Teairra Mari Continues To Promote ‘I Ain’t Got It’ Single Despite 50 Cent’s Threats, Starts Following His Ex Vivica A. Fox on Instagram

Teairra Mari showed that she won’t let 50 Cent keep her from promoting the single “I Ain’t Got It,” which has become Mari’s catchphrase in her beef with the rapper.

In January of this year, a judge threw out the singer’s lawsuit against 50, after he posted a sexually explicit photo of her. Mari then had to pay Fif’s legal fees of $30,618, and every time he demanded it she hit him with the catchphrase.

It’s something she wrote in hashtags, put on a shirt and again, released a song around. And at one point, 50 claimed that he trademarked the phrase and threatened to take Mari to court if she uttered it again.

“Somebody forgot to trademark this, so I’ll just take it you little C-m,” he wrote on April 11. “Look, if she don’t take hers down, I’m gonna sue her.”

But Mari said she already took steps to secure ownership of the phrase and outsmarted 50. But once you enter wwww.iaintgotit.com, it goes directly to a site that shows the rapper’s G-Unit clothing.

Still, on Thursday, the “Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood” star took to Instagram, played the song and posed for the camera in a pair of big sunglasses. “Eat it b-tches,” said Mari in the clip, as she chuckled.

The Detroit born artist also began following 50’s ex-girlfriend, actress Vivica A. Fox, and she let it be known by circling the actual follow so 50 wouldn’t miss it.

Folks were clearly entertained by the singer’s post, and they gave her props for not backing down.

“keep that foot on his neck tt ✍🏽” one of her followers wrote.

“Not following Vivica Fox 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 #petty,” wrote another.

“This song hot too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I aint got it either T lol 😂” stated someone else.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
