Hahaha... I don't know these people

I think if 50 cent says that he hates someone we should listen, he's been getting vindicated a lot recently.

I appreciate his Silky Johnson levels of commitment.
HeywouldJablowme
Fuck them both

50 and Em are 2 of the pettiest human beings alive and im here for it, i love both of them. LOL.
CorgisButtsDriveMeNuts
Who is supposed to be hater here? If a guy with literally millions and a lot of free time can't read it's entirely his fault.

50 once bought out the first four rows of a Ja Rule concert so he had to come out and perform to a smattering of people far away. His rivalries seem fun.
VaultGirl69
Is this even real? I don't know why he'd go out of his way to beef with an old boxer.
creamcheezus
They used to be close friends. Also he's not an old boxer.

Remember though, 50c was the one who thought a grapefruit had something to do with GRAPES at a restaurant (according to Aziz Ansari who claims to have witnessed this anyway). I'm not mocking, my point is that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

NChomsky
Yep. All he did was "joke" that he'd get Ansari beat up. Turns out it's true I guess. I suppose it's to be expected with the "education" system we have in this country. Incredible.
JohnEdwa
Your language is silly though. Grape is a berry that's been known about for thousands of years. Grapefruit is a cross between a blood orange and pomelo accidentally made in late 1700s', and was named that because "it tastes like grapes". Which it certainly does fucking not.
NChomsky
What part of what I said was silly and why?

ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
In fairness, I don't put much stock in the claims of a man who is, let's be generous, sexually aggressive and enjoys shoving his fingers in someone's mouth without their consent beforehand. (I mean Aziz)
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
My aunt is a doctor who specialises in childhood genetic diseases. She didn’t know green apples existed till she was 29. She cited the “little green apple” song as reinforcing that idea.
BeatsBearsBattlestarGallactica
Sometimes we forget just how much our parents shape our relationships with fundamental things like food. My dad and aunt came from a family that was baked beans, hot dogs, brown bread and veg from a can. My mom came from a family that grew zucchini and yellow squash and taught my dad what vegetables and fruit were fresh.
masteryoplait
To be fair grapefruit isn’t a common dietary choice in the hood. We all have blind spots for seemingly common things.
graehall
Food deserts are real in the inner city so mocking someone who grew up in one for not knowing all their fruit & veg is a bit shit
Nahnahyeah
Yeah, there are plenty of food deserts in NYC where people would never have seen what suburb grocery stores would consider a regular fruit.
NoCutsNoButsNoCoconuts
I seem to recall Mayweather responded challenging 50 to get a video of his eldest son telling him he loved he him

Ouch.

Floyd kids don't love him either

Why would Floyd's kids not love 50?
wandermanspacebot
Because there are many of them?

