Rick Ross is stirring the pot once again, setting the stage for another clash with 50 Cent. The MMG legend is planning a big-budget movie about the Black Mafia Family, aiming to outdo 50’s current TV series on STARZ.
50 Cent, an executive producer on the STARZ show BMF, has been publicly feuding with Black Mafia Family co-founder Big Meech and his son Lil Meech. The tension partly arises from their association with Ross. 50’s not one to shy away from drama, sharing a picture of a rat with the caption ‘I think I’m Big Meech,’ trolling him using lyrics from Ross’s hit song ‘B.M.F. (Blowing Money Fast).’
Not one to stay silent, Rick Ross responded via Instagram with plans for a major motion picture, calling 50’s series ‘lackluster.’ Ross teased that he’s aiming for a big splash, hinting that renowned directors like F. Gary Gray, Antoine Fuqua, or Quentin Tarantino might be involved. He seemed confident that his cinematic venture would surpass the TV adaptation in a significant way.
50 Cent has suggested through social media posts that more revelations are coming in a ‘tell-all’ documentary. This project, related to BMF, will reportedly be narrated by Tammy Cowins, a former associate of Big Meech and a co-producer of the STARZ series.
Adding fuel to the fire, 50 Cent threatened to cut Lil Meech from the series after leaked messages showed the young actor acknowledging Rick Ross’s financial support to his father, Big Meech. The ongoing saga between these giants of the hip-hop world shows no sign of letting up as Big Meech himself has yet to publicly weigh in on the controversy.
While some might perceive this as typical celebrity squabbling, others see it as a reflection of deeper issues within the hip-hop community. Personal vendettas intertwined with business dynamics can often create a volatile mix, especially when public figures are involved.
Social media has allowed both artists to leverage their followings in this very public spat, each using platforms like Instagram to deliver their jabs and counter-jabs. For Ross, this might be a calculated move to not only promote his planned movie but also to antagonize his longtime rival.
As Rick Ross forges ahead with his ambition to create a BMF movie, the question remains whether he can deliver on his promise of a ‘big-budget’ spectacle. For fans, this unexpected twist in the ongoing saga offers yet another reason to watch as things unfold.
With tensions between Rick Ross and 50 Cent bubbling over, the world watches to see who will come out on top in this high-stakes entertainment face-off. While the drama unfolds both on-screen and off, one thing’s for sure: neither icon is backing down.
