- March 15, 2026
AceShowbiz - 50 Cent recently escalated his ongoing feud with fellow rapper Papoose by targeting both Pap and his girlfriend, professional boxer Claressa Shields, in a series of provocative social media posts.
On the night of March 12, 50 Cent shared an AI-generated image featuring a headshot of Papoose alongside a whiteboard captioned: "The Secret Formula. How to Never Blow Up-1 Rap Career + 25 Years = 0 Hits." The post mocked Papoose's career success and was captioned with a taunt: "You make one hit record and I'll respond. Until then go hang out boyfriend I mean your girlfriend LOL." This post, which insulted both Papoose and Claressa Shields, was removed shortly after.
Explaining his decision to delete the image, 50 Cent clarified in a follow-up post, "If I put up a post and take it down is because I don't want your ugly a*s face on my page. I'm the algorithm PUNK!" This statement underscored his intent to control the narrative and maintain dominance in the online exchange.
In response on March 13, Papoose posted a nostalgic photo of himself with 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, and Lloyd Banks, accompanied by a critique of industry practices. He accused "high-profile rappers" of artificially inflating streaming numbers to manufacture hits, asserting that such tactics no longer work. Papoose captioned the photo: "On this day Curtis breath was smelling like sh*t! It’s a new day in Hip Hop. The days of buying ya own records, to make it look like you got a hit is over. Inflated numbers can no longer make it seem like you’re better than artist who are really 'NICE'. Corny memes can’t save you from Papoose."
He further suggested that 50 Cent was unsettled by his recent diss tracks, stating, "Don’t let him distract you from the fact that I just destroyed him. Soon as I posted that 'AGENT PROVOCATEUR' hit streaming platforms he started panicking!"
This exchange follows Papoose's release of two diss songs targeting 50 Cent earlier this week, titled "Many Men Freestyle" and "Agent Provocateur." The tension between the two rappers first ignited in January after 50 Cent posted disparaging comments about Papoose and Claressa Shields on Instagram, leading to a series of back-and-forth insults online.
The rivalry continues to draw attention within the hip-hop community as both artists leverage social media and music to assert their positions, keeping fans engaged in this unfolding conflict.
