\n\t50 Cent\u2019s<\/a> no stranger to contentious feuds and T.I.<\/a> himself isn\u2019t one to back down. Two decades after carving out decorated legacies inside rap\u2019s pantheon, 50 and Tip are now embroiled in an unlikely blockbuster feud to open 2026. <\/p>\n \n\tAs far as rapping goes, this has been a totally one-sided feud, as T.I. has been relentless in stacking 50 Cent diss tracks while 50 has opted for social media fodder and trolling instead of heading to the booth. <\/p>\n \n\tAlthough the pair of rap titans peaked in the aughts from different rap capitals, 50 and Tip had some crossover, but minimal static over the years. Certainly nothing that should\u2019ve lingered over a decade later like Ja Rule\u2019s <\/a>war with G-Unit that led to a pillow fight on a flight <\/a>last month. <\/p>\n \n\tVerzuz was seemingly invented to settle beefs, not start them. The foundation of today\u2019s feud was laid during the COVID-19 pandemic when T.I. repeatedly called out 50 for a battle, but the G-Unit mogul didn\u2019t pay Tip much attention and scoffed at his requests.<\/p>\n \n\tTensions were raised in February when Verzuz became a topic of discussion once again after T.I. joined Nightcap<\/em> during Super Bowl weekend and claimed that 50 was \u201cducking smoke.\u201d <\/p>\n \n\tIn typical 50 fashion, he lived up to his king of pettiness title while turning to an array of social media jabs and memes. The floodgates opened when 50 went beyond T.I. and began taking shots at family members like Tip\u2019s wife, Tiny Harris, and his son, King Harris. <\/p>\n \n\tIn the span of less than a week, T.I. peppered 50 Cent with a handful of diss tracks<\/a> and doesn\u2019t appear to be done with 50 just yet, as he\u2019s parlayed the momentum into the rollout of his upcoming and final album, Kill the King<\/em>. <\/p>\n \n\tHere\u2019s the history of T.I. and 50 Cent\u2019s relationship and what\u2019s taken place in their current feud. <\/p>\n![\"Billboard](\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/2HpFicp.png\")
