Undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has taken his feud with G-Unit head 50 Cent to another level after involving slain teenager Mike Brown's family into their rift.
Instead of entertaining a read challenge from 50, Mayweather suggested the Unit leader to use his money toward helping the Missouri teen’s relatives.
“I was thinking of something, you know, when you asked me about 50 Cent. If you want to donate money, donate money to the Mike Brown family,” Mayweather said. “I shouldn’t stop you. Our company, me and Leonard [Ellerbee], we have been donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to different organizations for years without any media, without getting credit. … The best thing for 50 Cent to do, and there are no hard feelings, is to give that $750,000 to Mike Brown’s family.” (Yahoo! Sports)
When asked about Fif’s challenge by a fan, Mayweather playfully responded a few days ago.
“That’s all he challenged me?” Mayweather told the fan when asked about the $750,000 challenge. “He gotta raise the stakes. Let him know. Do he still make music? I ain’t heard him in a while.” (Showtime All-Access)
50 jumped onto his Instagram page last week and jabbed Mayweather with an Instagram post poking fun at his reading/writing skills.
“Deer Tiny, I just dropen yu a line, to let yu no I lub yu berry much. Fuk T. eye, he don Lub yu like I du! Senseerly Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather,” a photo read on 50’s page. The rap star captioned the image with: “@floydmayweather I love you like a brother. Call fanny, and tawana your sister’s love your crazy ass.check on Devon you are forgetting the people who matter boy. If you want to fight I’ll be in Vegas next week.#SMSaudio” (50 Cent’s Instagram)
Fif took to his social media page to expose Mayweather’s reading ability in August.
“This is a special challenge for you, Floyd!” 50 Cent says in the clip. “If you can read one full page of a Harry Potter book, I’ll give $750,000 to whatever charitable organization you want to.” Standing on a picturesque patio over a green backyard with a sparkling pool, the “Animal Ambition” performer then grabs his bucket of ice water and enthusiastically tosses it to the side.

makes sense to me. Instead of focusing on negative stuff
Why don’t regular people who lose someone get tons of money then, dumb idea. 50 aint dumb and won’t be doing that shit
Actually, if by regular you mean non rich, non celebrity citizens of the working or underclass, the Brown family ARE regular people. The reason others may not get tons of money is because their deaths may not have been perceived as a grave injustice or they passed on through accidental, incidental or natural means.
it will bet a good look for 50 cent if he did that.
Every time I read a story about these two cats it reminds me of that first verse Gza said on Paper Plates….
Why word it to make it seem like it was going to be negative SOHH?
This is a joke beef Mayweather don’t know how to react to so his bringing up the serious issue of the whole Mike Brown thing to cover the fact he ain’t as funny as 50. Lame move.
Or maybe Mayweather just doesn’t want to indulge in “joke beef” with 50 at all,
and he’s telling 50 “instead of ALWAYS trying to tear down other black men and being a tap dancing coon for these white folks, 50 should take that money and donate it to something positive”..
Just ask for fight with Fiddy, y’all both boxing promoters
50 will donate if floyd read the book, I mean who gives a xxxx, why not give it to brown family since u care about floyd reading so much..
Read cat and hat ni$$a
you should learn the title of the fuckin book…
Nigga please THE CAT IN THE HAT
That’s better muthaphucka…lol
Lol
lmao… this nigga doing everything but proving that he knows how to read… he couldve went on jimmy kimmel and proved fif wrong long ago.. and get free promotion for the fight… instead he dodging and deflecting…
Oh so now if anyone calls someone out about some buffoonery type of sh!t, that person needs to come out and prove it’s not true?
Pac didn’t have to prove he was clean but asked for proof after Marquez put him to bed.
Dyslexia is not a joke, Floyd can read, his comprehension is just different.
He’s making a lot of sense and I agree with him but he needs to stop burning money, throwing it away, and making it rain in the clubs. He can help the Mike Browns, homeless people, or anyone truly in need.
Both of these dudes is acting like scorned females
Both these guys are total clowns. While I find 50’s antics to be stupid and quite lame, he was Floyd’s bff. Thus, this shouldn’t surprise Floyd at all. As a matter of fact, Floyd participated in some of this buffoonery with 50 like bringing Ross’s kids into a beef.
He was a fool too let 50 drag him into that. I’m sure he regrets that !
That was all 50, Mayweather don’t move like that, bringing kids in between the fued. That’s all up & down 50 M.O., definitely one of 50’s snake tactics.
It wouldn’t be a good idea because they’re alot of Mike Browns in the world that get treated the same way and no one rushes to their aid! If he did that then world expect all celebrities to do that! I mean the gesture sounds great but how bout both of them do a silent donation to the family without no one knowing about it, doesn’t have to be alot but something that will help get them through! Anonymous giving is the best giving and if Floyd and 50 had any fucking sense, then they could stop this fuck boy shit and both do some good! Not being able to read as a grown adult is serious and he needs to take that seriously because even tho you got all the money, you still don’t have any knowledge of self because you hire people to tell you what it is and that’s lame! Everybody has some kind of handy cap, shit 50 can’t throw a fucking baseball see what I mean! ?lol
I think your taking it too deep. The point is 50 is being childish and Floyd gives him a reality check by implying there are more important matters in the world that need attention.
Kinda wack on Floyd’s part to put something so serious with something so petty. plus 50 & Buck been donating to Mike Brown’s family.
Word? What’s your source for this info bro?
I call BS, I believe that would have been mentioned in the story and Mayweather wouldn’t have recommended that idea if 50 & Buck donated? The fuck would Buck donate for anyway? The man is a charity case himself. Floyd barely responds to 50 and the rare time that he does he gets called out for telling 50 to shift his attention to more important matters? I bet you were one of the people riding 50 when he called Mayweather out on his reading skills, when the man is dyslexic and has career where he often takes blows to the head. That is wack and petty my friend, to hit someone on a learning disability when that is a serious issues.
Good we got discuss back. Floyd just k.o’d 50 no punches were thrown, T.I attacks from behind with a wack song, nobody notices. TBE
