In a surprising twist in the ongoing feud between 50 Cent and Big Meech, the latter has taken to social media to throw subtle shade at the rap mogul, this time by donning a customized jacket inspired by Kanye West’s iconic “Graduation” album cover. This fashion choice is more than just a style statement; it serves as a reminder of the infamous sales rivalry between 50 Cent and Kanye West back in 2007, when the two megastars released their albums on the same day in a highly publicized competition. At that time, Kanye emerged victorious, prompting 50 Cent to vow he would retire from solo albums if he lost—a promise that turned into a significant moment in hip-hop history.
Big Meech, the co-founder of the Black Mafia Family (BMF), has been stirring the pot with 50 Cent, who has previously accused him of being a “snitch” in light of his past legal troubles. In a recent move that many interpreted as a deliberate jab, Meech linked up with Floyd Mayweather, another figure who has had a contentious relationship with 50 Cent. The video of Meech in the Kanye-inspired jacket has generated considerable buzz, with many fans chuckling at the apparent throwback to a rivalry that has long since cooled.
However, it seems Big Meech may be unaware of the evolving dynamics in the hip-hop world. While he is still serving time, the landscape has shifted, and 50 Cent and Kanye West have seemingly buried the hatchet. Kanye has expressed admiration for 50 Cent in recent statements, highlighting his belief in 50 as a key player in promoting black economic independence. This shift in their relationship raises questions about the effectiveness of Meech’s trolling.
Responding to Meech’s antics, 50 Cent took to Instagram to downplay the significance of the jacket, stating that it was merely a case of someone wearing whatever was sent to them and dismissing it as an attempt to “throw shade.” He continued to maintain his stance, suggesting that Big Meech, despite his high-profile lifestyle—currently residing at the luxurious Porsche Towers in Miami—still falls short in the hip-hop hierarchy.
Moreover, the rapper’s ongoing legal narrative has not deterred support from other artists. Notably, 42 Dugg recently affirmed his loyalty to Big Meech, insisting he would not abandon him without concrete evidence against him. This support underscores that, despite 50 Cent’s documentary plans aimed at exposing Big Meech, the latter retains a robust network of allies in the industry, including figures like Floyd Mayweather and Rick Ross.
As the rivalry continues to unfold, fans are left to ponder the implications of Big Meech’s latest moves. With 50 Cent’s reputation for generating buzz around his projects and controversies, the outcome of this latest exchange remains to be seen. Will Big Meech’s attempts to play 50 Cent’s game pay off, or will 50 Cent’s forthcoming documentary prove to be a game-changer? Only time will tell, but the hip-hop community is certainly watching as this saga develops.
