New York rapper 50 Cent is going to war with everyone these days. The hip-hop superstar has unloaded pure digital shots aimed at Maybach Music Group's Meek Mill over his career decisions blurring his dedication to the streets.
50 x Meek
This week, Fif appeared on rap star Lil Wayne‘s Young Money Radio to address Meek’s decision to sign with former correctional officer turned rapper Rick Ross‘ Maybach Music Group and ultimately get signed at Roc Nation for representation to someone with alleged past ties to being an informant.
“I’m not even going to say who I’m talking about. I’m just going to say if you represent prison reform, how do you sign to a correctional officer and you managed by a snitch? Help me, help me with this, man.Β I just look at certain sh*t and I go, ‘Wait, how isΒ that?” (“Young Money Radio”)
High-Key Details
50’s remarks even sparked a response from Meek. Although he didn’t name-drop Fif, Mill questioned why “corny” people were coming at him and his prison reform push.
“They tryna group up on cuz ππππππππ corny n*ggaz lol … reformalliance.com ππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎππΎ they wanna stop this itβs too heavy!” -Meek Mill’s Twitter
Wait, There’s More
In mid-June 2020, Meek’s rap rival Tekashi 6ix9ine didnβt hold back on trying to expose Meek Mill for his publicized anti-snitching stance. Tekashi accused him of having a close-knit relationship with a former law enforcement informant at Roc Nation.
βThe world is full of hate right now. Iβma show you a lot of things right now. Iβma show you how this rap game is full of liars. Iβma show you how this rap game full of rats. Iβma show you how the rap game really works. The rap game donβt want you to know certain stuff. Iβma expose the rap game right now, βcause I got facts. βThe story that spooked Dash revealed how Perez, the wife of longtime Jay Z wingman Juan Perez, became a cooperating witness for the DEA in the 1990s. After her 1994 arrest for possession of 35 kilos of cocaine, Perez struck a deal with the feds, agreeing to wear hidden wires to record her meetings with major cocaine traffickers. Her undercover informant work won her courtroom praise from federal prosecutors after she helped them break up major drug deals in Puerto Rico and Colombia.β Meek Mill, you canβt pick and choose who you want to call rats. This is public information. Ever since Nicki left you, you are a nobody. Did you forget who you was? I forgot what Drake said, what did Drake say? βWas that your tour or your girlβs tour?’β -Tekashi 6ix9ineβs Instagram Live
Before You Go
In July 2019, 50 Cent hit up Instagram to troll Meek. The rap star exposed Mill for allegedly owing a jewelry money.
“ππthis is some funny sh*t, now donβt get carried away doing sh*t I be doing.π€¨#lecheminduroi #bransoncognac” -50 Cent’s Instagram
I sympathize with fifty stance (altho he is rumoured to b sn1tch himself for decades)
But it’s bigger than this. Music industry wants rappers to know their place and be silent on politics. The minute they step outside their box they are attacked from all sides as hypocrites.
This has the effect of teaching rappers to stay silent about politics.
This means the only ppl allowed to talk about police brutality are “respectable” rappers with zero connection to streets.
This filters out a large segment of voices.
This is censorship.
Personally I dislike reform alliance. Their leader went to a secret meeting with trumps ppl, to help create laws responding to uprising’.
They don’t want real change. They want piecemeal reform. And for ppl to stay at home and vote once every four years. Leaving the system intact.
However, if we let Akademiks etc (voice of the police69) shut down debate by saying “u either in the streets or activist pick a side” and saying it’s “hypocritical” to say BLM
