50 Cent returned to social media this week with a new music video for his collaboration with Max B, titled “No More Tricks, No More Tries.” The visuals appear to rely heavily on artificial-intelligence effects, creating digitally rendered scenes that frame the song’s confrontational tone. Throughout the clip, the artist delivers pointed lines directed at several figures he has sparred with publicly, including Jim Jones, Maino, Fabolous, and Dave East. In one sequence, a stylized image places Jones inside what looks like an interrogation room as the lyric lands: “Snitching you better not.” The moment reflects the track’s mix of satire, commentary, and competitive bravado.
After 50 Cent posted the video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, audience reaction unfolded quickly. Some listeners expressed disappointment with the use of A.I. imagery and the song’s approach. One critic wrote, “N***a talk about how rich he is and come and deliver AI slop & music slop! Stay behind the camera and off microphones homey.” Another user responded with surprise, saying, “Dang I checked if this was a fake account three times. What happened to you 50? This is week af. This is not the same person who disrupted the industry with a diss track. I’m calling Jim Carrey on this one.”
Other fans approached the release with a lighter tone. Some pointed to moments they found humorous within the lyrics. “Best part of this whole song is him telling Dave East he don’t even count,” one listener commented, adding laughing emojis. Another wrote, “The masses won’t like this but I’m not like them lol this is [fire emoji].” The range of responses illustrates how quickly new music from a veteran artist can spark debate across online platforms.
50 Cent reignites tensions after Jim Jones criticizes his Diddy docuseries
The caption accompanying the video included another message from 50 Cent, suggesting the conversation may not end with this song. Referencing T.I. and people around him, the rapper wrote, “Yall thought I was talking about the Cosby’s. I’ll deal with Bill later. I am the algorithm.” The comment hinted at ongoing friction that has surfaced periodically in recent months.
Some of that tension traces back to remarks made on the Let’s Rap About It podcast, where hosts discussed 50 Cent’s Netflix docuseries “Sean Combs: The Reckoning.” During the conversation, Jim Jones, who appears on the show, criticized the project’s tone. “You don’t want nobody doing a documentary trying to make your whole character look weak. That’s petty behavior … It’s really not a documentary; it’s more like a mockumentary,” Jones said. The exchange later spilled onto social media, where both sides traded comments before the podcast crew released a freestyle titled “Squatter’s Rights.”
