50 Cent Hilariously Recounts Story of Man Who Gave Him $20 for Stealing His CD in the Fifth Grade: ‘Here, Take It’

50 Cent has been making headlines in recent weeks for getting at people on social media who owe him money, and it’s put fear in people who aren’t even on his radar.

In late April, the “In the Club” creator called out “Power” producer Randall Emmett for owing him $1 million, and Emmett eventually paid him but first went to the emergency room after he thought he was having a heart attack.

Plus, the rapper sent an aggressive message to actor Jackie Long last week and gave him a hard and fast deadline to pay him the money he owed.

Fif has been demanding money from Teairra Mari as well since a judge ordered her to pay him over $30,000 in legal fees after her lawsuit was tossed.

Then on Saturday, May 11, the “In the Club” creator took to Instagram and told a story about someone from his elementary school who tried to right an old wrong so he wouldn’t end up like Emmett and Long. Fif noted that he was in the Windy City when he ran into the guy.

“Yo I love Chicago every time I come out here the wildest sh– be happening. 😆LOL,” he captioned the video. 

“So check it out. Why a n—a come in the store and give me this $20 right here. He said ‘Here take it’ and said ‘I stole your CD in fifth grade.’ Yo listen, ‘The only person knew about it was my cousin, but this b–ch on some bulls–t, so I know she gon’ go left on me. I don’t need you putting me all on your Instagram and everything.'”

50’s followers clearly got a kick out of the story and let it be known in the comments.

“Thank you for uplifting my spirit with your funny pranks and how you clown on people.😘😂🤣,” wrote one fan under the clip.

There were also some who said they might owe 50, too, and would get it to him if that’s the case.

“I prolly owe you some bread off those G unit mixtapes,” someone wrote.

“Yeahhhh bruh, I bootlegged Massacre cause my mama aint let me listen to Rap like that back then…I got cho $15 n—a, PULL UP😆.”

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.
