Rick Ross states that since Bun B continues to tour the South, 50 Cent should still be capable of rapping
Ross responded to 50’s assertion that he doesn’t need to pursue being the hottest rapper at his age and stated that the G-Unit Reeboks did not sell out, which can be verified.
Rick Ross has addressed 50 Cent’s claim of having no desire to release another album, stating that 50 isn’t ostoppingrapping; rather, he is unable to continue.
Rick Ross claims that 50 Cent has lost his rapping abilities and cites Bun B as evidence.
50’s stance is that he no longer needs to be the most prominent figure in rap. He possesses the catalog, the television business, the liquor, and a career trajectory that most artists can only dream of, so pursuing a chart position has become the responsibility of others.
He indicated Bun B, who continues to draw crowds throughout the South even after many years, as evidence that age is not a barrier for anyone. His argument is that a rapper should continue to rap for as long as he is capable and that the reason 50 is not releasing albums is unrelated to a lack of necessity.
He asserted that the G-Unit Reeboks were not successful in sales. Speaking on Instagram, Ross mentioned that a fan concurred with him about the shoes being unattractive and shared that they were unaware of anyone who had purchased a pair.
The G-Unit x Reebok G6 was released on Thursday, August 20, featuring a retro design of the original 2003 white, red, and blue colorway. The price was set at $130, and the sneakers were available through Reebok, JD Sports, and Finish Line. It was completely sold out in approximately two hours.
50 did not let that situation linger. He shared a video of himself smoking a cigar while wearing sneakers, accompanied by a caption questioning why the CO was so silent now, alluding to Ross’s past as a correctional officer, and added, “Sold out, fat boy.” He also acknowledged New York for fueling the demand and raised the question of whether anyone else could achieve those numbers with support from another source.
The original G6 debuted in 2003, coinciding with the release of Get Rich or Die Tryin’, and the collaboration with Reebok sold over 3.8 million pairs, reportedly generating more than $80 million in revenue. He has been clear about his involvement in the design and marketing, rather than merely attaching his name to someone else’s shoe.
It all began with an album. 50 pursued Ross regarding Set In Stone, which was released on July 17 under Gamma and Maybach Music Group, debuting at number 39 on the Billboard 200 with approximately 19,000 equivalent units. To understand why that number was impactful, it’s important to note that ten of Ross’s last eleven solo albums reached the top ten, with five achieving number one status, including Port of Miami, Trilla, Deeper Than Rap, God Forgives I Don’t, and Mastermind. Ross has responded by highlighting streaming figures that he claims indicate no week-to-week decline, and at one point, he showcased a property he appraised at $100 million.
