50 Cent is in heavy promo mode for his new ABC crime drama For Life, which premiered on February 11. During a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, the seasoned rapper sat down with Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee where the topic of Nick Cannon and Eminem inevitably came up.
The outspoken celebrity said with absolute certainty, he wouldn’t even give Cannon the courtesy of responding to a diss track, which is reportedly the same advice he gave Eminem when Cannon fired off not one but three diss tracks in Slim Shady’s direction earlier this year.
“I would never respond to Nick Cannon,” he said. “Never. The camera is on, right? He’s legendary corny. He’s been legendary corny. He’s been corny forever, like from the very beginning. I thought at one point he was headed somewhere that was like Will Smith-ish ’cause it was kind of comedy stuff. Then, it just never got to its destination. It just never got cool.”
When Yee asked if 50 would give Cannon a role in the forthcoming Power spin-off, he confirmed it’s not out of the question.
“Yeah, if he did a good job,” he said. “He did great in Drumline. He did good in that. Like, I believed him … as a drummer.”
50 Cent Insists He Deactivated His Own Instagram Account
Charlamagne replied, “The only thing he’s not good at is rapping,” to which 50 said, “I don’t know why he’s so passionate about it. Like, what the hell is going on? Bro, look, you suck, bro. You suck, bro. I’mma just tell you the truth. Like, there was never a moment when you said something and we was like, ‘Ooo, bars.'”
50 then dismissed the whole Eminem versus Cannon beef as nothing more than a promotional strategy.
“I look at it like he’s trying to build energy for his show — his talk show and radio show,” he said. “I wouldn’t just punch him in the face if I saw him. I know what that is. I know what you’re trying to do.”
On the topic of Empire versus Power, 50 clarified his problem with the show isn’t Empire actors Taraji P. Henson or Terrance Howard — it’s with the executives behind the show.
“I don’t have a problem with Taraji or Terrance, but the executives did steal from the marketing of Power,” he said. “That’s what I meant then. I was attaching myself to them through the argument in order to be connected to the marketing budget FOX was going to spend.”
Last month, Henson blasted 50 for continuing to bash Empire while speaking to T.I. on his expediTIously podcast.
“Our show has nothing to do with his show,” she said. “We’re talking two different subject matters. Then again 50, do you know what the fuck I had to do to get here? Why tear down another black person? For competition? There are a million other shows you can compete with. To do that publicly? It’s embarrassing.”
Naturally, Fiddy responded in true 50 Cent fashion.
Hahahahaha
Say what you want about Nick Cannon, he’s one of the only rappers who has ever stood up for the unborn. Check his song “can I live”
That is pretty cool actually.
Nah he bad at everything. Don’t make shit up
He only made that bc his mom almost aborted him
lmao at his response to Henson
Eminem is poop pebbles stuck in the toilet. He’s no doubt the best rapper ever to walk to the earth, but he white so he stank. I understand he sold the most and considered the GOAT by basically every rapper, but man can you smell the stank from trailer park. I’d rather listen to Drake sing autotuned vocals that make my mommas vaginal moist
No need. I make your mommas vagina moist enough. Go enjoy some Eminem. I got big momma.
Pal. Personal opinions aside, (I’m not a fan of Eminem) your words read as someone with the intellectual capacity of a 5 year old. I feel embarrassed for you just reading your words. Grow up, you’re pathetic.
He’s right …cannon is corny. I heard is diss tracks. My ears have only just healed up . Wack would be an understatement.
Hearing doesn’t heal we’re permanently scarred my friend
Unfortunately if you listened it’s stained in our subconscious for life
I just began an intense Buddhist meditation course to help filter the lyrics out of my mind
Oh yeah, looks who’s talkin…Mr Candyshop rapper
Yeah but that album went Triple Plat & sold like 1.1 mill in 4 days so thats not exactly the best example. 50’s worst song is still better than Nick’s best.
