50 Cent vs. Jay-Z

50

Hip-hop officially has its biggest beef of the year: Jay-Z versus 50 Cent.

It all started back when 50 Cent made his appearance on MOD and said Kanye would not have ambushed him had he won the VMA instead of Taylor Swift.

Just last week Jay-Z then told the BBC that “no one is scared of 50 Cent. I want everyone to be clear. No one is scared of 50 Cent.”

Well, now Fiddy has hit back saying that Jay-Z wouldn’t have taken the trophy from him either.

He also called out Jay’s reluctance to battle other MCs, saying “His take on it is [he’s] bigger than the art form and he won’t actually compete. Battling has been a part of the culture.”

Oh Kanye, look what you’ve started.
