Paparazzi caught up with Biz Markie on Thursday (June 27) as he strolled through Washington D.C.’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday. Unsurprisingly, TMZ asked him about his 50 Cent debt, which he recently paid back with food stamps.
During the brief interaction, Biz reveals why he owed 50 money.
“First of all, let me tell you something about 50,” he begins. “I knew 50 from the early 90s, 80s. We went to the Chinese restaurant one time and he bought the food, and I owed him. Since there’s interest, he got mad at me. I didn’t really want to go to court so I had to pay him back.
“I had to pay him back in food stamps, you know what I’m sayin’. They good luck. ”
Biz added there’s nothing wrong with Fiddy coming to collect.
“If you borrow, you gotta pay back,” he says. “Bottom line. If you’re nice enough to lend the money, you should be nice enough to give it back.”
The Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ OG has been relentless about wanting what’s owed to him. He came after his Power co-star Rotimi for $300,000 and isn’t giving up on Teairra Mari who owes him over $30,000 for legal fees.
But at least Biz is off the hook — for now.
most interesting story i ever read on here
Biz stop the nonsense already. You knew 50 in the 80s? He wasn’t even boo boo in the 80s. Stop frontin Biz we don’t believe you, you need more people. 90s yea but 80s lol give me a break dude
How did this fly over your head? It’s said in jest!
They from New York he didn’t say 50 was a rapper then plus this shit a dumb story he don’t owe him because if he did he wouldn’t allow that type of payment he can’t spend
In the NY, we all knew each other in some type of way or fashion fam. This was way before 50 made it big in Queens. NY. Biz been around bruh…. even I know the Biz and I have not seen him over 30 years but we met and talked and became friends. Nicest guy that you will ever meet and back then he was BIG TIME!!!
