In a heated exchange that has reignited their longstanding rivalry, Rick Ross has fired back at 50 Cent following the latter’s comments regarding Ross’s role in the upcoming Millennium Tour. The feud began when 50 Cent, the founder of G-Unit, shared a promotional flyer for the highly anticipated event scheduled for 2025, which features artists like Omarion, Bow Wow, and Trey Songz as headliners, with Ross listed as a special guest.
In his Instagram post, 50 Cent insinuated that Ross would merely be an opening act for Bow Wow and the other performers, stating, “Get quiet when they got to open for Bow Wow. Boss, he not a surprise guest; he can’t sell a ticket. LOL.” This jab was not the first in their ongoing rivalry, as 50 Cent has previously criticized Ross for his collaborations with Drake following their public dispute last year.
Responding to the comments, Rick Ross took to his own Instagram stories to address 50 Cent’s claims. He questioned the progress of 50 Cent’s film ventures, specifically the construction of a proposed TV studio in Shreveport, Louisiana. Ross provocatively remarked, “What’s wrong? What’s taking so long? I know you want to make your mama one of them walking stars.” This reference to 50 Cent’s late mother, Sabrina Jackson, added a personal touch to the exchange, escalating the tension between the two artists.
Ross did not stop there; he also threw shade at 50 Cent’s associates, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, suggesting they should seek cosmetic treatments. He then provocatively claimed interest in purchasing 50 Cent’s music masters, asserting, “Who owns your masters? I’ll buy your masters. You better shut up.” This comment underscores the financial stakes and competitive nature of their rivalry.
The back-and-forth between the two rap moguls has captured the attention of fans and media alike, showcasing the enduring animosity that has characterized their relationship over the years. As the Millennium Tour approaches, all eyes will be on how this feud unfolds and whether it will impact their performances and the overall event.
With their feud as a backdrop, the Millennium Tour promises to be a significant event in the hip-hop calendar, but the drama between Ross and 50 Cent continues to steal the spotlight, reminding fans of the volatile dynamics that often accompany celebrity rivalries in the music industry.
