Rapper 50 Cent is back at it again with the internet trolling. This time he's come for Ashanti and Ja Rule in the same week!
In a feud that has spanned nearly 20-years, 50 Cent has thrown the last, but far from the final punch. The rapper took to Instagram to claim that he has purchased 200 of the best seats for an upcoming Ja-Rule concert just to leave them empty.
“People think I'm mean so go see this. $15 bucks wait what I do now LOL,” he captioned on Instagram, to a since-deleted photo of the tickets being sold on Groupon.
The trolling didn't stop there. 50 went on to post two photoshopped photos of his imaginary visit to Ja-Rule's show.
“LOL Damn Boy you put on a hell of a show. get the strap,” he captioned the first photo.
He then went on to follow that up with, “What a show, I mean just f**king great. Do it again my kid went to the restroom. LOL.”
50 had time this week because, in a since-deleted post, 50 jokes about the recent headline regarding a college campus Ashanti concert being canceled due to a lack of ticket sells. On the post, the Many Men rapper wrote that the Foolish singer should “do Basement parties then it can still feel like it’s lit.”
TMZ caught up with Ashanti at LAX, where she told the cameraman that 50 was a straight-up bully.
“Officer Curtis better cut it out,” she said with a laugh. “I mean it’s obvious [the concert was canceled]… it was a lack of promotion. The school put out a statement to clarify it was a lack of promotion and, you know, they shouldn’t have never did it. So, you know, no hard feelings. Thank-you so much – Curtis is definitely a bully.”
In that spiel, although she was all smiles, Ashanti definitely threw a little bit of shade right back at the rapper by referencing an old nickname related to him being a snitch.
As Vibe reports, none of 50 cents daily online trolling has stopped him from securing the bag. The rapper has made his name a staple in the business industry. He currently has his hand in a variety of ventures including but not limited to management, acting and producing, footwear, apparel, fragrances, alcohol, video games, book publishing, headphones, health drinks and dietary supplements.
Where does he find the time to even use Instagram!? Just recently, 50 signed a $150 million, multi-series deal with STARZ for his hit television series, Power, which was announced to be getting a spinoff.
