AceShowbiz - 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock Floyd Mayweather Jr. following the boxer’s recent $340 million lawsuit against Showtime Networks, AllHipHop reports. The rapper ridiculed Mayweather’s legal battle and referenced his upcoming exhibition fight with Mike Tyson, as well as a potential bout with Terence Crawford, highlighting the tension between the two public figures.
Per Sports, Mayweather alleges that Showtime, along with its former sports president Stephen Espinoza, knowingly participated in a scheme engineered by his former manager Al Haymon to divert fight revenues into accounts controlled exclusively by Haymon. The lawsuit claims that after Mayweather’s new management team requested detailed financial records, Showtime admitted some documents were lost or inaccessible. Despite Mayweather’s claim to have generated hundreds of millions of dollars for the network, these missing funds have prompted him to seek restitution through legal channels. Paramount, Showtime’s parent company, dismissed the allegations as unfounded and pledged to contest the claims in court. Notably, Al Haymon is not named as a defendant in the suit. Tribune also noted that 50 Cent publicly reacted to Mayweather’s recent legal troubles involving paternity and fraud issues, further fueling their public feud.
On his Instagram, 50 Cent shared a video clip of Mayweather praising Donald Trump as a great president and businessman, using it as fodder for his latest jabs. This came amid 50 Cent’s history of mixed opinions toward Trump, having at times expressed both support and opposition. The rapper frequently uses social media to comment on news events and mock public figures, continuing that pattern here in response to Mayweather’s legal and personal controversies.
50 Cent rose to fame with his 2003 album Get Rich or Die Tryin' and is known as a hardcore rapper with a notable acting career, including roles in films like Home of the Brave and Righteous Kill. His outspoken presence on social media and his involvement in entertainment continue to keep him in the spotlight.
