Public exchanges are nothing new for 50 Cent, who has built much of his persona around direct responses. This week, he addressed remarks made by comedian Katt Williams in a recent Netflix special. During the performance, Williams joked about the rapper’s appearance, describing his head as square-shaped. The comment quickly made its way to Instagram.
50 Cent replied with a post that mixed humor and irritation. “Kat think I set him up in SHREVEPORT, he was talking to David Chappell back stage and didn’t see Michael Blackson hit the stage,” he wrote. “I think he said he smoke CRACK, or he was a crack head 😆 that’s why he mad at me. LOL.” The message circulated widely among fans.
Soon after, his tone shifted. In a second post, he struck a more conciliatory note. “Damn KAT shooting at me, that’s my man,” he wrote. “Alright I’m taking a break before I don’t have no friends. Ok I got a box head, it’s cool.” The exchange suggested a willingness to treat the joke as just that.
Verzuz Talk Turns Personal Between T.I. and 50
The back-and-forth with Williams came as another dispute resurfaced. During an appearance on Nightcap Live, T.I. accused 50 Cent of declining a potential Verzuz battle. “When I was talking to Swizz [Beatz], I was like, ‘Yeah, I’d do it, but the motherf*er that really would be the one, it ain’t gon’ happen, but if Gucci [Mane], Young [Jeezy] and Gucci, that’s the one,’” T.I. said. He continued, “Then I called my man, I said who I wanted. I said I wanted 50. He don’t want no smoke, though. I called my man out, he don’t want no smoke. He ducking smoke.”
50 Cent answered that claim on Instagram as well. He shared footage of a Crime Stoppers Atlanta commercial featuring T.I., adding the caption: “I know Atlanta pick and choose who they support. But yall gotta do better. LOL keep my name out ya mouth !” The exchange quickly gained traction online. What began as talk of a music battle shifted once again into personal territory.
