In a recent turn of events, hip-hop mogul 50 Cent has made it clear that the longstanding feud between him and fellow rapper Rick Ross is far from over. The tension between the two artists dates back over a decade and has been fueled by a series of public spats and diss tracks. Despite the years gone by, 50 Cent reiterated his stance that he and Rick Ross will never be friends.
The rivalry originally sparked from an incident at a poorly executed event, which 50 Cent has frequently referenced in his jabs at Ross. The animosity intensified in 2009 when Ross took aim at 50 Cent in his track “Mafia Music.” Since then, the two have engaged in a back-and-forth exchange of insults and creative barbs, solidifying their positions as two of hip-hop’s most notorious rivals.
Adding another layer to this ongoing saga, 50 Cent recently expressed interest in securing Rick Ross’s hit track, “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast),” to serve as the anthem for his upcoming series “BMF,” set to premiere on Starz. The incorporation of this iconic song would undoubtedly elevate the show’s profile, appealing to fans of both the series and the music.
However, Rick Ross has made it clear that he is not willing to grant permission for the use of his song without some form of compensation. In a recent interview with Billboard, he humorously suggested that he would only agree to the deal if there was a notable increase in sales of his signature chicken wings. This tongue-in-cheek proposal highlights the business-savvy nature of both artists, as they navigate the complexities of their professional and personal relationships.
As the feud continues to unfold, fans are left eagerly anticipating not only the premiere of “BMF” but also any further developments in the rivalry. With both artists firmly entrenched in their respective positions, it seems that 50 Cent and Rick Ross will continue to capture the attention of the hip-hop community for the foreseeable future. As always, the world of rap remains a dynamic space, where rivalries can lead to new opportunities and unexpected collaborations.
