  1. 50cent needs to chill, and know when his winning…. It’s no need for all that extra shyt.

  2. This the problem with the race…Everything gotta be a competition…The 2 shows are completely different but both are successful Urban shows.. The shots are unnecessary and 50 needs 2 grow the fuck up…

  3. This bipolar motherfucka! Could’ve sworn he just recently talked about how he respects their show after first acting like a bitch about it…smh

  4. 50cent needs to chill, and know when his winning…. It’s no need for all that extra shyt.

  5. Good to see 50 promoting his friends’ show as well as his own. Some ppl on this post “…can’t read between the lines”

    • Why read between the lines and encode something when that actual true reading is a diss towards Empire??? Thats like me saying “Dude, Blow ME” but if you read between the lines it means I got that Blow. The original meaning trumps every thing a read between the lines meaning could ever hold!!!

      SO I guess ” Your single was .99 cents, mines was $4 bucks” was promoting the other guys single too, huh???

  6. This the problem with the race…Everything gotta be a competition…The 2 shows are completely different but both are successful Urban shows.. The shots are unnecessary and 50 needs 2 grow the fuck up…

  7. Extremely insecure man. He’s stopping his blessings. Learn to welcome competition and success. No hate.

  8. WHY cant he just let it go. 2 totally different shows no competition needed. i totally enjoy both shows
