50 Cent has responded to recent claims made by Wack 100 that The Game wrote the G-Unit rapper’s 2003 track “What Up Gangsta.”
Back in March, during a Clubhouse session, The Game’s manager dropped a bombshell about one of the opening songs on 50’s 2003 breakout album Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
“I’m going to speak on something [The Game] don’t ever speak on,” Wack said before reciting the hook from “What Up Gangsta.” “What up, cuz? What up, blood? What up, gangsta? Who you think wrote that? I’m going to leave it alone.”
During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent responded to the claims, explaining that he didn’t even know who The Game was at that point in his career.
“[The Game] said he wrote ‘What Up Gangsta.’ I’m like, ‘C’mon, bro. You wasn’t even around when we did that. That was before you even came into the picture,'” Fif said. “That was Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. We didn’t even know who he was until after. There’s a point when you [reach] desperation and you’ll say anything.”
Watch 50 respond to Wack’s claims around the 16:08 mark below:
50 also discussed the recently leaked reference track he did for The Game’s “Higher,” on which the G-Unit mogul can be heard spitting some of the same lyrics the Compton rapper used on the final version which appeared on his debut album The Documentary.
He then confirmed he wrote a handful of other tracks on Game’s 2005 album, although the Compton rapper previously stated — in the same Clubhouse chat Wack said Game wrote “What Up Gangsta” — that 50 only wrote “what you heard him say on the record” and didn’t help him write his own bars.
50 Cent Explains Why He Didn't Sign J. Cole: 'I Didn’t Know If Everybody Was Ready For It'
Elsewhere in his Breakfast Club interview, 50 Cent recalled the time Beyoncé confronted him over his long-simmering rivalry with JAY-Z.
Queen Bey apparently stepped to 50 in Vegas while he was greeting Hov because she assumed he was confronting her then-boyfriend.
50 Cent claimed Beyoncé jumped down from a window ledge and was “ready” to fight him, admitting the encounter caught him completely by surprise. It’s unclear when the incident took place exactly.
The second season of 50 Cent’s Power Book III: Raising Kanan premieres on Starz on Sunday (August 14).
NutSack 100 got The Lame lying again SMH.
Everybody knows Game had no part of GRODT. Why would anybody claim different? Wack100 must not believe in the concept of time on some Darius shit.
The Name-Dropper is just saying anything at this point since he knows MidMatic- Subpar vs Average will flop hard and go double pocket lint.
Well… look closely to the video clip “In Da Club”. There is a sequence where you can see The Game dancing with a chick. Considering that “In Da Club” was the lead single of the album and got released before the album dropped, I would say 50 Cent is probably lying here. The Game was definitely around at that moment.
Game wasn’t around when he made What Up Gangsta. That record was made before 50 signed his deal with Em and Dre. And thus was confirmed by Sha Money XL who was there.
Desperate times call for desperate lying….By who? IDC really. We talkin bout music here, that m&m diss is terrible, Game tried hard to create buzz but nah, it fell short. Bet Em don’t even respond. My instinct tells me 50 tellin the truth on this one. Im jus thankful I don’t have to deal with none these fools, especially wack
Except, between 2002 and 2003 when get rich or die trying was recorded and released, The Game WAS around. He was literally in the video for in da club, the lead single from the very album that wanksta was included on. I know Game lies a lot. But 50 lying this time.
I’m quite sure the song was written waaaayyyyy before the “In Da Club” video shoot so what 50 is saying is probably true..he wasn’t around when he first wrote the song.
Most of GRODT was actually written before 50 met Em or Dre. Most was written around POTD (power of the dollar). Not trying to say what’s true or not, because at the end of the day, only they know, not us.
50 shoulda choke slammed her and pulled Hov’s bottom lip over his head and bitch slapped him across the room. You gon step up and act like a man you gon get dealt with like a man.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the song was written around then song coulda been written in 2000. Gane & Wack are proven to be habitual liars.
Game is a good rapper but so salty it makes me sad. He says on “start from scratch 2” that if he could go back in time he wouldn’t have joined G-Unit, we only know who he is because he joined G-Unit. The only commercial success he had was with them. He was there for such a short time yet still eats off of what they did for him. It’s over, stop talking shit about them. Then he took shots at hov yet he samples 2 of his songs on this album and steals his flow. I’m tired of this dude and his nonsense. The butterfly tat on his face, the dancing on the pole, we know the real Game yet he acts like he’s the shit.
How many commercial success has 50 had since GRODT. SFU
A whole diamond album came out afterwards
Well, grodt sold a million in its first week… then, the massacre sold 1.2 million in its first week. Then Curtis sold 740k in its first week. Pretty good run sales wise.
I’m not the biggest 50 Cent fan but The Massacre was a big success it was after that the sales started to really drop
The game is a good rapper but he hasn’t produced nothing lately he’s just jealous because he’s not in the spotlight and doing big things like 50
50 JAY AND NAS ARE STILL ALIVE BECAUSE MENTALLY THEY STILL THINK THEY’RE IN THE HOOD!!!! THEY STILL GOT THOSE HOOD INSTINCTS!!!! AND THEY GET THERAPY TOO!!!! TRUST!!!! THE NINJA LIFE!!!! HAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
