50 Cent And Floyd Mayweather: A Bitter Feud Unfolds On Social Media

In case you haven’t heard, former BFFs 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather are in the middle of a very bitter and very public social media war. To recap, back in 2012, Floyd and 50 were pretty much inseparable buddies. They partied together, trained together, and vacationed together. At one point, they even had plans to launch a boxing promotions co-owned company called TMT Promotions, which stands for "The Money Team." However, everything changed when they had a huge falling out. In November 2012, fans of this fairy tale bro-mance were shocked when 50 Cent tweeted that he was no longer involved with TMT Promotions. He also claimed that Floyd screwed him out of a $2 million investment. In response, Floyd unleashed a barrage of insulting tweets, essentially branding 50 Cent as an "ass kissing bitch" with a fading career. Ouch!

The feud simmered for a while, but recently, Floyd reignited the tension during an interview with M-Live.com. In that interview, he insinuated that 50 Cent, Nelly, and T.I. were struggling in their careers, while he continued to rake in massive checks. No longer willing to sit back and take the insults, 50 Cent fired back with two Instagram videos aimed squarely at Floyd. In the first video, 50 suggested that Floyd should be angry at Nelly instead, claiming that Nelly had an affair with Floyd's first baby mama and then stole his fiancée, Melissa. Ouch!

In the second video, 50 escalated the feud by alleging that Floyd can’t read. To add insult to injury, he offered to donate $750,000 to Floyd's charity of choice if Floyd could read one page of a Harry Potter book "out loud without starting and stopping or messing up." This video quickly garnered nearly 300,000 views and over 100,000 comments on Instagram, further fueling the ongoing drama.

The rivalry has continued, with 50 Cent even sharing a series of humorous photoshopped images that depict Floyd in various comedic scenarios, including one where he struggles to read Dr. Seuss's "The Cat in the Hat." Jimmy Kimmel even jumped into the mix, inviting Floyd onto his show to read Harry Potter, to which Floyd did not respond. Meanwhile, the feud has spread like wildfire across social media and mainstream news, keeping fans engaged and entertained.

Finally, late Saturday night, Floyd fired back with a powerful tweet that read, "Read this: $72,276,000.00. God bless." He accompanied this with images of two hefty paychecks, showcasing his earnings. Although Floyd did not directly address the illiteracy claims, his tweet certainly made a statement. However, it didn’t silence 50 Cent for long, as he quickly posted another video challenging Floyd's financial management and urging him to surround himself with better people.

In closing, the feud between 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather is a fascinating spectacle that captivates audiences with its mix of humor, drama, and celebrity rivalry. As long as both parties continue to engage on social media, we can expect this saga to unfold further, providing endless entertainment for fans and followers alike.
