50 Cent has once again stirred controversy by revisiting his past criticism of boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, this time doubling down on allegations of illiteracy.
Shortly after announcing his upcoming debut fiction novel on Friday (March 1), Fif turned to Instagram to promote the book, The Accomplice, and in the same breath slyly threw shade at his longtime rival.
“I have no beef with anyone, I even made sure the audiobook comes out at the same time so champ won’t feel left out. [shrug emoji] GLG [traffc light emoji],” he wrote alongside a snap featuring the book’s cover.
“GreenLightGang [film emoji] The accomplice Movie coming soon,” he added also revealing there’s a film in the pipeline, all the wile tagging his spirit brands Branson Cognac and Le Chemin du Roi.
The feud, spanning back as far as 2019, saw 50 Cent poking fun at Mayweather’s alleged illiteracy issues with a written letter he shared on Instagram.
It seemingly reignited this week after Mayweather’s comments on Diddy’s sexual assault allegations.
The retired boxer appeared on The Pivot Podcast in late February where he refused to condemn the Bad Boy boss over accusations he raped four woman, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie.
“I’m not gonna speak bad about P. Diddy,” Mayweather said. “‘Cause he still a Black man. Mistakes happen. And I can’t say if it is or not a mistake, but things happen in life. And P. Diddy’s business is P. Diddy’s business. It’s not my job or anybody else’s job to go on the internet and stomp him and kick a man while he’s down.
“My take on it is: it’s not my business. I don’t think it’s right at all and I don’t condone it. Even if that happened to my daughter, I would be hurt but that’s a choice that my daughter made.”
In an Instagram post shared shortly after the appearance, Curtis re-posted a video of Mayweather’s comments and took aim at his long-running rival.
He wrote: “[palm on face emoji] they didn’t even ask him about this, Champ is you stupid or is you dumb? Get me the fuck out ya head, you sound like a hater. DIDDY DO IT ? COMING soon.”
Diddy has been accused of several instances of sexual assault since November of last year, all of which he has vehemently denied.
He quickly settled the lawsuit filed against him by Cassie but is still facing three suits in the state of New York.
