50 Cent recently took to Instagram to mock fellow actor Lil Meech following the announcement that their series BMF will not return for a fifth season on Starz. The cancellation comes after four successful seasons, sparking discussions about its impact on the cast, particularly for Meech, who portrayed a leading role in the series inspired by the life of his father, the notorious drug lord Big Meech.
In a post on social media, 50 Cent shared an image of Lil Meech holding a sign reading “out of work.” He accompanied the image with a caption that questioned, “What next season little [ninja emoji],” further intensifying their ongoing feud. At the time of this report, Lil Meech has not publicly responded to the jab from the hip-hop mogul.
The rivalry between the two has roots that date back to earlier this year when Big Meech was released from prison. The former drug kingpin arranged for Rick Ross—a long-standing adversary of 50 Cent—to perform at his welcome home concert. This move did not sit well with 50 Cent, who expressed his displeasure through a series of social media posts.
Their conflict escalated when 50 Cent shared private messages exchanged with Lil Meech, in which the younger actor expressed disbelief at 50’s actions and reiterated his loyalty. “I can’t believe this man,” he stated at the time. “U act as if I’m your enemy I’ve only showed u love. I’m human I go thru my own sh*t but I never switched up on u.”
Despite these sentiments, 50 Cent’s criticisms only grew sharper. A few days later, he publicly accused Lil Meech of substance abuse during the filming of BMF. He stated, “I think he was uncomfortable with me and MeMe’s relationship,” adding that he had concerns about Meech’s well-being. He alleged that Meech had been using drugs on set, further claiming, “I had to send MeMe to rehab.”
The fallout from this feud has put a spotlight on the dynamics within the entertainment industry, particularly the challenges faced by actors when personal relationships impact professional opportunities. The cancellation of BMF marks a significant moment for the cast, who have invested considerable time and effort into the series, which has garnered a dedicated fanbase.
As the situation continues to unfold, observers are keen to see how both 50 Cent and Lil Meech will navigate the aftermath of the show’s cancellation and their ongoing feud. The implications for their careers and personal lives remain to be seen.
