Performs “Heat” later on that night.

[@BostonGhost617]

😂😂😂😂

[@richieotis333]

😂 "Song Literally Teachin' you how to end a nigga"

[@ran7egend]

"I do what I gotta do, I don't care if I get caught/ the D.A. can play this MF tape in court/ I'll kyll you" 🎶🎶🎶🎶🤣

[@LifeTele]

Many men

[@louiiviable]

I don’t think he ever preformed that

[@WilliamK44]

Salute to 50🇺🇸

[@lpwexl]

Well if 50 wants us to stop then we should stop. This changes everything.

[@bigglo6855]

Lmaoooo right like 50 you late asf bruh

[@FactStorm]

Lol

[@LifeTele]

😂

[@DaChicagoWay773]

My DOG 💪🏼🙏🏼❤

[@tyronnemoss]

If Biden really is making an effort to tax the wealthy then 50 needs to stop crying and pay up. I love 50 but I vehemently disagree with him on this issue.

[@CannabisTechLife]

For real. Why is sweat labor (income tax) taxed more than capital gains? We should value labor over capital

[@candygaljones6363]

Chicago in the house, thanks 50!

[@shookfng]

He calls for an end to gun violence. But continues to produce shows that glorify gun violence and the criminal lifestyle

[@Dom2.0]

It's a SHOW 🤡

[@KnowThyself47]

Let's not forget he lived the EXACT same Life (Smh) Now that Nigga Has Made it to the bag he's telling everyone else ➡️ "Be Nice"

[@calebhenderson6507]

Preach lol

[@crews-lj3ph]

It's not real dummy

[@crews-lj3ph]

​@@calebhenderson6507I guess u dont understand what real or fake smh

[@secondcitydude]

Salute Fif✊🏿

[@allstarsoldier13]

I mean if he is genuine about stopping any sort of violence he wouldn’t rhyme about it or make content involving these things

[@kingrukki]

It’s reckless. He understands people get killed and sone times it’s kill or be killed. But that many people dying in one incident is just pure inconsiderate recklessness

[@calebhenderson6507]

I feel ya on that. It does sounds kinda funny coming from 50 at this point, lol. Especially when the dude had two video games staring him shoot up the place

[@ryen49]

people make this content in action movies i dont see you asking for all action movies to stop as well lol

[@davemcg915]

People mature brother ​@@calebhenderson6507

[@YungJavoCoopmusic]

This man does not rap anymore😂 and he never really been glorifying certain things. Drill music is way different from music back then music back then was more stories of what happened or what could possibly happen. Drill real and violent not the same genre

[@mpmali3181]

Real 👑

[@TooDirty]

Should we stop making movies with any kind of violince in it too? It's an art form. Call of duty doesn't make school shooters.

[@guiltyuntilproveninnocent.]

That’s debatable

[@hansolodolo92]

Very debatable

[@dereknunn2699]

Art vs real life violence. Wtf we talking about?

[@thaneros]

Not for everyone but the media you consume does have an affect on people.

[@cantstop-wontstop2138]

@TooDirty So it's not even a LITTLE SUSPICIOUS that this toxic music is ALL ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE KILLIN BLACK PEOPLE? Sellin dope to OTHER BLACK PEOPLE? Pimpin BLACK WOMEN? None of that is suspicious to you?

[@juliusreed6233]

Respect 🫡 FiF

[@DominicHolder-nn3um]

People are so funny. We start out one way & then come back to do the very same thing we were so against. & Vice Versa

[@MrBankCity]

The evolution of Fif should be paid attention to. There's a specific narrative he's speaking about to me. Some people won't understand these changes. That's why you do it for yourself. The murder does need to stop, and who better to say so than a shooter?

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

Hahaha, coming from the guy who wrote “GUNS FOR SALE”

[@calebhenderson6507]

And who had two video games on gunplay lol

[@3ShadesBlack5]

At some point in life...people grow up as they get older.

[@Dave....]

