about I need therapy. B_itch you need to stop walking around naked. The fvck is you doing in the hallway with ya balls out PUNK!” — referencing Budden’s recent legal issues regarding sleepwalking around his studio complex naked.
From there, 50 Cent turned up the heat with AI-generated images of Budden that have recently appeared on social media in various stages of undress.
“Da fvck is you doing over there naked Joe? [H]ow you open the damn door if you sleep fool. Nah fvck all that, you try it again perv!” Fif wrote in the caption of a post featuring a depiction of Budden attempting to open a door.
50 kept up his barrage for a pair of other posts featuring Budden before moving on to his usual flood of promoting his various business interests and ending it with a meme featuring a naked man atop a hiking trail.
Joe Budden has yet to respond but most likely will address the matter on the upcoming weekend episode of his broadcast.

50 Cent demands absolute loyalty, and if he doesn’t get that, best believe he will air your a** out. Lil Meech, the star of BMF, found that out the hard way.
Things got rocky after 50 Cent called Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory a snitch by posting a photo of a rat on Instagram and posting in the caption, “I think I’m Big Meech,” for linking up with nemesis Rick Ross, Lil
Rick Ross performed at Flenory’s Welcome Back concert after being freed from prison after serving 16 years.
Big Meech did respond to Fif, sharing a photo of the two with an animate piece of cheese and a rat covering the rapper’s face.
Rozay also clapped back at the “Wanksta” crafter imitating his voice in a picture, saying, “N-gga took a picture with Rick Ross!” and then changing to his voice and adding, “You like a hoe, n-gga. Put your back against the wall and just slide down.”
Lil Meech Reached Out & Got Exposed
Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. reached out to the Queens rapper and executive producer on BMF to see what’s good, and his messages were then shared by the G-Unit general on Instagram in a now-deleted post.
“They just told me u unfollowed me on Instagram and now u managing Skilla Baby with Rocket when I brought him around you first when u didn’t have a clue who he was,” Lil Meech wrote. “Now u mad at me when I would take my shirt off my back for you.”
“I can’t believe this man. U act as if I’m your enemy. I’ve only showed you love and loyalty. [I’m] human I go thru my own shit but I never switched up on you,” he continued.
Summer Walker’s ex-boo also clarified the Rick Ross and Big Meech photo, claiming it happened because of money. Basically, Ross was looking out for his dad.
“Fuck Ross but he gave my dad some bread so he can afford to pay his bills until our next season starts,” Lil Meech said regarding the hit Starz drama series. “This internet shit is throwing me off man. U know me in real life.”
Keeping that petty energy we have come to know 50 Cent for, he replied, “What next season little [ninja emoji]? “This implied that he was going to fire Lil Meech and find another actor to play his father in the show.
Further mocking Flenory Jr. in another now-deleted post, Fif clowned the young actor, telling him he was going to end up on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, “I’ll give Mona Scott [Young, executive producer of the reality series] a call for him later today!”
Social Media Is Not Suprised By 50 Cent’s Behavior
As expected, there is no shock regarding 50 Cent’s behavior. This is the same man who just mocked Irv Gotti, who passed away after suffering a stroke.
50 Cent will never change.
You can see more reactions in the gallery below.

The 50 Cent and Rick Ross beef continues. Fif has recently hinted at Big Meech being a rat and Rozay called him a hoe in response.
As per Blavity, Big Meech’s release from prison is already clouded in controversy. On Tuesday (Feb. 4), 50 Cent posted (since deleted) a picture of a rodent with a text overlay that read, “I think I’m Big Meech!” The caption cryptically alludes to having a female associate working with federal government on his behalf. “The biggest mistake he ever made was not sustaining his relationship with (Tammy Cowin) her tell all Docu reveals the truth.”
In a follow-up post 50 Cent shared a video of man bragging about telling on people but had it altered to feature Big Meech’s face instead. “He had Tammy Cowin doing all his dirty work, her new tell all break it down Screech directed her and connected her to people to get his time cut” he wrote.
These scathing posts come right after Big Meech posed with Rick Ross for some pictures promoting his official welcome home concert and Rozay’s June 7 car show.
As expected, the snitch claims, that used the infamous hook from Rick’s homage track to Big Meech “BMF (Blowin’ Money Fast)” by the way, landed on Renzel’s radar. As spotted on HipHopDX, he responded directly to 50 Cent. Using an exaggerated voice he said “N***a took a picture with Rick Ross!” He then switched to his regular voice and said, “You like a hoe, n***a. Put your back against the wall and just slide down.”
Tammy Cowan is believed to be Big Meech’s longtime business partner and assistant. She is also credited as a producer on 50 Cent’s BMF show. You can see Rick Ross’ response below.

