50 Cent posted a photo montage on
Instagram yesterday (March 2) that features a photo of Steve
Stoute putting his arm around Diddy and Diddy
face-to-face with Rick Ross, according to TMZ.
"I ain't saying nothing, but something ain't right. Lmao,”
50
Cent said on his post, which has since been removed. A screen shot
is below.
A beef between 50 Cent and Rick Ross, whose forthcoming
Mastermind album is executive produced by Diddy, surfaced
in 2009 over what was allegedly an indirect encounter at the BET Awards.
The conflict led to the release of parody videos and diss records.
In a 2011 interview with MTV News, 50 Cent stated
that his beef with Ross was more of a battle than a beef.
“Over time, if you personalize everything that is said in
each competition," he said at the time. "This is why they changed the
terminology from 'battling' to 'beefing.' It was always that battling
was a part of the culture. They didn't do that until Tupac and Biggie
Smalls' situation. That's when it became taboo to actually mention an
artist's name.”
Last week, Stoute
said that 50 Cent is no longer influential because he believes the
musician hasn’t released a hit record since 2007’s “I Get Money.”
“He hasn’t had a hit in a really long time,” Stoute said.
“I mean, he has not made anything musically that’s changed anything in a
very long time. And I feel like he’s always like gearing up for
something that never happens. Hopefully, now that he’s independent and
there’s no record company to blame, his aggressive content can get on
the air…I think he’s trying to get back, but those guys—you know, music
is a great platform. If you’re an entrepreneur and you have a—you’re
currently active making music. You’re currently active touching people
with albums. That it makes it much easier for you to venture into
business deals that will become successful using the music to parlay it
to get it done. And without having any music that’s meaningful over the
last—probably the last great song he’s made was ‘I
Get Money’…Kanye’s put out three albums, four albums since then.”
50 Cent confronted Steve
Stoute at the New York Knicks game against the Golden State
Warriors in New York Friday (February 28).
