Important facts

50 Cent (whose name is Curtis Jackson) trolled Jay-Z (whose name is Shawn Carter) in a post on X-Monday, asking, “Ok I don’t know what’s going on, but are we still going to have the Super Bowl?” ” 😟All I’m asking for is a friend,” he means, referring to Carter’s company Roc Nation, which produces the Super Bowl halftime show.

In an interview with radio host Big Boy on Monday night, Jackson laughed off his post on the sexual assault allegation.

Jackson also questioned a statement Carter made through his Roc Nation social media accounts denying the allegations. He called the statement “combative” and said he believed it was written by a lawyer and not a publicist.

However, Jackson said he hoped “everything is OK internally for (Carter),” referring to Carter’s young children. He added that he believes the current cultural climate is putting pressure on people “not even for what you did, but for what you said you did.”

Carter made his first public appearance since the lawsuit on Monday night at the premiere of “Mufasa: The Lion King” with his wife Beyoncé and daughter Blue Ivy Carter, both of whom have speaking roles in the film. The family reportedly did not speak to the media and quickly left the “Mufasa” red carpet after posing for photos on Monday night. After the event, Beyoncé only posted pictures of her daughter on Instagram and praised her for her voice acting in the film, without mentioning her husband. Carter’s appearance came a day after an unnamed Alabama woman included Carter in a federal lawsuit filed in New York in October that already accused Combs of sexually abusing her in 2000, when she was 13 years old . The lawsuit alleges that Combs and Carter served her a drugged drink at a Video Music Awards afterparty, where she was repeatedly raped while an unnamed female celebrity looked on – which Carter has strenuously denied. Carter issued a statement on Roc Nation’s social media channels Sunday night, calling the attorney who filed the lawsuit and many others against Combs, Tony Buzbee, a “deplorable human being” whom he accused of extortion . Carter said he wanted to expose Buzbee as a “fraud,” lamented that he had to explain the lawsuit to his young children and said his “heart and support goes out to the real victims in the world.” Carter’s attorney, Alex Spiro, filed a motion Monday asking a judge to force the accuser to reveal her real name or dismiss the case.

Important background

After sexual assault allegations and Combs’ legal troubles came to a head, Jackson repeatedly lashed out at Carter earlier this year, asking why Carter had failed to publicly address the allegations made against Combs, with whom he had frequently worked. Shortly after federal agents raided Combs’ homes in March, Jackson posted a picture on Instagram of Carter’s face on a milk carton labeled “missing,” writing, “Everyone saw Jay LOL,” and joking that he “didn’t answers.” his phone.” In another now-deleted post from March, Jackson posted a picture of Carter waving and wrote, “Carter waving at the Puffy Jet.” In May, Jackson posted a picture of a close-up of Carter’s face and wrote: “Jay in hibernation, he won’t come out until this crap is over, no brunch, no lunch, no dinner. LOL.”

What is Jackson’s relationship with Carter?

While Jackson and Carter were both early in their careers, Jackson, along with dozens of other rappers, disparaged Carter in his 1999 song “How to Rob,” rapping that Carter’s album sales gave him “something to live for.” Carter responded to the song “It’s Hot (Some Like It Hot)”, rapping, “I’m about a dollar, what the fuck is 50 cents?” The two rappers co-headlined the 2003 Rock the Mic tour and worked together in 2007 collaborated with Combs on the song “I Get Money (Forbes 1, 2, 3 Remix)”. But Jackson has continued to harshly criticize Carter, telling Rolling Stone in 2009 that Carter “has a royal complex” and “thinks he’s fucking Jesus,” and accused him of changing his image in his relationship with Beyoncé to appear more intellectual . Jackson also criticized Carter’s 2017 album “4:44,” calling it “too clever” and “golf course music.” Jackson also claimed in a 2022 interview that Beyoncé confronted him during a meeting between Jackson and Carter in Las Vegas, and Jackson questioned Carter’s Grammy wins in a 2023 interview, stating that he seemed to win more after he married Beyoncé.
