Rapper 50 Cent tells Mayweather to ‘keep my name out your mouth’ as pair reignite long-running feud
50 CENT has reignited his long-running feud with Floyd Mayweather after telling the former friend: “keep my name out your mouth.”
The once best pals have turned into sworn enemies over the years, which started when Mayweather was released from prison in 2012.
Mayweather recently told rapper Fat Joe their falling out came after 50 Cent – real name Curtis Jackson – demanded half ownership of The Money Team.
He said: “You can’t hang out with me every day for years then all of a sudden if I don’t give you half of my company you’re like ‘you’re dumb, you’re stupid, you can’t do this and you can’t do that’.
“But if I can’t do all these things, why are you hanging around with me? That’s all I’m trying to add.
“If I’m such a person that doesn’t know certain things, and I’m not that sharp, why you want to be around with me every day.”
Despite being asked to open about about the falling out by Joe, 50 Cent warned Mayweather not to mention him again.
Jackson wrote online: “I’m not the marketing campaign champ, keep my name out your mouth.
“Damn somebody read this for champ, I don’t fu* wit you, you don’t fu* wit me. OK.”
Rap-royalty 50 Cent was once a valued member of Mayweather’s circle with the pair inseparable.
But their recent online feud traces back to when Mayweather was served three months in jail.
Jackson claimed he was owed $2million by the boxer having taken care his promotional banner.
In a 2012 interview, 50 Cent said: “I took a look and I realised there is no Mayweather Promotions. There’s no LLC. There’s no seal. It’s not incorporated
“When he says help him with Mayweather Promotions and it’s not there, I say, ‘OK, I know what he means.’ He wants me to put it together for him.
“I’m sitting there going, ‘When you gonna give me the money… when you gonna give me your half of the money back?’
“But, I ain’t trying press him because he just got out of jail.”
I’m not the marketing campaign champ, keep my name out your mouth.
50 Cent on Mayweather
They would publicly fall out that year and never patch things up.
Following several back and forths between the pair, 50 Cent in February claimed Mayweather need a boxing comeback as his “money’s gone”.
But Mayweather hit back and said their beef was totally random and he never put a foot wrong with the American artist.
He told Drink Champs: “I’ve been nothing but good to him. I’ve been nothing but solid with him. I’m a solid dude and he knows I’m a solid dude.
