In the never-ending saga of hip-hop rivalries, Rick Ross has once again taken aim at 50 Cent, refusing to let up on the Queens-born rapper-turned-TV mogul. The latest jab comes after 50 Cent reportedly lost control of his highly-touted G-Unit Studios, a move that Ross clearly sees as an opportunity to twist the knife.
This time, the “Hustlin’” rapper took his trolling to another level, resurfacing an old moment to humiliate 50 Cent further. In a viral clip making the rounds on social media, Ross mocked the Power creator for allegedly drooling on DJ Khaled—a dig that has reignited their years-long feud.
But is this just another round of playful banter, or is there a deeper reason why Ross continues to go after 50 Cent so relentlessly? Let’s break it down.
A Feud That Never Dies
The beef between Rick Ross and 50 Cent has been one of the longest-running feuds in hip-hop, spanning over a decade. What started as subliminal shots in interviews and diss tracks quickly escalated into full-blown warfare, with both rappers taking every opportunity to belittle the other.
From Ross’s scathing Mafia Music diss track to 50 Cent leaking personal information about Ross’s past as a correctional officer, the two have traded blows for years.
However, the latest round of attacks from Ross seems to be fueled by something more than just old grudges.
The Fall of G-Unit Studios
G-Unit Studios was supposed to be one of 50 Cent’s crown jewels—a place where he could produce films and TV shows under his growing empire. However, reports surfaced that 50 Cent had lost control of the studio, though the details remain murky.
Ross wasted no time in capitalizing on the situation, ridiculing 50 for the setback. In a video posted online, Ross sarcastically offered 50 Cent a job at The Promise Land, Ross’s lavish estate.
“I know you need a place to film, Fif. Come through to The Promise Land. We got space, we got horses—you can shoot a Western, my boy,” Ross joked, much to the delight of his followers.
The DJ Khaled Incident: A Petty Reminder
As if mocking 50 Cent’s business woes wasn’t enough, Rick Ross also dug into an embarrassing old clip of 50 and DJ Khaled. In the resurfaced footage, 50 Cent appears to be resting with his eyes closed while talking to Khaled, prompting Ross to claim he had “drooled” on the Miami producer.
“Boy, you drooled on DJ Khaled, man. You fell asleep mid-conversation. That’s crazy!” Ross said in a laughing fit.
The internet, of course, ran with it. Memes flooded social media, and fans on both sides reignited the debate over who truly runs the game.
50 Cent’s Silence: Strategic or Just Over It?
Unlike past disputes where 50 Cent would fire back instantly with ruthless clapbacks, this time, he’s been noticeably silent. Some speculate that 50 simply doesn’t see Ross as a threat anymore, given his massive success in television with shows like Power, BMF, and Raising Kanan.
Others believe that 50 Cent is just waiting for the perfect moment to respond, possibly in a way that will humiliate Ross on an even bigger stage. If history has taught us anything, it’s that 50 rarely lets things slide.
Will This Beef Ever End?
At this point, it seems like the Ross-50 feud is simply a part of hip-hop culture—an ongoing back-and-forth that never truly dies. While Ross may be enjoying the moment, 50 Cent has always been known to play the long game.
Whether 50 chooses to hit back or let this one slide, one thing is certain: Rick Ross isn’t letting up anytime soon. And in an era where social media dictates much of an artist’s relevance, keeping your name in the headlines—even through beef—might just be the smartest business move of all.
