50 Cent Clowns Michael Blackson’s Rainbow Colored Sneakers: ‘Put My Son Shoes Back’

Michael Blackson is the latest victim of 50 Cent’s ribbing.

Yesterday, the G-Unit rapper clowned the comedian for wearing rainbow-colored sneakers. Blackson sported them at a recent Philadelphia 76ers game and matched them with a multicolored jacket.

“@michaelblackson put my son shoes back,” wrote Fif, referring to Tekashi 6ix9ine who he calls his son and uses rainbow colors as part of his brand. “What the f—. Lol.”

50 then posted a close-up shot of the sneakers and teased Blackson again. “These are a no go,” he wrote. “l like the brand but what the f— is this, man. Nah. Get the strap.”

Tekashi eventually weighed in on the teasing and playfully told Fif to leave his name out of it. The 22-year-old rapper and 50 have developed quite the relationship over the past several months, and both maintain much of their Internet presence by trolling others.

“You could of just said no you not getting them,” wrote Tekashi in the comments section. “Didn’t have to expose me.”

Blackson hasn’t responded to the “21 Questions” rapper directly, but he did joke about quitting Instagram due to all the chatter surrounding his shoes.

“I’m deleting my page,” he wrote next to a split image of himself and a rainbow-colored sheep that he probably Photoshopped.

Blackson also posted another picture of himself greeting Lil Uzi Vert at the Sixers game and took the opportunity to poke fun at his outfit again.

“If @liluzivert is supporting breast cancer awareness wtf am I supporting with this skittles outfit?” he joked.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
