50 Cent has unexpectedly expressed support for his former rival, Kanye West, in the midst of the backlash over Kanye’s increasingly provocative and controversial posts on social media.
Despite Kanye’s derogatory comments about JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s children, as well as his ongoing backing of 50’s long-time foe Diddy, the G-Unit leader seems to be enjoying Kanye’s antics.
In an Instagram post on Thursday (March 20), 50 Cent reacted to Kanye’s mockery of JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, writing: “+++”
He further added: “I’m listening to his album now!” referring to Bully, which Kanye himself leaked online earlier that week.
Kanye, in turn, responded on X (formerly Twitter): “50 I SAID BEYONCE AND JAY Z KIDS ARE RETARDED. LETS MAKE THE HOT WATER BOILING HOT. OR LIKE PEOPLE SAY BROILING HOT.”
50 Cent replied once again, showing continued support for Kanye’s latest album and acknowledging Kanye’s recent phone call with Diddy while in jail: “As much as I don’t want to agree with Diddy on anything, just smile Ye (smile) and fuck em all man, fuck em. Bully out now! (I LIKE SPANISH SONG).”

Throughout the week, Kanye West has been actively tweeting, directing his criticism at everyone from Drake and Kendrick Lamar to Cassie and Playboi Carti. However, his most hurtful remarks were aimed at JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s young children.
“WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS. THEYRE RETARDED. NO LIKE LITERALLY. AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION IS A BLESSING. HAVING RETARDED CHILDREN IS A CHOICE,” he wrote.
After deleting the post, Kanye commented: “I NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT I TOOK THE POST ABOUT JAY Z AND BEYONCE’S FAMILY DOWN AND JERRY LORENZO’S FAMILY DOWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF MY TWITTER BEING CANCELLED BECAUSE IM A GOOD PERSON. I TOOK IT DOWN LIKE DOWN SYNDROME. GET IT. AM I RIGHT. FUCK THE WORLD. REAL TALK. FUCK EEEEVVEEERREEE BODY.”
He continued his attack on the Carters, writing: “AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR RETARDED ASS KIDS.
“AINT NO CELEBRITY EVER SAID NOTHING TO COME TO MY AID WHEN IT CAME TO THESE WHITE WOMEN TAKING MY KIDS. CAUSE THEY WAS MAD I WAS WEARING TRUMP HAT. FUCK JAY Z AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY. ESPECIALLY HIS SHOOTERS.
“AND NOW THAT YOU THINK JAY Z PUSSY ASS MADE ME TAKE IT DOWN I GOT TO DOUBLE DOWN.”
While JAY-Z and Beyoncé have yet to publicly address the situation, sources told Page Six that the couple is “discussing” the possibility of taking legal action against their former friend and collaborator.
