Although the beef between G-Unit, 50 Cent and The Game is over a decade old now, it still simmers under the surface.
These days it’s mostly dug up and reignited by 50 Cent on Instagram, because that’s what hip hop beef has become in the social media age.
And this latest episode is no exception.
After spending some time in Dubai, The Game decided to post some images of his trip to social media. One particular post stood out, a photo the rapper took with G-Unit member Lloyd Banks.
The post on Instagram simply said ‘Still.’, which was interpreted as the two rappers having put their differences to one side.
But 50 had a few more words to add, and according to VIBE he said in a now deleted post: “What do you see when you look at this picture? I see confusion, I’m not sure if it’s just me, I’m a Cancer sh*t don’t get old with me.”
After The Game caught wind of this, he took to his own social media account to post a much more mature response, starting by saying: “When I heard banks was in Dubai, I told my niggas, “we’re goin thru to holla”…. My team thought I was on some bullshit & thought we was going thru to kick off some bullshit… I then told them, “Naw, we ain’t on that… We on the other side of the world enjoying ourselves, 1/2 y’all ain’t never even left LA.”
He went on to say:
When I got there I was going to go off his energy… & when we seen each other, it was instantly all good energy, so we chopped it.. threw back a few dranks & took a flick for old times sake to kill the negativity & tension that had once tore one of the GREATEST RAP GROUPS ever apart !!! At some point, you gotta be a MAN about certain situations so last night that’s what I decided to do.
Before adding: “As for me & you “50”… Our past has proven we could both get on some gangsta shit if need be, being that lives have been lost on both sides… If you choose to ignore the GROWN MAN approach & continue to harbor HATE for me & my side… That’s your decision. I can’t speak for Banks, but my pride was swallowed last night along with a shot of Hennesey in that club.”
Now that’s how you deal with the situation like an adult…
