Rick Ross may be looking to broker peace talks between Jeezy and Freddie Gibbs, but it’s unlikely that his own deep-seated rivalry with 50 Cent will come to an end anytime soon.
Even as both men continue to see success in their respective careers — Rozay with his prolific musical output, Wingstop franchises and burgeoning career as a best-selling author; 50 with his growing STARZ TV empire — the two continue to trade shots well over a decade after the initial 2008 interaction that birthed the whole beef.
Prior to the release of his 11th studio album Richer Than I’ve Ever Been, which arrived on Friday (December 10), Rick Ross sat down for an interview with GQ in which he took another dig at his longtime nemesis.
Rozay admitted he’s been tuning into 50’s hit STARZ series BMF, before taunting the Queens, New York native by claiming to know exactly how much he’s made from the show’s first season.
“Man, I saw the first [episode]. I was just trying to support the homie Meech, the n-ggas in the street. I could put [my issues with 50] to the side,” Ross said. “I know he may have made a quarter million off the whole season. I’m happy he made that quarter.
“Make sure you put all these details in. I’ll never let you interview me again if you take that out. Keep it. But, look I know he made $250K off the whole season, and that’s good. Tell him I said, ‘Congratulations.'”
When asked if he’d ever turn his hand to acting or comedy, Ross replied, “There ain’t enough money in acting … Your man made $250K for the season doing that. That little season, STARZ TV shit. What channel is it really? … He should’ve just went REVOLT. Just go REVOLT next time. Tell Curtis I said, ‘Go REVOLT.'”
50 Cent‘s name initially came up in the conversation when Rick Ross was quizzed about the possibility of a Verzuz battle between the two Hip Hop heavyweights, and the MMG mogul had an equally snarky answer.
“You got to ask yourself would he come and do a Verzuz with Rozay,” he said. “I mean, you got to ask yourself honestly, would he come and stand next to Rozay in the arena or wherever it would be? That’s really your question. I don’t even think it’s a question of if I would do it. That shit light.”
When Ross was reminded that 50’s catalog — which includes the multi-platinum albums Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and The Massacre — is not to be sniffed at, he replied, “Come on, now. I helped the views on his shows. On TV, he didn’t do nothing, man.”
The 50 Cent shade didn’t end there. Rick Ross also invited former G-Unit soldier Lloyd Banks to “come to the promised land” (presumably referring to his MMG imprint) and referred to 50’s mother as a “bulldagger” while addressing a clip of him listening to “Hate It Or Love It” on Instagram.
Rick Ross Knocks 50 Cent’s Current Rap Abilities: ‘Rozay Probably Couldn’t Save Him!'
50 Cent had his own words for Rick Ross last July when he dissed the “Maybach Music” MC — along with Meek Mill and Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez — during an appearance on Lil Wayne’s Young Money Radio.
“I stay away from silly shit because if you say to me … I’m not gonna say who I’m talking about, right? If you represent prison reform, how did you sign to a correctional officer and you managed by a snitch?” 50 said, alluding to Meek Mill’s ties with Ross and Roc Nation. “Help me with this, man!”
“When asked if he’d ever turn his hand to acting or comedy, Ross replied, “There ain’t enough money in acting “…. funny I coulda swore this fat slob has been “acting” his whole career. And I guess he don’t wanna talk about that bum ass tv show he was on… his acting career flopped like his big titties.
Lmaoooooooo roflmao
I would love for him to say that in the face of Eddie Murphy and Wesley snipes and all the other great actors that he was smiling and laughing with on the set of coming to America 2.
In the long run, I really do wonder if Ross beat 50. Ross survived one of the most humiliating episodes in rap history, but still managed to be relevant and succeeding after like 12 plus years and going.
But he never went platinum once. Even whell ALL his peers were doing it easily. That’s how you know he a b list rapper for life
Port of Miami went platinum as well as multiple platinum singles.. b list commenter
Port of Miami went platinum after 12 years and only once they started counting streams LMAO.
He sound stupid.His rap career is is on downside.
So we grading artist now based on how many platinum records they sold??
Lmaooooooo bro he prob made a quart mil an episode. This guy is a moron
Every time he drops an album now he has 50’s name in his mouth, because all the features is not even enough for this cubic zerkonia to go flea market bronze plated…not taking sides, but I really can’t stand this cb4 azznukka
Problem with the whole beef between them is neither wants to admit either’s accomplishment. Ross, u know 50 been killing it in the TV world. Get real! And 50 knows Ross has been consistent with his moves in and outside of music.
Even if they are from different cloths, the ‘beef’ is old now.
That’s all ?percent facts right there
That’s real they need to say fuck the differences and move past the shit lots of people take side like they know those brothers shit is old I’m glad you pointed that out???
Guess album not selling, huh?
