50 Cent has finally revealed how much he spent to cancel Big Meech’s tour, and let me tell you—the number will leave your jaw on the floor. After all the drama between these two, 50 has remained relatively quiet about the behind-the-scenes business, but now, we are getting the details straight from him. You won’t believe how much it cost to shut the tour down, and the reason might surprise you.
Let’s start with the concert. Big Meech’s “Welcome Back” concert was scheduled for February 13, 2025, at the Amarant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The event was meant to celebrate Meech’s release after serving a 15-year sentence and was expected to be a huge moment in hip-hop. Meech was convicted of running a large-scale criminal enterprise spanning multiple states, including Atlanta and Detroit. His story, as the leader of the Black Mafia Family, inspired a popular TV show filmed in Atlanta. After serving nearly 20 years for drug-related offenses, he was released, and the concert was meant to be a grand celebration.
Big names like Lil Baby, Rick Ross, 21 Savage, Sexyy Red, Kodak Black, Moneybagg Yo, and Boosie were all set to perform. It was shaping up to be a massive event, with artists from across the country gathering to honor Meech’s return. Rick Ross himself hyped up the event, urging fans to grab their tickets and be part of history.
However, just hours before the concert was set to begin, everything fell apart. The Amarant Bank Arena announced the cancellation on social media, citing “unforeseen circumstances.” Fans were left in shock, and the internet quickly started buzzing with theories about what had happened.
50 Cent has now come forward with some insight into the situation. He claimed that Lil Baby was one of the reasons for the concert’s failure. According to 50, Lil Baby showed up in a Ferrari truck, pockets full of cash, but did not contribute anything to the event. Tony Yayo backed up this story, adding that Lil Baby had no obligation to give money but was expected to support Meech in some way.
Another issue involved Boosie, who reportedly spent over $10,000 preparing for the concert, only to receive no explanation for its cancellation. He revealed that he spent money on travel, hotels, and clothes, bringing his family and entourage along, only to be left in the dark when the event was called off.
50 Cent hinted that more artists might have backed out than we initially heard about. He posted online that fans would be disappointed if Lil Baby, Skilla Baby, and Icewear Vezzo didn’t show up. This raised further speculation about whether Big Meech was expecting artists to perform for free.
The drama has cast doubt on Big Meech’s financial standing, with some questioning whether he relied too much on his reputation instead of securing proper funding for the concert. Some suggest that the artists backed out because their teams weren’t getting paid. While rappers often sell out major venues, their management teams may not have been on board with a free performance.
Beyond the concert fiasco, the tension between 50 Cent and Big Meech has escalated significantly. Their relationship took a sharp decline after Meech’s release, but the breaking point came when Meech linked up with Rick Ross in January 2025. Given 50’s long-standing beef with Ross, this did not sit well with him.
50 wasted no time throwing shade. He went on Instagram, posting a picture of a rat with the caption “I think I’m Big Meech,” implying that Meech might have cooperated with authorities. He even claimed that media personality 1090 Jake had paperwork proving Meech snitched and dragged Tammy Cowans into the mix, suggesting she had dirt on Meech as well. Meech quickly shut down the allegations, stating that he had never folded, never told, and never would.
50 took the trolling to another level, flooding social media with rat memes and shady posts. He even launched a GoFundMe page to help Big Meech “pay his bills,” setting the goal at a petty $10,000. The post went viral, with over 50,000 likes, as fans either laughed at the stunt or questioned whether Meech was struggling financially.
50 also claimed that he had to send Lil Meech to rehab due to substance abuse issues on the BMF set, further implying that Meech Jr. was out of control and needed his intervention. He reminded everyone that he had done more for Lil Meech than anyone else, covering his bail multiple times.
The canceled concert, the GoFundMe stunt, and the accusations against both Big Meech and Lil Meech are all part of 50 Cent’s ongoing humiliation campaign. He’s not just beefing with them—he’s trying to completely ruin their public image. The Black Mafia Family’s reputation has taken a major hit, and 50 Cent is making sure everyone knows it.
This is nothing new for 50, who thrives on conflict. He has used similar tactics against Rick Ross, Jay-Z, and Kanye West in the past. His feud with Ross dates back to 2009 when he exposed Ross’s past as a correctional office
