If there’s one thing 50 Cent is gonna do, it’s talk his talk. And this time, he’s claiming he had to send Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. to rehab after the young actor allegedly got too cozy with whippets—yes, the same nitrous oxide gas used in BB guns (according to 50, at least). The accusation comes in the midst of 50’s ongoing feud with Big Meech, and of course, he took to Instagram to spill the details.
“I thought about it,” 50 wrote. “I think he was uncomfortable with me and MeMe’s relationship. I’m telling MeMe I don’t want him doing drugs. He telling him he used to do X like it’s cool. I tell MeMe chill, stop spending all ya money, he telling him how much money he blew. People don’t know I had to send MeMe to rehab. Russell Hornsby peeped he was high as fck on set, he started throwing up at a weapons test, then Ian told me the little [expletive] had whippets in his truck. I said, what the fck is whippets? I look, it’s the sh*t that be in BB guns.”
If you’re keeping score at home, that’s 50 Cent doubling as an interventionist, financial advisor, and part-time father figure. Lil Meech, for his part, has yet to respond, but if history tells us anything, 50 isn’t exactly known for keeping things private—so this might not be the last we hear about it.
Of course, this all ties back to 50’s very public fallout with Big Meech, which escalated after the former Black Mafia Family boss teamed up with Rick Ross for a “Welcome Home” concert. 50 wasted no time labeling him a “rat” on Instagram and even went so far as to leak screenshots of text messages from Lil Meech, hinting that BMF, the hit series on Starz, might be on its last legs.
Fans are split—some are worried about the future of BMF, while others are just here for 50’s latest internet antics. One user summed it up best: “This man wakes up choosing petty violence, goes to sleep with it too. Diabolical behavior.” Another chimed in: “This is deeper than we think… 50 was there more as a dad for Lil Meech than Big Meech was.”
One thing’s for sure: when 50 Cent has a grudge, he’s gonna make sure everybody knows about it.