wandermanspacebot
Many, many men...
OlGingerBastard
That's quite the self burn, as the issue with 50s kid is that 50 won't give him money, and Mayweather obviously buys his kids love
WillemHellfire
How much did the kid want/"need"? I seem to recall 10k, maybe less, per month.
Jamesstin
Yeah cause that's totally the only two ways those situations can go. Just some advice though, whenever parents esp wealthy ones try claiming they won't give their kids money when it's some shit about work ethic/"ungrateful" , nine times out of ten; it's internal family conflict and it typically centers on the offspring "rocking" a particular boat the parent just won't tolerate, often seems it's the offspring stating they were neglected/abused/or just selfishly raised & mom/dad getting upset.
JamesFaction
Nope, Curtis stands on principle on this, he's said in interviews for a few years now he doesn't want to give his family any moey
howunfortunate9
Judging by those he recently rubbed shoulders with, that seems to be more from a priority focus on money and unwillingness to part with it more than any "personal responsibility" value system. More like the common, unsurprising "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" philosophy that people who came up without money then got help getting money often land on, because, logically, sometimes a long memory of having nothing makes one loathe to part with it for anyone once they get a good bit of it.
JamesFaction
For sure, i wasn't really going into his philosophy around why, and his vibe does jibe with what you describe.
nomorehate
You got it! My parents had a college fund set aside for me, that is until I came out, at which point they got a shiny new camper and my college fund disappeared!
masteryoplait
Diddy’s indictment for such heinous crimes sort of validates 50’s long running hatred for him. 50 disliked him when in their first meeting Diddy sort of said something gay or sexual to him according to one YouTube video.
WeaponizedJerk
Hating someone because they said something gay is justified? What?
kaarbaakimgr
Unsolicited sexual advances are wrong, regardless of the genders and preferences involved.
WeaponizedJerk
Then they could have left out "gay" and I would have agreed with it. There was no reason to include that as if it's a good reason to start hating.
famicus
I think the real objection was it basically felt like grooming. But yes I'm sure if we dig into 50 enough we'll find standard 90's homophobia (his career blew up in the early aughts, but he has recorded with Biggie as well).
WeaponizedJerk
Agreed.
Jhi85
I think diddy told him he wanted to take him shopping so he could buy him clothes. And 50 was like, "wtf???!". Lol
OverpricedCrayon
That’s pretty hilarious
masteryoplait
Yes that was it. That’s started the whole thing. Who offers a grown man to take hike shopping.
RayneOfSalt
I've offered to and have taken my dad, my brother, my brother-in-law and several of my male friends shopping. Why're you so insecure about shopping?
Lexgeddon
It's a pretty common power move, basically saying, "You can't dress like that at this level."
Jhi85
Diddy does. 🤣🤣
And what makes it worse, he calls men "daddy". 🤦🏽🤦🏽
tymonaSmasher
I wouldn't mock illiteracy
Tumescentpie
50 cent mocked a disabled worker at an airport and live streamed it.
Mikeiller
We mock people for being uneducated all the time here. Where do you draw the line? How uneducated do you have to be before it's not alright?
Lycanthian
Yeah I’m all for sensitivity and empathy but we crack at people like trump all the time for being wealthy, a cunt, and an idiot. mayweather checks those boxes just the same, so don’t feel bad laughing at him
ChloePrice
I think it's okay to mock him for it given he'd rather abuse his spouse, sexually assault people and spew bigotry instead of learning to read
Drawstencil
It’s right to mock the willfully ignorant
DrunkenMarineBiologist
Don't mock him for being illiterate, mock him for being a spousal abusing piece of shit
TheHappyFrenchCanadian
And probably the worst ambassador of the sport ever :P but true mocking for illiteracy is cheap
iputthefiresout
As a rule, no, but on the other hand, we're not talking about a poor inner city kid with no opportunities. We're talking a wealthy and famous individual with plenty of opportunities to learn if he wanted to.
tymonaSmasher
Well maybe. I don't know, but how do you think illiterate people feel when they see someone mocked for it, rich or not? Similarly with incontinence - as much as I know it will rattle a former president, I also think about others with bowel conditions hearing derision about a medical issue. Why not focus on their bad points and criticise those? The people who battled evil dictators in history probably didn't focus on criticising disabilities, blameworthy or not
AtomicCometLauncher
Perhaps, but unpopular opinion: I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, if it's a thing that can be corrected with effort (and not a disability). Shame and embarrassment (or the fear of) do motivate people. It's a corrective force in a society of inherently selfish creatures. We certainly don't want people to be proud of illiteracy, which we seem to be getting to the brink of with people being proud and happy to ignore experts and data.
LiterallyAWizard
Only time I've mocked him for incontinence, or seen/read of others doing so for that matter, it was addressing it as a symptom of something more important, such as his age.For example, the time he reportedly shat himself on the set for The Apprentice, and had to be guided away to change because he was in a dementia fog and forgot where he was.
YouAreTheInsultMaster
I think he did it to himself with drugs and lifestyle choices so idk
AranaDiscoteca
...well maybe what? Well maybe he's got money?
The bigger concern is that someone illiterate will see this as "Hah I don't even need to learn to read" more than "They are making fun of people who can't read."
Trump's incontinence is a hygiene issue. Most people go to clean up, shower more frequently. And also many people nocked Hitler's stupid hair and height.
Itaru
I'm not really sure illiteracy constitutes a disability. It just means you haven't had the opportunity to learn, or that you can't be bothered to learn.
ebonybutterfree
I have no idea why that person remained illiterate as an adult. It could be due to a disability. Or maybe it was the shame of being an adult and not being able to read. Add to that embarrassment of needing to trust and ask someone to help you learn to read and the fear of them telling the world he couldn’t.
KilljoyNE
I feel like you are wasting your effort grandstanding on the serious issue of illiteracy on noted woman beater and at general DV perpatrator Floyd Mayweather and I just thought I'd let you know you could probably use this effort on better people.
majorPUFFEN2
How can the see they are being mocked when they literally can not read
idonotthinkitownswhatyouthinkitowns
How much gumption do you need to challenge someone to a read off when you can't work out that 50 of something is a plural?
nxrble
well shucks, I’m a-guessin a 50¢ piece which is short of a dollar and longer than a haypenny
masteryoplait
That’s his artistic name, slang and not meant to be grammatically correct.
InoffensivePablum
The 50-cent piece is a U.S. coin currently featuring the profile of JFK that is with a half dollar.
idonotthinkitownswhatyouthinkitowns
So if something costs ~ a third of a dollar would you say it costs 33 cent or 33 cents?
InoffensivePablum
I would say that if I had a coin that had JFK in profile on it, it would be the 50-cent.
TwoNineSix
33 cents. How is this relevent; it was JUST explained to you that he's named after the coin, not the value it represents.
InoffensivePablum
If you will shut up about this, I will give you a twenty dollars bill.
DidaChikDumaChum
Twenty dollars bill can buy many peanut

Does answering this question in any way refute what you were just told? If yes, how? If no, why ask it?

"Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS "- quarterback Cardale Jones during his freshman year at Ohio State University. To his credit, he did actually finish his degree despite leaving school early to play in the NFL.
