50 Cent Reveals Advice He Gave Drake In Kendrick Lamar Beef: 'What Did [He] Lose?'

50 Cent has detailed the advice that he gave to Drake during his heated beef with Kendrick Lamar earlier this year.

In an interview with Billboard, 50 revealed that he offered words of wisdom to the 6 God after he was deemed by many to have lost the battle.

“I was telling him, it’s not him. I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you. Don’t let yourself think that for a second,” he said. “On some real shit, I said, ‘They said you lost, okay. Well what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a motherfucking thing, man.”

Fif also revealed he urged Drake to stay in the studio — advice he appears to have heeded considering he has released a slew of solo material and guest features since his feud with Kendrick cooled off in May, and also has a joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR on the way.

“If that’s the moment, you keep your creative energy in the right place, and keep creating,” he recalled telling Drake. “If you slow down because you feel, ‘What the fuck?’ The resistance will make you feel like your material isn’t good.

“Then you gotta figure out how to keep pushing, how to keep creating — because that’s what it feels like to you at the moment. That shit was good for Hip Hop. It made both of them create quality material faster.”

50 Cent also disputed the notion that he should automatically side with Kendrick Lamar simply because of their mutual relationship with Dr. Dre.

“Drake is in that position right now,” he added, referencing the public’s habit of turning on artists once they reach the top. “They trying to resist the music, because he put out some things that are dope. I say a lot of things on social and they get upset because they look and go, ‘Ahh, I’m automatically supposed to be on Kendrick’s side because of my association with Dre.’

“And I love Kendrick, but I’ll say it to you: I didn’t see where what [Drake] did was wack at any point. They giving [Drake] the, ‘Oh you wack, you finished.’ I’m like, ‘Nah, come on.’ That’s the system trying to make some sort of resistance and it’s from the consistency.”

The G-Unit mogul appears to be more than just a supporter of Drake’s after teasing a collabotation with the Toronto superstar.

Alongside a photo of them partying together in Drizzy’s hometown this past summer, 50 wrote on Instagram: “Brain [brain emoji] storming last night me and @champagnepapi gonna get the [camera emoji] rolling biggest ting on your TV GLG.”

His comment suggested that their collaboration will be more likely a film or TV show than a musical project, especially given both men are prolific producers of movies and television series.