Irv Gotti, the co-founder of Murder Inc. Records, has reportedly suffered another stroke, and unconfirmed reports state that he is on life support. 50 Cent, a rival of Irv Gotti, took what many are saying was a cheap shot toward his fellow Queens native in their decades-long beef.
Irv Gotti, 54, reportedly suffered a stroke last year, according to the audio account of Wack 100, who shared the news via a public audio group chat. Gotti, whose real name is Irving Lorenzo, has been open about his battles with diabetes and how it has reportedly damaged his health. According to Gotti’s rep, the mogul has changed his diet and was addressing the issues caused by his condition.
Despite this news, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, went to his usual route of social media to take a shot at Gotti and it isn’t resonating well with some. Sharing an image that read “Irv Gotti On Life Support Friends And Family Saying Their Goodbyes,” Fif added in the caption, “Damn I wanted him to see my new shows yo!” on Instagram.
In the comments, fans are letting 50 know that the jab was out of line while some are highlighting that his comments are true to his brand and infamous petty streak.
As this story develops, we’ll return with more details about Gotti’s health as they emerge.

Rapper and professional hypeman 50 Cent and DJ Khaled are officially on good terms, and baseball legend Reggie Jackson helped make it happen. The two were spotted earlier this week in Port St. Lucie, Florida, where they were about to hit the golf course together. As they linked up, 50 and Khaled hugged it out and dapped each other up, showing they’d squashed their beef.
Khaled reached in for a dap and said, “Nothing but love and respect.”. The two had been throwing shots at each other for years, with 50 Cent especially trolling Khaled on social media. But it looks like Reggie Jackson, who’s close with both, stepped in and got them to make peace. He’s known for being a leader, both on the field and off, and he helped bring the two together.
Now that they’ve buried the hatchet, fans are hoping this is the start of them working together. It’s a reminder that sometimes the right person can help people let go of old beefs and move forward, especially in the world of hip-hop.
50 Cent has been keeping busy with his newest endeavor, his own residency in Las Vegas. He’s been hitting one of the city’s hottest venues with a series of shows, where he’s been performing his classic hits and bringing that high-energy vibe fans love. It’s a big move for 50, showing he’s not just a rapper but a full-on entertainer. With his acting and business game already strong, this Las Vegas residency is just another flex in his legendary career. If you’re a 50 fan, you don’t want to miss this—he’s about to turn up in the Vegas spotlight.

Just when it seemed like Cam’ron might have put an end to his unforeseen drama with Jim Jones with his epic rant on It Is What It Is, 50 Cent decided to egg on the drama as he’s known to add fuel to whatever fire is burning within his vicinity.
Though Cam stated that he would no longer entertain any back-and-forth with Jim after speaking on the matter, 50 Cent made no such promises and is still looking to troll the former Dipset Capo for talking greasy about him. Taking to the Gram to continue to poke fun at Jim Jones, 50 Cent posted a clip of Cam’s now famous clapback at Jim Jones’ credibility and in the caption wrote, “Individual 1, I mean joMo, jimmy you better holla at Cam privately and chill out.”
https://www.instagram.com/p/DExm2nwuJ6y/?img_index=1

Referring to him as “Individual 1” is a shot at Jones, as 50 has accused him of cooperating with feds in the entire Tekashi 6ix9ine investigation that led to the arrest of multiple Blood members in Tekashi’s former circle. He even included a shot of Mase eating popcorn on the sideline with a caption that read, “This is the worst part of the video LOL HARLEM !”
https://www.instagram.com/p/DEyEyEkOaZS/
While Jones was noticeably silent after Cam’s video made the rounds on social media, it seems like the man was cooking up a little response in the studio. Earlier today (Jan. 14), he previewed a clip to a new song on his Instagram page that may or may not be a response to both Cam’ron and 50 Cent. Though he doesn’t say anyone’s name he does include some references to Cam’ron’s response to his interview with Justin Laboy.
