G-Unit boss 50 Cent and Dipset leader Cam’ron have social media simmering after linking up this week nearly a decade after engaging in a short-lived rap beef.
Both hip-hop veterans went to Instagram Tuesday (August 9) with pictures of each other and Killa Cam gave 50’s hit “Power” series a big co-sign.
Last night (August 8), Cam performed at rapper Drake’s Summer Sixteen New York tour stop.
In 2011, Cam reflected on his status with 50 having previously feuded with him.
“I don’t have no problem with 50. 50 cool with me,” Cam said. “It was good for hip-hop. We had our little hip-hop beef or whatever you wanna call it, but ain’t no problem. Jim [Jones] and Juelz [Santana] do stuff with 50 and they camp all the time. I don’t have a problem with 50 at all. It is what it is. We had our little discrepancy, and we moved on from it.” (MTV)
A couple years prior, the New York native talked about beefing with various rap stars including 50.
“I’m not making up fake, imaginary beefs,” Cam said in an interview last April. “I’m not just jumping out for beef for no reason. When I went at Jay-Z, it was a lot of inside stuff that went on at Roc-A-Fella that we don’t need to go in to…There’s been a lot of times that I been wanting to do something but couldn’t because of Dame [Dash]. The 50 Cent thing, look you dissing, I took it as Jim [Jones] and Diplomats. Whoever else you could think of, Nas. The Nas situation. You got on the radio and said that Cam and [Funkmaster] Flex is ugly and Angie Martinez and N.O.R.E., whoever’s wack. It wasn’t because I attacked any of these people, it’s kinda all on defense, it’s always something that somebody did to me first.” (Miss Info)
