If there's one thing we know about 50 Cent, he never misses an opportunity for online trolling. This time, the rap mogul-turned-entertainment behemoth is getting involved in a wild back-and-forth on social media featuring Toronto rapper Top5 and none other than Big Meech.
The drama started when an established Drake affiliate named Top5 publicly shared a DM he claims to have received from Big Meech. Top5 reacted instantly to the message, a sharp, "Nephew tap in." Throwing himself a bone instead of rolling with the punches, the Toronto-based rapper brushed off the message as if it were nothing more than a passing joke, calling Big Meech a "rat" and asking 50 Cent to come to the rescue and make sure he's kept out of his DMs.
"This f###### rat thought he could DM me," Top5 mocked in a video before suggesting that 50 Cent "come to get this fake 60-year-old kingpin" before he "crashes out." Not letting up, he then targeted Meech's son, Lil Meech, and directly referenced the young man with a taunting tone, saying, "Yo Lil Meech, call me little n####."
50 Cent wouldn't let a viral moment like this pass him by without hitting back with some classic shade of his own. Reposting Top5's clip, the G-Unit leader made it a short and flippant insult, "He probably want to borrow some money from you gangsta. LOL."
Though 50's post oozed with humor, tensions between him and Big Meech have boiled over for some time. Things escalated between the two when Big Meech appeared surprised with the rapper Rick Ross, who has been in a longstanding feud with 50, at a "Welcome Home" concert. Furious, 50 quickly took Meech to task in an Instagram post, calling him a "rat" and insinuating that he would reveal snitching.
Top5 didn't allow the moment to fizzle out, either. And to add more fuel to the fire, the war of words was only escalated by him posting screenshots in his DMs mocking Lil Meech, making it clear that he was not shying away from the exchange.
For that keeping score, this latest chapter in the never-ending drama between 50 Cent, Big Meech , and their various entourages is just one more in a long line of street politics, rap beef, and social media pettiness. As Big Meech is and always will be a legendary figure of hip-hop culture with his notorious Black Mafia Family (BMF) empire, 50 Cent now owns the BMF brand in the entertainment industry after developing the hit TV series about Meech's life. As such, every interaction they have, whether directly or vicariously, is all the more fascinating to fans observing from the sidelines.
It's tough to predict if this social media feud will turn serious, but people who know 50 Cent well know he's not done squeezing every laugh he can out of it. Whether this turns into a full-fledged war of words, a diss track, or just another episode of the never-ending saga of 50 vs. Meech, 50 will always find a way to keep social media buzzing.
As for Top5, he's turned heads with his brave move, trending for all the right reasons, or maybe not. Time will tell if dropping into the heavyweight brawl was a good move or just another dumb viral session.
