50 Cent Enjoys College Basketball Game As Fans Demand Response To Fabulous Diss Track

The rapper and business magnate Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson was pictured sitting front row at the match between the University of Houston and LSU, buzzing with the company of the businessman Tilman Fertitta. This public appearance, however, came during the ongoing back and forth between him and rapper Fabulous, which has his fans wondering when or if Jackson will answer back with a musical comeback.

The picture showed 50 Cent up and at the same time wearing a casual short sleeve collared shirt while flaunting a pinky ring. He wrote a caption for the photo while tagging Fertitta—the owner of the Houston Rockets and the arena that is named after the University of Houston—and his own Branson Cognac brand too. Nevertheless, it was not long before the comment section went from discussing sports and beverages as battlelines were drawn between Fabulous and Jackson, with the former recently releasing a diss track aimed at 50 Cent pulled the whole online feud into the picture.

Many in the community seemed to have devoted the bulk of the debate to the question of whether or not the ‘In Da Club’ hitmaker is dodging a lyrical “fight.” One user cut straight to the point and claimed the conversation should be focused, stating, ‘We culture fans are waiting for your answer to Fabulous. We must not be distracted with other vices.’ Others appeared to share similar sentiments as they construed the casual game-day post as a plot to draw out the confrontation. ‘Fabulous made 50 Cent chill a bit,’ another comment declared, insinuating that the diss had made Jackson pause.

On the other hand, there was a faction of staunch supporters who nursed Jackson, arguing that his billionaire enterprises had him on the lofty grounds. ’50 not worried about no damn Fab… he too busy out here making more millions,’ one fan put it very candidly. This raised the question of the unwritten laws of hip-hop—respect vs. financial power. A doubter shot back, ’50 talked sht to them first, Fab just responded,’ implying that whoever starts the fight has to answer no matter what the difference in their net worth is.

The topic of Jackson’s dressing habits was a source of both humor and serious discussion. One person praised the rapper’s low-key look, ‘This is how rich people dress… money is in the bank.’ That opened the door for a brief engagement in the replies, with one person coming back with, ‘This how people who can’t dress dress,’ stressing how polarizing even 50 Cent’s fashion choices are.

Amidst the chaos, a long-cut-and-past defense from a steadfast supporter kept popping up. It was a mock-diss verse that warned anyone who would speak ill of Jackson and ended with the phrase ‘SOMETIMES THE TRUTH HURTS.’ This kind of robotic defense turned out to be a quirky aspect of the thread and showcased the passionate, sometimes fanatically loyal, nature of the fanbase.

The main argument is still undecided. Is Curtis Jackson, the executive producer and business mogul, really that much above a rap battle in 2024? Or is he cleverly delaying it, keeping his retort hidden which he will unleash at his convenience? For now, he seems to prefer watching the game, promoting his businesses, and letting the internet chatter without him. At least when it comes to lyrics, the ball is still in his court. His next step—or lack of one—will be scrutinized by an audience anxious to see if the old rules of hip-hop still apply to a guy who has so thoroughly broken them. In other news, 50 Cent recently declared victory with a new documentary. He also casually flashed a million-dollar watch that sparked priceless reactions. The rapper shared a childhood photo in a personal message declaring “God is good.” Fans were amused by his unexpected run-in with Maury Povich. He also showed up for a Saints game with cognac in hand, sparking wild conversation.
