Last week, Baller Alert highlighted a comment 50 Cent made on an Instagram post shared by G-Unit affiliate Tony Yayo.
The image Yayo shared – which has since been deleted – depicted former Hip Hop executive and Violator founder, Chris Lighty. Yayo captioned the photo: “TBT Rip Chris Legend @MikeLighty” followed by a series of hand-praying emojis.
Apparently, this upset 50 Cent.
Fif commented on Yayo‘s Instagram post, saying: “Yayo why you shouting Mike bitch ass out.”
Mike’s brother, Chris, was influential in 50 Cent’s career before he passed away in 2012.
Nearly a decade earlier, Lighty helped 50 land one of the largest brand endorsement deals in Hip Hop. He negotiated 50’s mega-deal with Vitmain Water and when Coca-Cola dished out $4.1 billion to acquire the drink, 50 and Lighty cashed out.
It’s unclear, at the moment, when the rift between Mike Lighty and 50 began.

Yo the way I been treated in this industry? Not nicely. Little f4ggot motherfucker like Mike Lighty,
Tried to get someone to pop my chain, Getting robbed dog, is not my game, My nigga hopped out the van real quick, cocked that thang, Reversed the situation, popped his chain, Be happy we ain’t pop his brain,
Aiyoo, I treat that show money, Mike.., Like it’s coke money, aight? So you better have it, consequence could be a casket, I’m beyond forensic, a menace wit’ a matic, I’mma leave ’em in the streets just splattered, Beat and battered, fuck cops, police don’t matter, Bring ’em to me
Shiiiiit I haven’t heard that track in ten years didn’t they bleep out his name on the album?
yeah they bleeped it out, one of the dips told the story to vlad tv and they made an animation to go along with the story of them robbing mike lighty and then going to make a song about it
Lighty also responded with a long rant about 50 but he had a change of heart and deleted it, he dont wanna go to war with Curtis.
mike light and matteo were stealing money off artists they booked for violator …. 50 found out and fired them
After chris died mike saw 50 at the funeral and said he had money
problems so 50 allowed mike to book him some shows to get back on his
feet and mike started stealing again
so 50 got rid of him plus he is also doing business with officer ricky etc
Mike Lighty is a disloyal snake who books shows for 50’s enemies like Rick Ross.
It’s fucked up that Yayo can’t have an opinion,or got to be on eggshells shouting somebody out for fear 50 might get mad,nigga 40 years old and had to remove a post cause 50 didn’t like it
He’s NEVER going to get that long awaited second album out.
YOu see kids? This is how G Unit, Young Money (not to be confused with cash money), and later TDE will go down in flames. MMG keeps their relations consistent. Meek and Ross were buddies for life.
