Dame Dash has launched a new diss track aimed at fellow music mogul 50 Cent, featuring his artist Nicky Licky. The track includes playful jabs at 50 Cent’s age and makes a comparison to the character Fredo from The Godfather Part II. This release coincides with ongoing exchanges between the two men on social media, heightening tensions in an already charged atmosphere.
The track was previewed in a trailer for Bosses Take Losses, a new series set to air on Revolt. However, initial reactions from fans on social media platforms, particularly X (formerly Twitter), have not been overwhelmingly positive. One user lamented, “What is this man lmao,” while another stated, “This just makes it worse.” Many others shared gifs that expressed their disappointment, suggesting the diss may not have resonated as intended.
The backdrop of this musical confrontation stems from Dash’s recent financial troubles. Earlier this month, he filed for bankruptcy, citing debts including unpaid taxes and child support, among other obligations. As part of this process, he relinquished the rights to the iconic film Paid in Full. Reports indicate that 50 Cent subsequently acquired these rights and is in the process of developing a premium television adaptation.
Tensions escalated when 50 Cent announced on social media that Cam’ron would serve as the executive producer for the upcoming project. Dash responded with a sarcastic message, congratulating Cam’ron for making “Fifty his new boss.” In retaliation, Cam’ron issued a pointed statement of his own, further fueling the feud.
During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Dame Dash addressed the ongoing situation, questioning the credibility of 50 Cent’s claims. “Do you remember when 50 Cent was supposed to be putting out a documentary about Puff on Netflix? Where is it?” he queried. “He’s cap. So, I talk a different language than most people. I’m a boss. So, number one, there is no rights to be bought. So, I knew he was trolling.”
50 Cent responded to Dash’s remarks via Instagram, sharing a clip of the interview and asserting, “Dame going out bad, I don’t know why he would say I’m capping about anything. Award-winning projects take time. Catch 50 Ways to Catch a Killer on Fox Nation now!”
This ongoing feud between two prominent figures in the music industry showcases not only their personal rivalry but also the competitive nature of the entertainment landscape. As fans continue to follow the developments, it remains to be seen how this conflict will evolve and whether it will influence their respective careers further.
