‘Champ On His Bulls–t Again’: 50 Cent Clowns Floyd Mayweather for His ‘Granny Drip’

Over the years, 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have engaged in more back and forth than two tennis players. And in their latest exchange, 50 was the one who served.

It all started last week, when Mayweather posted a photo of himself wearing a long Louis Vuitton sweater, pearls, a black turtleneck, sunglasses and hard bottom shoes with no socks. And based on how the boxer captioned the photo, he considered the look nothing less than stupendous.

“All I do is dress, flex and progress,” wrote Mayweather next to the photo.

But 50 didn’t think the outfit was nice or fashion forward. In fact, he said it was something a senior citizen would wear, not a man who’s 42 years of age.

“Champ on his bulls**t again, dats that granny drip,” wrote Fif in the now deleted post.

He also replaced Mayweather’s face with an elderly woman’s to drive his point home.

And even though the rapper’s message was deleted, along with his follower’s comments, people still clowned Mayweather under his post since he never removed it.

“My grandma dresses better ๐Ÿ˜‚ and she wants her pearls back,” someone commented.

“Donโ€™t care how expensive that is, why are you dressed like that?!” another person chimed in.

“All you do is look like a whole clown. Wtf man,” one person wrote.

“You need a new stylist lol smfh ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ,” wrote another.

50 and the boxer were close friends at one point and were members of the crew The Money Team. But they had a very public falling out, then made up with each other afterwards.

But that truce was short-lived because they began beefing again when Mayweather hired Teairra Mari to promote one of his events.

Mari sued 50 after he posted a screenshot of a sexually explicit video she was in, but the case was thrown out, and she was ordered to pay Fif’s legal fees.

Mari and the rapper have been going at each other since then, and 50 accused Mayweather of disloyalty for working with her. And that’s what broke up their friendship the second time.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual โ€” 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.
