Rick Ross has once again found himself at the center of a heated exchange, this time with fellow rapper 50 Cent and podcaster Gillie. The tension has reignited after 50 Cent made comments implying that Ross is struggling financially and highlighted his habit of cutting his own grass, suggesting it’s a sign of financial woes.
In a recent video, Ross responded to 50 Cent’s jabs, asserting that the longtime rivalry is merely a tactic employed by 50 to stay relevant. He remarked, “When things get bad for you, you mention me,” suggesting that 50 Cent leverages their feud to garner media attention when his own projects falter. Ross further took shots at 50’s career, recalling instances where he believed 50’s promotional ventures, particularly in boxing, fell short.
The back-and-forth began after an interview featuring 50 Cent went viral, where he derided Ross for allegedly being broke. The comments sparked Ross’s retort, as he claimed that 50’s fixation on his financial status reflects more on 50 than it does on him. “What kind of rich person cuts their own grass?” Ross questioned, further implying that 50’s financial standing is not as secure as he portrays.
This exchange comes in the wake of an interview where Gillie asked 50 about his ongoing feud with Ross. Ross seized the opportunity to pivot the conversation towards his own business ventures, including a proposed boxing match featuring Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield. “I want to do Thriller in Manila three. We’ll put the ring right here in my front yard,” Ross proclaimed, attempting to showcase his expansive property and future plans.
The longstanding rivalry between Ross and 50 Cent has often played out in the public eye, with both artists utilizing their exchanges to promote their respective projects. Ross’s strategic use of social media during these conflicts has kept him in the spotlight, as he often tags his business ventures in his posts.
As the drama unfolds, it seems that both rappers are well aware of the publicity they generate through their rivalry. While Ross appears to be focused on the future and his business, 50 Cent continues to leverage their feud as a means to remain relevant in the ever-competitive music industry.
The latest chapter in this saga highlights not just the personal animosity between the two artists but also serves as a reminder of the entertainment value that comes from their confrontations. As both continue to trade barbs, fans can expect their rivalry to persist, keeping them engaged and entertained in the world of hip-hop.
