50 Cent is back in his favorite lane—trolling with purpose—and this time his target is former Black Mafia Family (BMF) boss Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, with Power Book: Force actor Kris D. Lofton caught squarely in the middle.
On Tuesday afternoon (Dec. 23), the G-Unit mogul took to Instagram after a screenshot began circulating showing Big Meech sending a direct message earlier that morning to Lofton, who plays volatile Chicago drug dealer Jennard Samson on Starz’s Power Book VI: Force. Meech’s message was brief but loaded with implication: “Wassup fam let’s work!!”
That single line was all 50 Cent needed.
“Work on what 🤷🏽♂️😕,” 50 wrote in his caption. “He’s an actor, he don’t want to sell dope fool. You watching to[o] much FORCE 🔥.”
In classic 50 fashion, the comment doubled as a joke and a warning shot. On one level, he was clowning the idea that Lofton’s fictional street persona translates into anything real. By stressing that Lofton is “an actor,” 50 drew a sharp line between scripted crime drama and real-life consequences, suggesting Meech had let television fantasy blur his perspective.

The post also reopened a long-running rift. Once business partners through Starz’s BMF series, 50 Cent publicly fell out with Big Meech and his son Lil Meech in 2023 after the pair appeared to align themselves with Rick Ross and Floyd Mayweather—two of 50’s most visible rivals. Since then, 50 has repeatedly mocked both men online, using social media as a stage to reassert control over the narrative that once tied their names together.
Lofton wasted no time distancing himself from the situation. Posting the screenshot of Meech’s DM to his Instagram Story, the actor responded bluntly: “Not a chance Demetrius…. 😂🚦🚦🤞🏾.” The laughter softened the blow, but the double traffic lights sent a clear message: full stop.
The Power Universe quickly rallied behind 50 and Lofton. Power Book II: Ghost actor Gianni V. Paolo jumped into the comments under 50’s post, tagging Lofton and laughing it off: “@krisdlofton maaaaannnn 😂.”
Taken together, the exchange highlights 50 Cent’s ongoing mission. The Power franchise may thrive on drug-game mythology, but 50 remains determined to remind everyone—especially Big Meech—that television is fiction, influence is real, and he’s still the one running the show.
