50 Cent has found a way to simultaneously hit back at Dame Dash and Desiigner while also promoting his brand new book.
Fif released his new novel The Accomplice on Friday (September 6), during a week where he was called out by both the music mogul and the rapper. The two men were each responding to comments 50 made in his new interview on Million Dollaz Worth of Game, where he spoke about Dame’s finances and also told the story of how he once passed on signing the “Panda” rapper.

Going live on Instagram this week to address Fif’s claims, Dame’s diamond grills fell out mid-sentence. Meanwhile, Desiigner responded by dissing 50 in a new freestyle.
In a video shared to his Instagram on Friday (September 6), 50 shared his own reply with clips of what the video called Dame’s “dentures” moment and Desiigner’s freestyle, which were interspersed with clips of the G-Unit mogul reading through his new book.

He made sure to note the freestyle was “TRASH!” in the video, then got at Dame in the caption, writing: “[shocked emoji] wow ya man teeth fell out his mouth LOL what a week, all roads lead to Shreveport let’s work. LMAO.”
He also shared two clips of Hurricane Chris in the video: one where Chris was cursing him out for not booking any artists from Louisiana for his new festival, then one where he completely switched up his tone on a local news interview, kindly saying he’d love to sit and talk with 50.
During his appearance on Gillie Da Kid and Wallo‘s Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast late last week, 50 Cent revealed that he was interested in signing Desiigner to G-Unit Records before he joined Def Jam and Kanye West‘s G.O.O.D. Music.
“The n-gga came to me, what’s the n-gga’s name? He sounded like Future. Panda, panda, panda,” he said, struggling to remember Desiigner by his name. “I met with him before he did the deal with Kanye and them.”
However, 50’s enthusiasm quickly waned when he asked the rap rookie to play him what other music he had in the stash.
“I had him at the office. I was like, ‘Yo, let me hear the other records you got.’ And he’s like… ‘That’s it,’” he continued. “And the shit was so hot that he had, I was struggling. But I was like, ‘Nah, I can’t give that n-gga that money. Let them give him whatever the fuck they gonna give him.’”

50 Cent’s reservations were vindicated as Desiigner struggled to replicate the success of “Panda,” which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2016 and has been certified five times platinum.
After a string of follow-up singles and projects, the now-27-year-old rapper departed G.O.O.D. Music and Def Jam in 2019, although he recently reunited with Kanye West by appearing on his Vultures 2 track “Sky City.”
