Entertainment Rap

Teasing Drake’s collaboration during the Toronto Link-Up led to accusations against 50 Cent betraying Kendrick Lamar.

50 Cent has been accused of betraying Kendrick Lamar after linking up with Drake and teasing a collaboration with the Canadian superstar.

The G-Unit boss, who worked with Kendrick on the 2013 track “We Up” and shares a number of mutual friends with him including Dr. Dre and Eminem, was largely criticized for kicking it with Drizzy in Toronto over the weekend.

Posting a picture of the two of them on Instagram, 50 wrote: “Brain [brain emoji] storming last night me and @champagnepapi gonna get the [camera emoji] rolling biggest ting on your TV GLG.”

The comment suggests that their collaboration will be more likely a film or TV show than a musical project, especially given both men are now prolific producers of movies and television series.

Another social media post showed 50 and Drake also hanging out with Canadian rappers Pressa (who was booked to support the Queens, New York native on his recent tour) and Bundog.

50 Cent aligning himself with Drake amid his bitter feud with Kendrick Lamar angered fans of the Compton rapper, with one commenting: “Dang, Fif! You sided against K-DOT?! Nah. Bruh.”

Another said: “Nah 50 he ain’t it. That’s Kendrick’s Ja Rule,” while someone else highlighted their shared ties to Dre’s Aftermath label: “This might be the first 50 cent L ever. How you side with dude who lost and dude who won is aftermath? Smh. Bad look.”

A fourth critic accused 50 of being a hypocrite given his own history of attacking those who sided with his rivals: “This weird as hell to me because if you fraternize with the enemy 50 cutting you loose. This applied to his own son as well.

“But Kendrick cool with Dre who cool with Eminem who just so happens to be 50 main man yet here he is Green lighting shit with Drake. Practice what you preach n-gga.”

Others defended 50 Cent, with one user pointing out that 50 and Drake share a common enemy: “They both dislike Rick Ross. But I know 50 has nothing against Kendrick. They’re cool.”

Another said: “50 is untouchable in the industry he does what he wants I respect it.”

50 Cent has previously offered his opinion on the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, praising both rappers at different times.

He initially applauded Drizzy’s “Push Ups” diss song, which contained shots at not only K. Dot but Rick Ross, Future, Metro Boomin and The Weeknd.

“All you [ninja emoji]’s got smoked by a light skinned Ni66a,” he wrote on Instagram. “LOL YALL BETTER GET HIGH AS A MOTHER FVCKER AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING!”

When Kendrick responded over a week later with “Euphoria,” Fif was equally as complimentary, writing: “This is real hip hop shit go check it out, I would have posted it but it’s too long.”

Drake has made several references to 50 Cent throughout the beef, such as featuring a G-Unit spinner chain in the video for “Family Matters” and including DJ Whoo Kid‘s mixtape tag at the beginning of “Push Ups.”

Last week, he also posed in Eminem’s iconic “Free Yayo” shirt in an apparent dig at Kendrick’s former TDE labelmate ScHoolboy Q, who had suggested that the feud was the reason behind his Toronto concert being canceled.
