In the world of hip hop, court dramas and social media go hand in hand.
- Tory Lanez and 50 Cent are voicing their disdain for journalist Meghann Cuniff.
- Cuniff had bet on A$AP Rocky being found guilty, opposing 50 Cent.
- 50 Cent keeps demanding his winnings with humor and legal threats.
- Tory Lanez adds his voice from prison, maintaining his history of disdain for Cuniff.
Tory Lanez has added his voice to the chorus of criticism aimed at court reporter Meghann Cuniff, joining 50 Cent in expressing disapproval. Cuniff had bet against 50 Cent, expecting that A$AP Rocky would be found guilty, but was wrong when Rocky was acquitted. Now, 50 Cent humorously insists on collecting his $500,000 winnings.
On Instagram, 50 Cent made light of the situation, posting multiple messages and jokingly threatening legal action to get his money. Meanwhile, Tory Lanez, from behind bars, chimed in with a blunt comment, calling Cuniff a ‘GOOF BITCH,’ complete with a laughing emoji.
Lanez’s dislike for Cuniff is not new. During his own trial concerning charges related to Megan Thee Stallion, he reportedly used his time in court to insult Cuniff, labeling her in a derogatory way, although she did not hear it. Cuniff noted this on social media, attempting to verify her court record to find any proof of the incident.
Previously, Lanez’s team had accused Cuniff of biased reporting against the rapper. They advised the public to disregard her reports, claiming her coverage was unfair. There were social media posts emphasizing skepticism towards Cuniff’s reporting, indicating ongoing tension between her and Lanez’s supporters.
Cuniff’s reporting on legal matters in the hip hop world has often been vocal and direct. However, her recent incorrect prediction on A$AP Rocky’s case caught significant attention, especially from those with high stakes in the outcome, like 50 Cent. The rapper seemed to enjoy the role of victor in this betting scenario, playing it up with his characteristic flair.
This saga in the hip hop legal world shows the lasting impact of social media and courtroom drama.
