50 Cent is once again weighing in on the celebrity gossip swirling around internet rumors. This time, regarding a claim made by boxer Gervonta Davis about retired fighter Floyd Mayweather, who he said was being held hostage in Dubai in a series of tweets he had previously posted.
Davis recently claimed that Mayweather was “in Dubai and he couldn't leave because he was getting n-ggas money and not doing what he was being paid to do.” Davis also claimed that Floyd needed “a cable” to get “home.”
“Let me call 50 we gotta get this n-gga home by monday,” Davis tweeted, to which 50 responded, “Ow this shit is real.”
“[Davis] I wouldn't say no to something like that if it wasn't official,” the G-Unit CEO continued. Me and Champ hang out, but that's my brother. I got some money if you need it!”
For those wondering (why do you care— you know you do)here's how we got here, according to HipHopDX:
Beef between boxers stems from 'Pretty Boy Floyd' saying earlier this week that other fighters were imitating his flash without doing the necessary work.
Davis took this as a direct insult and in return dropped the demand for hostages.
Mayweather's social media reports he was indeed in Dubai earlier this monthalthough there is no evidence that he is being held there.
Fif, of course, isn't shy about trolling Floyd Mayweather, as he did in February when he grilled the boxer for his stance on Diddy's recent sexual assault allegations.
Lawd, what did Mayweather say about Diddy? (Not that it would take much for 50 to go into troll mode behind the deeply troubled Bad Boy mogul.)
“I'm not going to talk bad about P. Diddy,” Mayweather said The Pivot Podcast at that time Diddy was accused of rape by singer Cassie and other women. “Because he's still black. Mistakes happen. And I can't say if it's wrong or not, but things happen in life. And P. Diddy's business is P. Diddy's business. It's not my or anyone else's job to go on the internet and stomp and kick a guy while he's down.
“My point is: it's none of my business. I don't think it's right at all and I don't condone it,” Mayweather continued. “Even if this happened to my daughter, I would be hurt, but this is a choice my daughter made.” (For the record, no woman has ever chosen to be raped or sexually assaulted, if that's what Mayweather was implying.)
In February, 50 noted on Instagram that he “wasn't even asked about it,” in response to Mayweather's comments.
“Champ are you stupid or are you dumb? Get your head off me, you sound like a hater. HE DID IT; COMING soon,” Fif's post continued.
Maybe it's a social media thing, but can anyone remember a time before now when rappers and boxers were so into celebrity gossip and man pussy? Weird, right?
