The rivalry between prominent figures in the music industry continues to escalate, as Papoose has seemingly taken aim at 50 Cent in a recent social media post. On January 1, 2024, Papoose shared a preview of a new song that contains lyrics interpreted as a direct response to the ongoing tensions between the two artists.
The feud reignited last week when 50 Cent posted an AI-generated video on Instagram that featured Papoose and boxer Claressa Shields in a humorous context related to the film Black Sister’s Revenge. This post referenced an incident from October 2023, during which comedian Gerald Huston publicly mistook Shields for tennis star Serena Williams. Papoose reportedly confronted Huston after the incident, demonstrating his discontent with the disrespect shown towards Shields.
In his Instagram post, 50 Cent commented, “Now you see, that’s assault! You can’t just go around putting your hands on PEOPLE. LOL Happy New Year!” This light-hearted yet pointed remark further fueled their back-and-forth, prompting Papoose to retaliate with an AI-generated clip of 50 Cent dressed in a revealing outfit, which drew attention and laughter.
The exchange continued when 50 Cent shared a video featuring Papoose’s ex-wife, Remy Ma. In the clip, she reflected on their relationship, stating, “[My] ex might be the least income-making person that I’ve ever been with. Ever.” 50 Cent amplified her comments with a mocking caption, leading to further involvement from Shields, who remarked, “These rappers don’t get they a** beat enough that’s the problem.” Shields then reminded 50 Cent of his past invitation to collaborate on his nonprofit, prompting an acknowledgment of his admiration for her.
In response to the ongoing banter, Papoose took to Instagram again, previewing his new song with the caption, “Best ever… the untouchable ‘PAPOOSE’. If you feel something kill something! 😎.” While the exact release date for this track remains uncertain, his reference to the feud suggests a continuation of their rivalry.
As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how 50 Cent will respond to Papoose’s latest move. This ongoing conflict not only highlights the dynamics within the hip-hop community but also showcases the creative ways artists express their disagreements.
