50 Cent & Floyd Mayweather Have Officially Squashed Their Beef.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper and the box office-busting fighter were almost inseparable when the pair were each at the height of their fame.
50 Cent attended Mayweather’s 30th birthday in 2007 in Las Vegas and was ringside for a number of his best-selling boxing bouts.
But around 2012 things started to turn sour. They had a dispute over money, according to Bleacher Report, and 50 Cent, in a viral video, challenged Mayweather to prove he could read by reciting “one full page from a Harry Potter book.”
While Mayweather was locked up, Fiddy went to work signing several boxers to the company. Once Mayweather was released, 50 Cent naturally assumed he would receive a cut of the company’s profits. After requesting his portion of the financial gains, roughly $2 million, Fiddy did not get a response from Mayweather.
XXL reported that Fiddy setting up The Money Team by procuring boxing licenses in New York and Las Vegas was never actually the plan, hence why Mayweather didn’t pay up. This conversation must have happened after Mayweather was released, because Fiddy was there to pick him up from jail.
Do men know that if they just speak honestly about their feelings that an argument doesn’t have to last 10 full years? According to ESPN, in August 2012 Floyd Mayweather served “two months of a three-month sentence in a misdemeanor domestic battery case,” during which time 50 Cent was tasked with establishing Mayweather’s promotions company: The Money Team, per The Mirror.
Despite their issues, 50 said that he still refers to Mayweather as “champ” and they both came to the realization that there was no value in leaving things unresolved. “Yo, why it take so long for you to pull up on me fam?” 50 recalled Floyd saying when they met to resolve the beef. “‘Crazy…why you say all that stuff about me? What you been doing?’” They’ve since apologized to each other, and a post on the rapper’s Instagram implies they’re even thinking about working together again.
