50 Cent‘s alleged role in crafting The Game‘s 2005 debut album The Documentary is well-documented, with the G-Unit general claiming he “gave” his former signee several songs that were meant for his massively successful sophomore effort The Massacre.
But Wack 100 flipped the script earlier this week when he claimed during a Clubhouse session that The Game wrote “What Up Gangsta” from 50’s own blockbuster debut, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (without receiving any credit, of course).
The Compton rapper — who was also on the Clubhouse call — neither confirmed nor denied the statement, but that’s a moot point for veteran Hip Hop executive/producer Sha Money XL, who jumped on Instagram on Thursday (March 3) to challenge Wack 100’s ghostwriting claim.
“all [cap emojis] all lies all for attention,” Sha wrote in the comments section of a post about Wack’s comments.
Of course, Sha Money XL knows a thing or two about the inner workings of 50 Cent’s career having signed the Queens, New York native to his Money Management Group company in the early 2000s, in addition to helping him record early, buzz-building projects such as Power of the Dollar and Guess Who’s Back?.
Sha went on to co-produce multiple songs on Get Rich or Die Tryin,’ including “High All the Time,” “Poor Lil Rich” and the street smash” Wanksta,” and served as the president of G-Unit Records from 2003 until 2007.
Wack 100 Explains How He Stepped In To End 50 Cent & The Game Beef
Much like other former G-Unit representatives, however, Sha Money XL has butted heads with 50 Cent in the past. In 2015, 50 revealed he and Sha fell out over a financial dispute, with the Queens rapper accusing his former business partner of being too greedy when it came to money.
Sha fired back on Twitter by calling 50 a “Walmart ass n-gga” and accusing him of “destroy[ing] what was built.”
50 Cent has yet to address Wack 100’s ghostwriting allegations himself, although he hasn’t been shy when it comes to publicly humiliating The Game in the past.
Revisit “What Up Gangsta” below.
Let’s talk about what’s really going on here. The Clubhouse app is a bunch of grown men sitting around talking to each other all night? And not only that Wack goes gossiping about what was talked about. Grown men being chatty patties. Everybody already knew What Up Gangsta hook was ghostwritten but it was by Banks or Buck I read not Game. Nobody cares if a hook is written by somebody else. This is really about trying to build some momentum for Games new album ever though he’s retired? First the Dr. Dre comments now this, it’s pathetic. He’s Super salt he wasn’t on the Super Bowl
Facts. Also, if this were true, you already know that Game would’ve made this claim a long time ago. As spiteful and petty as he is, you’d think that this would be the first thing he said in his defense when 50 stated he wrote a lot of the Documentary.
This…why are grown ass men, supposed “gangsta’s” on Clubhouse gossiping like bitches? I don’t get it, and who listening to this garbage?
game is my guy and im really not a 50 cent fan at all but im calling cap on this.
game didnt write that and wack always talking some bs
I’m a fan of Game, I don’t think he is as at Aftermath at all when 50 made What Up Gangsta, which was most likely circa 2002. I recall the album was released like Feb 2003. Game would not be discovered and then signed to Aftermath until late 2003.
Wack is funny as hell tho, because he either knows how to get in the news lol. Or maybe he mixed it up with another 50 song.
