American rapper 50 Cent mocks old friend Floyd Mayweather Jr amid Showtime lawsuit drama

The renowned American rapper 50 Cent and boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr were once close friends. Their bond grew strong in the early 2000s, when both were at the peak of their careers. Over time, their relationship broke down. Money problems and business disagreements created a deep rift in the once close friendship. Since then, the two have exchanged public insults. The duo have often clashed and engaged in verbal spat. 50 Cent has often used social media to mock Mayweather, especially questioning his business decisions and intelligence.

Recently, the feud returned to the spotlight after fresh reports about Mayweather’s legal troubles. The retired boxer is said to be suing Showtime and its former president, Stephen Espinoza.

According to TMZ Sports, Floyd Mayweather Jr believes he has lost around $340 million due to a fraud scheme. He has accused his former advisor Al Haymon of being involved in the scandal. However, Haymon is not named in the lawsuit. Mayweather claims the financial damage came during his long partnership with Showtime. This legal move has raised questions, especially since Mayweather reportedly earned over $1 billion during his boxing career.

50 Cent reacted in his usual blunt style on his official Instagram account. He mocked Mayweather’s situation and suggested that he was warned long ago. In a harsh post, the rapper joked that the boxer should stop complaining and return to the ring to earn money again. He hinted that Mayweather might need to fight Mike Tyson first. He also joked about other big-money fights, suggesting that Mayweather’s troubles were caused by his own poor choices.

While the legal story made headlines, talk of another exhibition fight also surfaced. Mayweather has retired from professional boxing but still appears in exhibition bouts. He has already fought Logan Paul. Now, rumors suggest a possible showdown with Mike Tyson. Notably, Tyson has also returned for exhibitions, including a bout against Jake Paul that streamed on Netflix.
