After challenging his frenemy Floyd Mayweather to a bout in Las Vegas, rapper 50 Cent has since apparently dismissed the idea. Not that 50’s worried about Floyd — but because he knows Floyd doesn’t really have an issue with him. The two have been going back and forth on social media for months, and 50 has recently been mocking Mayweather via Instagram over the boxer’s alleged difficulty reading.
“He don’t want to fight, man,” 50 Cent says in an interview with Radio Rahim for Seconds Out. “Look, that’s my baby brother. He’s responding to what I’m doing by saying that.”
The hip-hop star says that all of the jousting between he and Floyd is something that only they really understand. While it may seem like outright hostility towards each other, Fiddy continues to characterize the sparring as some sort of antagonistic camaraderie.
“We don’t necessarily play like everybody else,” he says. “It’s a different thing.”
50 also claimed that Mayweather has bad relationships with everyone close to him — especially family, including Mayweather’s sisters and most famously, his dad Floyd Mayweather Sr.
“You don’t see how he falls out with everybody?” 50 says. “His father, his mother, Fannie, Tawana, Devon, everyone close to him.”