I could give a fuck…this gap-toothed, drippin’ vaginal wart dissed a dude for singing & then he went & did the SAME thing like a puss. The only reason everyone on this corny little white racist comment section loves 50 is because he sucks eminem’s cock at every turn. Em could piss on 50’s mother’s grave & fif would be like ”u right massa, u right”.
50 cents always cracking on pple but his rap is not all that either his voice and how he flows hes not good like Jayz, Eminem, Tupac, Biggie Run Dmc he 50 cents sounds, mediocre. I do not rhi k Nick is corny think he sounds alright.
It’s not about sound… it’s about bars… Nick construction of his raps are elementary… straight forward… as if he just rhyming words… nothing challenging just my opinion
Biggie is the only good one you named. 2 pac was the tekashi 6ixnine of his generation. Run dmc was shit. Eminem just makes songs with rhyming words no one listens to. And i dont know how the fuck jay z got to where he is because he sure as fuck was the worst in NY along with puffy.
This comment section is exactly the example of why irritates me most about the black community. Why can’t a black man or woman have his/her own opinion? Why it always has to be this collective thinking of ”we’re black so we have to always share the same opinions or you’re not black”. But then you get mad when white folks stereotype you as a collective? Let this brother have his own opinion it’s not like he said Vanilla Ice or Macklemore. Stop all these shenanigans black folks. Dudes like Lord Jamar are frauds, you can’t say if you listen to a certain person or not your black or fake black etc. What has this mentality lead us too? Y’all are keeping the stereotype’s by saying shit ”blacks are sell outs because of this and that”. This is why I keep my family away from this trash mentality and only surround with positive people cause you can’t build with most of y’all negative people smh.
Nigha keep yo family away then nobody gives a fuck. Not like yo family is revolutionizing the black community. The fact is that we are viewed upon as a whole
This comment section is exactly the example of why irritates me most about the racist, white community. They hate blacks, yet can’t ever, ever, ever stop thinking or talking about them? To the point where they even pretend to be black people on the internet. Who raised these hateful, recessive little weirdos?
Clear it up 50.. You wouldn’t punch Cannon in the face just like you personally wouldn’t punch anybody else that you had beef with in the face.. You better than all of them know what marketing is and getting publicity is .. You manufactured beefs to serve your personal BUSINESS agenda. That’s all.. You don’t HATE anybody enough to hit anyone and you damn sure wouldn’t approach any of those so called adversaries without security about 20 deep..
LOL you must not know 50’s history to well…
Just got look up the video of him tossin around GunPlay
And slowbucks getting his chain snatched on a live stage on camera..
It may not always be his hand but if he wants it done it can get done…
what history? the history of dissing rappers that, with the exception of Ja Rule, are all better emcees than he is, then getting shot in his mouth…to the point where he’s dribblin on himself trying to rhyme LOL. The got lucky & hit the jackpot because the white dude that Dr. Dre put on just happened to like his music? Hahaha
Nick is to corny for Wayne brothers movies .
So is eminem to be honest.
”Im sorry maaamaaaa”….I didn’t mean to hurt you”…damn that was some cringe-worthy shit lol.
I remember when em went through his corny Tupac obsession & started wearing durags & actually started trying to rhyme like Pac, then fucked up Pac’s album because he can’t produce to save his life, even though he spent so much time around one of the best producers of all time.
So, see? Em has a corny elements to him aswell…but because your a weirdo ‘stan’ you are unable to think objectively. Sucks for you, like your mom sucks for me.
Many men……….can eat a dick if you dont like 50..Hes a beast ..had a couple corny songs also along the way but none the less.Candy shop is
well yea you know but he got paid for it.Cant knock the hustle..and Nick Cannon was wifed up mariah.cant say to much about him..Whatd the last thing any of you fucks fucked look like.Its cool I’ll wait…
I wouldn’t even call Candy Shop corny (at first) that shit was bangin everywhere for a long time n Ik I got my knob slobbed a few times to that one lol .. It only got corny bc it go so played out with dudes singin along to the shit.. lol
