50 cent has literally shown us who he is for years. I honestly don't know why y'all still support his projects but that's another discussion.

However it didn’t end there, the 46-year-old rapper posted a subsequent of a 2018 headline detailing his beef with Williams that started after the “Boardwalk Empire” actor defended incarcerated music executive James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond, who was found guilty of hiring a hitman to kill 50’s friend.
“Don’t ever try to understand me. I’m different. I don’t do all the fake love shit,” wrote 50 before also deleting that post.
