50 Cent has been feverishly trolling both JAY-Z and Diddy over their respective legal drama, but that doesn’t mean he harbors serious hate for either man.
While no criminal complaint has been filed against JAY-Z, he was recently named in a lawsuit accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl with Diddy — an allegation both have strongly denied.

50, always abreast of the latest news, has been using social media to comment on the developments facing both Hov and Puff, leading many to think he hates both men.
In a new interview with Big Boy, however, the rapper and actor set the record straight on his relationships with his fellow New York Hip Hop icons.

“I haven’t had issues with Puff where I don’t like him. I don’t like things that he would do that make me uncomfortable,” he said, alluding to a previous claim that the Bad Boy boss once offered to take him shopping.
“If it was on the streets side like that, we would be actively doing things to each other — and we weren’t doing that.”

50 then clarified that his long-running rivalry with JAY-Z also doesn’t go any deeper than friendly competition: “With Jay, it’s definitely not that. It’s just being competitive.”
The Power mogul also analyzed JAY-Z’s statement of denial about the rape allegations, particularly his comments about the “heartbreaking” impact of the lawsuit on his family.
Extending a rare olive branch to the Roc Nation boss, 50 said: “I just hope things are all right for him internally. I mean, at the crib. Because in the statement they mentioned his daughter being old enough to … ‘cause she’s about 13. So it’s the same age as this kid who they saying he did something to.”
50 Cent was also asked about his trolling of JAY-Z after the accusations were made public, joking about his role organizing the Super Bowl halftime show.

“I’m just trying to figure out if we’re still doing everything,” he told Big Boy. “Because they will fall back. The NFL, they won’t necessarily be associated to that.”
Alongside the meme of himself from Entourage where he laughs and speeds away in his car, the G-Unit boss wrote on Instagram earlier this week: “Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl [worried face emoji].”
He added: “I’m just asking for a friend!”
Meanwhile, 50 Cent recently elaborated on his claim that JAY-Z did not want him to perform at the Super Bowl in 2022.

Sitting down for an interview with Cam’ron for his new show Talk With Flee, he said: “This is why I was saying I knew what old boy was doing with the Super Bowl. Because he was doing some slick shit. He was doing some wild shit, Cam.
“He was saying to Eminem that the NFL had the issue with me. And I’m like, ‘Well, what’s the issue? Why don’t they have an issue when I’m becoming a partner with the actual teams? But they have an issue with my actual performance? It makes no sense.’”
