In a twist many didn’t see coming, 50 Cent has thrown his weight behind Kanye West, even as Kanye spirals into controversy with his fiery comments on social media.
50 Cent, once known for his rivalry with Kanye, now seems to be enjoying Kanye’s social media antics. Despite Kanye’s harsh remarks about JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s kids, 50 shared his amusement online, saying he was tuning in to Kanye’s new album, “Bully,” which Kanye leaked earlier this week.
Kanye’s comments have been nothing short of shocking. On X (previously Twitter), he doubled down on his remarks about JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s children, calling them ‘retarded,’ and even made distasteful jokes in the process. His posts have sent tremors across social media, stirring anger and disbelief.
Meanwhile, amidst this swirl of chaos, 50 Cent’s response seems paradoxical. He noted that he generally disagrees with Diddy but found himself grinning at Kanye’s antics, adding, ‘just smile Ye, and fuck em all, man.’
Kanye has been on a tirade, his targets extending beyond just JAY-Z and Beyoncé. He’s taken aim at other artists like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and even Cassie. But nothing has stirred as much controversy as his statements about the Carters’ children.
After deleting some of his inflammatory posts, Kanye claimed it was a precaution to avoid getting his account cancelled. Yet, he didn’t seem remorseful about the content of his posts, insisting on his right to speak freely, however offensive his remarks might be.
JAY-Z and Beyoncé have remained tight-lipped amid this feud, with whispers suggesting that they might be gearing up for legal action. The tension is palpable, and the music world watches closely to see what unfolds next.
In the world of hip-hop, loyalty and rivalries shift like quicksand. As 50 Cent backs Kanye amid this storm, the industry and fans are left to wonder how this saga will play out.
