50 Cent apparently had interest in signing Chingy at one point, and making him the head of G-Unit South, according to the “Right Thurr” rapper.
HipHopDX caught up with Chingy at this year’s Lovers and Friends festival. During the conversation, the rapper discussed with host Jeremy Hecht his experience at the festival, favorite touring moments from back in the day, relationship advice, and more.

At one point, however, the St. Louis rapper made a major revelation about his relationship with 50 Cent.
According to Chingy, their friendship had grown during the 2004 Roc The Mic tour, which led to the rapper allegedly wanting to sign him to G-Unit and appoint him as president of the label’s southern division, but the deal did not go through.

“He wanted me to sing with G-Unit,” he said. “But it didn’t happen. I think it was me and Young Buck he wanted to like make [us] presidents of G-Unit South.”

It’s not just Chingy who has been talking about 50 Cent lately. Recently, former G-Unit soldier, Tony Yayo had to check DJ Vlad over a question he asked relating to 50 Cent’s and Ja Rule’s years-long beef, telling the VladTV host to “shut the fuck up.”
During the chat, Yayo spoke about E-40 after his recent Sacramento Kings ejection controversy. While calling the Bay Area rapper a legend, Yayo also noted that 50 was at the playoffs game. He also listed the numerous beverage distribution deals he has with numerous NBA teams.
Vlad used the moment to pivot and ask Yayo about the recent back-and-forth between 50 Cent and Ja Rule over the latter being a “curse” on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The beef between 50 Cent and Ja Rule continues to be a sore subject for G-Unit, with Yayo previously claiming their mid-2000s feud with Terror Squad was the “realest” beef they’ve ever been involved in.

Tension erupted in the mid-2000s after Fat Joe collaborated with Ja Rule, with numerous diss tracks being traded between both G-Unit and Terror Squad. Things then finally came to a head at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, where the crews exchanged disses onstage and nearly came to blows backstage.
