50 Cent became a megastar after his debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was unleashed in February 2003. The album debuted at No. 1, selling 872,000 copies in its first week and has since been certified 9x platinum. However, there seems to be a bit of drama regarding the project courtesy of longtime nemesis The Game.
During a recent Clubhouse session with Wack 100, the Compton rapper addressed 50’s well-documented claims that he wrote a good portion of his debut album, 2005’s The Documentary. The Game clarified 50 only wrote “what you heard him say on the record” and didn’t help him write his own bars, before Wack dropped a bombshell about one of Get Rich or Die Tryin’‘s opening songs.
“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.”
The Game didn’t explicitly confirm Wack 100’s claim, but he did go onto talk about the uncredited work he did during his time on 50 Cent‘s G-Unit Records and Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath, alluding to further ghostwriting contributions to “the G-Unit albums.”
“All the shit that I assisted my pen with on Aftermath, from Dr. Dre records to being in there on the G-Unit albums and being in there at the middle or tail-end of Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, I ain’t never said, ‘I wrote this certain song,'” Game added.
“I don’t give a fuck about that, my n-gga. If it’s about writing shit and staying on point with your pen, it’s been 20 years, my n-gga. And it’s certain n-ggas back then that I was rapping with, G-Unit. N-gga, I’m here right now with a song on the top of the Billboard.”
Wack 100 Explains How He Stepped In To End 50 Cent & The Game Beef
The Game has been having a busy week when it comes to controversial statements. In a recent clip from his upcoming appearance on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s Drinks Champs, the “Eazy” rapper claimed Kanye West has helped his career more than Dr. Dre.
“It’s crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than [Dr.] Dre did for me my whole career,” he stated. The Game’s full Drink Champs interview premieres on Thursday (March 3) at 10 p.m. ET on REVOLT.

BOMBSHELL! Artist gets help making a hook on a rap song! This happens every day you fool! This is literally what happens in recording sessions. Man this guy is desperate to get his name out there
LMFAO!! muthafucka…u would know!!! LOL!
lol at bombshell. The writers on this site are fools. I think it was Banks that wrote the “What up blood” part, but it’s an intro a bridge, it’s not verse. This is well known and no secret. 50 wrote over half of gunit and games hooks so really what is this even about
I KNOW everything about Game, hes in my TOP FAV artiest OF ALL TIME… BUT NEVER EVER in the last 20 years has game EVER said that he wrote for 50, hes made ALOT of claims, disses, etc about 50 in the past… this was NEVER one of them…. NOW they are bringing it up? its ALL CAP
For real tho, you’d think Game would brag about ghostwriting for 50 back when he was dissing g unit hard back in the day, that would be an obvious go to, this just seems like something to stir up attention
Wack 100 is the hip hop snitch. He telling everything for notoriety. Wendy Williams type gossip smh
100% wack
You gotta know most rappers write for the dude in front of them. Meek and Wale wrote/write for Ross. Em wrote/writes for Dre. This isn’t groundbreaking???
Game cant even write his own sh*t! All he does is name dropping if you can call it a bar. never seen anywhere dropping a Game bar. GTFOH!
Haha that what I just posted, ain’t no way those are game verses, it doesn’t name drop every other bar.
Fifty could be the guy to set wack straight
Game really rate his pen game! It clear da man want his flowers. If da game ain’t gone give it to him da Boi gone take em. Wen u street certified lyk King Tekashi n bin making hits without writtens just lyk Big n Jay did da respekk come with da game. Shoulda followed da big homie!
Tf did you just say? No sense man
Learn how to spell.
He’d prob be recognized as one of the greats if he wasn’t just a damn cornball consistently
Don’t believe it. GRODT was mostly done before 50 signed to aftermath. The game didn’t even know 50 yet. The game is desperate to sell this album. You can tell he is in massive debt. We are just hearing this now? Game never mentioned it until now? My guess is they trying to bait 50 to come out and go after them to promote his album. 50 and Dre are smart to kill him with silence. Mark my words the game will go after kendrick Lamar soon to get promo.
Yeah, that broad from that dating show who sued him fleeced a lot of bread from him.
I believe this. Seems like the kind of thing Game would write. And Game has claimed this before.
He has a new album coming out. He was prob in the booth during recording sessions but I doubt he helped on Get Rich or Die Tryin. 50 didn’t need any help when he was in his prime. From Power of a Dollar to Curtis, everything 50 touched went Platinum
Not true. Lloyd Banks wrote in the club.. believe it or not
No he didn’t. That song was written for D12 but it didn’t fit for them and it was given to 50. Come on.
The BEAT was made for d-12 dumbass, trynna sound smart and come out looking like a goofy haha
50 wrote In da club in 1 day, the beat was first for Rakim then D12, that’s the truth!
Word, if you a hip hop head, you would know!
your gonna tell me mr. no hook wrote that hook? wack.
if you care about rap everyone should have this.
Bombshell? It’s a hook, MAAAAD niggas haven’t wrote their own hooks or melodies. Not writing your verse is a whole different thing…
No way game wrote that. Not enough name drops.
Lol bombshell…Nobody cares if 50 didn’t write hooks man
Why does it matter now? Its been 20 years just about. Is all this cause he bout to drop an album?
Same way Game wrote Church For Thugs??? LOL!!! He definitely didn’t write that 50 did and I have the original version #FACTS
50 wrote the hook for Church For Thugs. Not the whole song. Get your facts straight.