Did this delusional negro forget he had a role on Starz networks “Magic City”… bruh was really trying to get into acting but it didn’t work out and now he’s hating. And Revolt?? LOL What decent original shows does Revolt have? That channel is going bankrupt and laid off most of their staff
He talks about 50 every time he has an album out but Curtis smartened up and doesn’t take the bait anymore. Ross on pace to sell 30k or less while 50 has multiple hit TV shows being renewed and starring in The Expendables. Ross wasn’t saying nothing when 50 went bowling with Gunplay’s MMG chain or put it Ina video with Snoop and Jeezy.
He needs to name his favorite wings 50. He always has 50 in his mouth anyway.
?
You look at it Rozay raps the life that 50 really lived He’s a good rapper but I think on a one on one 50 will smash him
Your speaking facts plus he a corrections retiree with the name of a real kingpin dude whole life false pure e in entertainment ?
It has always been a question of when and where,50 got a titan set for the streets
Rick Riss not hot anymore and he’s salty. 250k for a new show not bad plus he’s getting money from power
250K for the whole season would be bad, if that’s how much he made
Ummm bad how when it’s a franchise with renewed seasons every one needs to get paid and it takes some one with a vision to underpay themselves on a first season as it is taking off u get the biggest check on the series finales up season 6 and all
People get caught up in the 250k but forget he got millions of dollars from the starz deal to make these shows..the 250k is like extra incentive money compared to the millions starz gave him
Rosay gets paid a lot for “acting” …. every bar he spits is fictional ….
?? nice
He need to get gunplays chain back. Mr C.O the biggest DRUG LORD THAT WE’VE EVER SEEN ??
$40 Million in the bank an folks talking about album sales and “recognition.”
40 mill in the bank LOL. So why the IRS gotta put a line on him every other year for unpaid taxes.
Cause at the end of the day…they won’t be remembered for the money they made…only the music and accolades they achieved…now let that sink.
Their children and heirs will enjoy the money. “Accolades” mean nothing.
STARZ gave him $150 million for 3 shows. (Power2, Force and Raising Kanan)
Rick Ross can probably direct a movie about when a gangster gets locked up. Since, Rick Ross worked for the ppl and stole another legendary gangsters name.
He used to search his young black brothas cracks for the drugs he raps about selling.
Fuc Ricky the dicky 50 will chew em up and spit him out.. whoopsie daisy no one could he’s a overweight over-rated untalented fat slob who should focus in making a super-bra for fat- ases with a garbage can for a belly and fukin cantaloupe titles./ big tetas foh Maybach music ? u can fuc with fifty can’t stand non talented artist like rosay but I guess even garbage has an audience
Lyrically 50 Cent ain’t on Rozays level sir…yes he may have hit records but 50 has never been a good pen pusher….let’s just keep in honest… As far as raw talent goes 50 doesn’t have as much talent as Rick Ross has….hate him for his correctional officer days and everything but 50 ain’t writing a solid verse that’s more lyrically sophisticated as Rick Ross does. I like both rappers music but the best thing 50 has ever done in his time is make catchy hooks but very mid bars in the verses and if we really gonna be honest and keep it a hunnit if you listen to Rick Ross’s Freemason with Jay Z Or the whole of Port of Miami both one and two and listen to any 50 Cent record you can tell that 50 doesn’t have a stronger pen than Rick Ross..he makes catchy music which is cool I mean I can never compare Jason Derulo and Bryson Tiller in the same sentence coz that would be unfair to Jason coz he’s a good RnB artist when it comes to making catchy songs but not as sophisticated as Bryson Tiller. Though Jason Derulo can make fire catchy dance music he has no depth unlike Bryson Tiller even though he came before Bryson Tiller’s time.. same with 50 and Rozay…if you want catchy songs with subpar verses just to catch a vibe you can listen to 50 he’s for sure the artist to go to for that…if you want sophisticated bars I’m sorry Rozay kicks 50 way out the ball park…50 wouldn’t even stand bar for bar with people like Benny the butcher or Jay Z or Nas yet Rozay can sit on a song with those artists and fit in comfortably. That’s just the truth
50 is a pen pusher he ghosted for mad artists. You just don’t know hip-hop stick to Bryson tiller
50 is ok…. but please let me know what rappers he ghostwriting for? Don’t forget you said mad artist….
Rick Ross music ? is alright @ best. Br
RR IS USING THIS AS A PLATFORM TO MAKE MORE MONEY THAN HE WILL EVER SPEND. LET 50 MAKE HIS YOU MAKE YOURS ,BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY ALL THE HYPERS OF BATTLE TRYING TO GET PAID OFF YOU BOTH
RR needs to STFU. If not for 50, Ricky wouldn’t have the businesses he has now. 50 made it normal for rappers to go corporate and make bank. At that time, RR was busy being a correction officer. At the end of the day 50 wins. Ross can say he’s supporting but at the end of the day he’s so watching the show. 50 is doing something and winning that RR can’t. 50 already was at the top of the rap world. Note he had TV empire. What’s Ross doing besides talking ish?
No it was Master P that did that first sir
All I know is one worth 40million and the other 4million so who’s winning
In life we meet people who can give good guidance Rick Ross shouldn’t even get involved in that that man has a life of his own.
