50 Cent embodies meanness in his latest Superbowl TV ad for a local delivery service, taking aim at his fellow rappers, including the incarcerated Sean “Diddy” Combs.
In addition to Diddy, Ja Rule is the other rap royalty mocked in the new ad, while boxer Floyd Mayweather is also on the hit list.
The self-proclaimed “King of the Trolls” stars in the commercial titled “Beef 101 with 50 Cent,” filled with multiple references to his most publicized conflicts.
So what is the real problem behind each of the elements that appear in the new plugin? Here is a brief summary.
50 Cent vs. Floyd Mayweather
The first item 50 Cent pulled out of the bag is an alphabet learning book, which may be a reference to Floyd Mayweather, as the rapper previously ridiculed the boxing champion for supposedly being illiterate.
Additionally, he taunted Mayweather with a $750,000 donation to a charity of his choice, challenging him to read a single page of a harry potter book.
The pair were once great friends, but allegedly fell out in 2012 due to a financial association.
50 Cent vs. Diddy
Unquestionably the candy shop The hitmaker’s best-known beef is with Diddy, who is currently serving a prison sentence in New York. Therefore, it makes sense that most of the elements that appear in the commercial are references to him.
The first reference is cheese balls, being Diddy Puff Daddy’s old stage name. Additionally, he pulled combs out of the bag, a direct reference to the disgraced rapper’s last name. While the final reference was a bottle of cognac, aged “4 years or 50 months”, as long as Diddy’s planned prison sentence.
50 Cent against the rule Ha
Finally, 50 Cent was also seen pulling out an alarm clock and said, “I’m always on time.”
It was probably a reference to Ja Rule’s 2001 hit, always on time.
While it’s not exactly a dig, the reference is important since 50 Cent’s longest conflict dates back to Ja Rule’s, which began in 1999 after one of the former’s friends stole from the other.
