The war of words between rapper Rick Ross and 50 Cent continues. The latest salvo was fired by 50 Cent, who interrupted an interview on ThisIs50.com to ridicule Ross for selling only 34,000 units of his new album, Black Market, in its opening week.
In an interview with hosts Hynaken promoting his new mixtape, The Kanan Tape, 50 Cent said, “34,000? Is that a rock or a brick? 34,388 copies and you know they went and bought some,” suggesting Ross’ Ross’ camp bought a chunk of the units that were sold. However, it was later reported by HotNewHipHop, that Ross actually moved 50,000 units in its first week.
Although 50 Cent is known as a bit of a troll online, his battle with Ross has been a long one. In a recent sparring match on Instagram, the “Color Money” rapper Ross insinuated that 50 Cent’s estranged son, Marquise Jackson, had applied to work for him. Back in June their beef came to a head after Ross’ son’s mother sued 50 Cent for distributing a sex tape of her and was awarded a $5 million.
Their beef comes in a long line of beefs involving 50 Cent, such as his ongoing trolling of fellow mogul Diddy as well former undefeated UFC champ Ronda Rousey upon losing her title to opponent Holly Holms. To say 50 Cent has a reputation for bashing others online is an understatement.
Will these two every make amends?
