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.

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.
