Mama Said Knock You Out: A Look Back At 50 Cent Beef

July 1st, 2008 | Author: Melanie Cornish

And y’all wanna know why I ain't gotta answer niggas / Cause I truly understand these niggas / Scared of me so they talk about family members / Like I can't point out your grandma, nigga.” – Nas "MC Burial," 2006.

ROUND NINE: Hillary Clinton

Even politicians need to get their armor on; no one is spared the wrath of Curtis Jackson. Okay, so Fif was behind Hillary all the way, totally supported the woman who then went and destroyed everything her and her team had built up in a matter of words. But it was the speech that the now Democratic candidate Barack Obama on race that had 50 punching the air and showering the Chicago statesman with his nod after public endorsing Hillary only a couple of months earlier.

ROUND TEN: Shaniqua Thompson

Baby mama drama has never been more rampant for 50 since he hit the big time. A recent restraining order issued by Ms. Thompson against the rapper has many people wondering WTF, as the only times they are seen in the same room more often than not is in court as she fought over alimony. Now with a house burned to the ground and her screaming neglect, the only place for this ongoing feud is family court. But with her literally saying 50 was the mastermind behind the fire, 50 and his team of legal professionals are taking her to court to have her mouth legally shut.

ROUND ELEVEN: Bang Em Smurf

Having allegedly tossed his once -homie to the side when the Gangsta Flip Label boss caught a case in New York City, relationships between one of the alleged founding members of G-Unit soured seriously. 50’s once boy took aim at his now nemesis with a chair during Summer Jam in 2004. Taunted by Lloyd Banks who "made it rain" on Smurf and his crew who had premier seats, three rows from the front, bottles and chairs were flying, but Smurf and crew managed to get out before cops arrived to calm it all down, or make it worse given that it was New Jersey cops in the place.

ROUND TWELVE: Vivica Fox

Nothing worse than seeing an older (and should be wiser I hasten to add) lady who has a pretty decent resume get caught up in grade school shit. Wasn’t that what all that was? Fifty came out and proved a point that all is really not fair in love and war when he had Vivica on his arm at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards; dumped her a week later and left Viv hanging with no ‘closure’ on their time spent together and her feeling the need to defend her actions and pretty much light a match to her career in Hollywood.

"50 Cent likes to think he made me sexy. I just had to get that out in the universe and let him know that no, he did not. I did Tae Bo three to five times a week all the time and watched what I put in my mouth. I been holding my tongue not saying nothing, letting him talk all kinds of shit. All of a sudden I'm exploiting him? How long I been here, y'all? I don't got to exploit nobody. My films have grossed over $1 billion worldwide." – Vivica Fox.
