50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have a long history with each other. The former friends and colleagues have been taking jabs at each other on Instagram, and things went 0-100.
It all started after reports suggested that the boxing champ spent $18 million on a watch, that Fif’ insists he can’t afford. Mayweather began comparing the watch to the rapper turned actor’s net worth.
50 hit back. “Remember this post please because champ can’t afford to buy this watch right now. He make up shit I knew he never bought the watch, he still be running around fronting.” Closing out the post, he wrote, “He will be back hosting party’s for 10k.”
Apparently, that struck a nerve for Floyd because he went in for the kill and things just keep getting more ugly.
Fif’ appeared unbothered, but that could all be a facade to deflect the tea that Floyd spilled. Let’s get into all the things we’ve learned from this beef.
1. 50 Cent’s net worth is about $20 million.
The Queens native is worth about $20 million, according to Mayweather and Wealthy Gorilla.
2. Floyd Mayweather has a hidden history of domestic abuse
Not sure if this was general knowledge, but Floyd is a certified woman beater. Mayweather was convicted of abusing Melisa Brim, the mother of his oldest daughter, in 2001 and two friends of his other baby’s mother, Josie Harris, in 2003 but those charges were “dismissed per negotiations.” Harris took him to court in 2005 for kicking her and dragged her out his car, then five years later he hit her in front of their children. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail as a result.
3. 50 has a New Jersey apartment but is allegedly in debt for Mike Tyson’s former Connecticut mansion, which he sold for $8 million to a developer who plans to turn it into a nursing home.
4. Floyd Mayweather may have a ghostwriter.
Fif’ posted up a hilarious draft of what he alleges was the rough draft for Floyd’s comeback, due to the fact that he’s illiterate. However, with the latest iPhone features, the Champ can speak into a microphone and the words will be typed out for him so 50 could just be trolling.
We all know about the rocky relationship between 50 and his oldest son, Marquise, who is actually the spitting image of him. But the status of that relationship doesn’t stop him from flaunting his youngest, fair skinned son, who Floyd says Fif’ isn’t even sure is his.
7. Floyd is allegedly responsible for the Earl Hayes’ murder-suicide.
Fif’ went below the belt and opened up a can of worms in his last post. He revealed that Floyd was smashing his friend’s Earl’s wife, Stephanie, and the murder-suicide occurred while Earl was confronting the champ. Yikes.
