50 Cent set his sights on Grammy Award-winning audio engineer James Cruz again, this time following a recent interview with VladTV. On Saturday (July 9), the G-Unit boss shared a screenshot of a headline that read, “James Cruz: I’m Disappointed 50 Cent Didn’t Allow G-Unit To Reach Its Full Potential.”
The television executive accused Cruz of being addicted to cocaine, among other things. As he wrote in the caption, “This Coke head James Cruz worked for Chris Lighty, he didn’t make no deals. he was just in the meetings. Puffy played with his butt in Miami, ask him about the weird shit they into don’t ask him about me.”
Cruz has caught 50 Cent’s wrath before. Following an interview with Drink Champs in which Cruz was mistakenly referred to as 50 Cent’s manager, the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ rapper quickly issued a correction.

“This guy never managed me, I don’t fuck with Cruz like that,” he said at the time. “He a whole rat, told on D Rock in the Lil Kim, Fox Hot 97 shit… Keep my name out ya mouth coke head. Talking about Chris was your man, you a sucker, don’t get me started.”
