Things are getting even messier in the world of Hip-Hop beef as Meek Mill comes to the defense of Diddy’s son King Combs following 50 Cent’s response to his shocking diss track.
Just as we were getting over the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake last weekend, King Combs decided to step into the fray with his song “Pick A Side,” in which he takes shots at his father’s longtime nemesis, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. The track features Combs rapping, “When all they had was 50 Cent who put the city on the map? Stop lying, pops been hated on by many men and n***a, that’s fine. They gon’ try to stop these Eminems and they gon’ die trying.”
Unsurprisingly, 50 Cent responded in his signature style — by trolling on social media.
Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill has since come to the defense of the young King Combs. In a now-deleted post on X, he wrote, “Because your federal, the street n****s in Queens know that. Why you tryna pick on a lil boy… your own son hate your guts lol. I’m so grateful to be on an island with my son and his friends on his bday… don’t follow these guys, their miserable lives be terrible.”
In another post, he added, “Ya’ll ns 50 online beefing with kids. Of course, y’all ns left all y’all friends and family behind! Y’all holding the culture back fr, old hating manipulation n****s lol.”
50 Cent fired back, mocking the success of Meek Mill’s most recent album, saying, “You sold 6k copies your last project, you should not be on vacation. Still chasing the dream or embracing the nightmare. Standing by your man, that I respect!”
While it’s clear that 50 Cent won’t back down from any MC who challenges him, it’s evident that more rappers are willing to confront him now more than ever, especially with the “In da Club” artist dealing with his own legal issues.
In March, Daphne Joy Narvaez, 50 Cent’s ex-wife, criticized him in an Instagram post after he made light of her being named in a civil lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones against P. Diddy. She accused him of “wreaking real havoc, frenzy, and chaos onto people’s lives,” and added, “Let’s put the real focus on your true evil actions of raping me and physically abusing me.”
