50 Cent didn’t resist taking advantage of the opportunity to roast his former friend and boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr, who just announced he’s back in the sport.
The rap mogul took aim at the undefeated boxing champion after reports surfaced about another potential return to the ring.
Mayweather is expected to compete in an exhibition following his high-profile bout with Mike Tyson. News also broke that the boxing superstar reportedly signed an exclusive deal with CSI Sports/Fight Sports. That was enough to spark a reaction from Fif.
According to the Instagram page 2Cool2Blog, 50 posted — then quickly deleted — a sharp message directed at Mayweather. “Broke gotta box till ya drop champ, ain’t nobody gonna watch that s**t LOL,” he allegedly wrote.
As usual, screenshots were captured just before the post disappeared. The latest jokes from 50, the undefeated former champion, follow a year of beef between the two former friends.
The jab marks another round in a feud that stretches back more than a decade. 50 Cent and Mayweather once moved as a unit.
They promoted fights together and floated business ventures. Their partnership, however, unraveled amid financial disagreements.

Since then, 50 has repeatedly mocked Mayweather’s wealth and literacy in interviews and online. He even slipped a joke about the boxer into a recent commercial appearance. Mayweather, for his part, rarely responds directly.
Outside the Instagram smoke, Mayweather is battling legal issues. He has filed suit against Showtime, alleging the network assisted a former manager in a scheme that cost him hundreds of millions. The lawsuit centers on claims of financial misconduct tied to past boxing events.
Still, 50 appears unmoved by the allegations. Each new boxing announcement seems to reignite his commentary.
In hip-hop and boxing, rivalries rarely fade quietly. As Mayweather gears up for another exhibition, fans are watching two arenas. One sits under bright lights. The other lives on social media, where 50 Cent never hesitates to throw a punch.
