In Friday's Daily Rap 50 Cent takes a pop at TI, Usher claims he didn't fire his mother, Puff Daddy's car hit by drunk driver and Scott Storch faces jail.
Sparks flying
Looks like 50 Cent is taking a pop at Atlanta’s current king TI on the new G Unit album Terminate on Sight. In a verse Curtis makes reference to the fact that TI who was caught with ten machine guns in his possession last year was only given a year in jail. It was expected that the rapper would get upwards of three at least.
Even though some critics are saying that 50 is speaking the truth in regards to this situation, his reputation for being outspoken about numerous of his contemporaries is legendary.
He recently feuded with Alicia Keys in regards to comments the singer made about gangsta rap, concluding that he could no longer be a fan of her music. Casualties in the 50 Cent tongue lashing war would be Fat Joe, Game, Young Buck and Jah Rule, to name just a few.
