50 Cent has been called a lot of things, but one label that he wears as a badge of honor is being a great rapper. So when “they” tried to tell him he isn’t a top 10 artist to come out of New York, he delivered his reaction on social media.
50 posted a picture on his Instagram Friday afternoon responding to those who said he isn’t a top 10 artist out of his native city.
“They said i’m not in the Top 10 out of New York artist, 😆i’m nobody’s favorite, i’m a nightmare for these fools when i focus,” 50 wrote in the caption.
Before responding to the claim directly, 50 posted a clip from an old Jay-Z Power 105.1 interview where the Brooklyn rapper was retelling a story about trying to warn Memphis Bleek and Beanie Sigel to put out as much music as they could before 50 dropped.
Later on, 50 would release “In The Club” and own the airwaves.
“Hahaha they should have listened, it get hard to shine when i’m around,” 50 wrote in the caption.
While it’s unclear who the “they” the Queens rapper was referring to, a mass of hip-hop heads flooded social media to support 50.