It's called growth. It's like your older brother who was in the streets, doing everything in his power. To guide and make sure you don't make the same mistakes he has because he knows what comes with it.

[@sirenloud]

Man y love that song lol

[@3ShadesBlack5]

@@Dave.... these dudes don't want to live, they want to be buried in a Gucci Casket quickly.

[@capitannegro100]

Domestic terrorists SMH

[@newblakestone]

Gangster rappers promote gangsterism than when they get older they try to push back on everything they created

[@steve-ie6ju]

Good thing 50 Cent hasn't said before that if a shooting happens and people die it won't matter to him 50 Cent - Heat "If there’s beef, cock it and dump it, the drama really means nothin' to me, I’ll ride by and blow your brains out" 50 Cent - Gotta Get Mine "The beef don’t mean nuttin' to me. Son I’m always in drama" 50 Cent - Hustler’s Ambition "The drama means nuttin'. It’s part of the game" Ma$e - They Don't Bother Me: 50 Cent "When the drama get to poppin'. It don't bother me. It don't bother me. When shell casings get to droppin'. It don't bother me"

[@tylercooper5052]

I don't hear yall criticizing John Wick or any other shoot'em movies. But when someone raps it, it's the worse thing ever? It's all ENTERTAINMENT...what's the difference? Y'all confuse that with real life sadly.

[@steve-ie6ju]

@@tylercooper5052 That's because those are movies. 50 Cent lived that life for real, heavily promoted it to the world and capitalized off it his whole career and life. He was basically the face of being gangster, shootings and beefing so people look at him as a hypocrite and can't take him seriously now that he's saying the very thing that he glorified needs to stop

[@Fireburningheat]

​@steve-ie6ju He's saying the way they are killing isn't gangster, its crazy, and yes there is a difference, doesn't mean he's totally against shootings anymore

[@jermainep5314]

As long as it's in the music and being glorified, it will never STOP! We've been talking the same talk for years and it only gets worse!

[@WilliamK44]

50 needs to run for president 🇺🇸

[@mrrobertr.2135]

Messed Up......

[@CannabisTechLife]

"This is not it". Spoken truly like someone who already got theirs.

[@DorzellC]

50 been beefing with Ja Rule and never sqaushed his beef and this is almost 25 years later. He cares nothing about violence anywhere. Many talk but most not action based. Its just rhectoric with no solutions.

[@_nobodyxi]

'hate when a rapper talk about guns Then somebody die, they turn into nuns Then hop online, like "pray for my city" He fakin' for likes and digital hugs" Well said Mr Morale

[@Infamous41]

Probably was over a Newport or something else important

[@chasenickles260]

This the same dude who made a living off of rapping about his gun go off....... this is also the same reason why he fell off after his 2nd album the massacre......only so long can you rap about being a gangsta and letting your hammer go off ....... the most overated rapper in ny

[@Kingzhiphopofficial]

Stop snitchin the unit still run this shit

[@Andy-td8eo]

50 and Durk should do something about it

[@larrytan73]

The next time you guys HDX promotes a gun slinging rapper .Play this post! FOH!

[@K1NG931]

Someone check Ayedubs reading level

[@lamarj3037]

The violence in Chicago has been going on for more than 100 years. Back in the AL Capone days. More than likely it'll never stop.

[@bunchycarter8457]

50 jumping on that c🦝🦝n talk...

[@janadrianbettard8822]

But he make TV shows about crime and murder

[@sirenloud]

Lead by example by calling a truce with murder Inc

[@Dom2.0]

Dumb comment, the magnitude and killings are nowhere near this nonsense, delete this comment lil bruh

[@hescjay]

Amen

[@pernorm7679]

Gets rich off gangsta rap then speaks out against gangsters. 😂 you can’t make this crap up. Black culture weird af

[@camronshean1758]

0:21 50 Cent - That Ain't Gangsta "You got blown over the jack? (That ain't gangsta) Your man ran when you got clapped? (That ain't gangsta) Rockin' a vest with no gat? (That ain't gangsta) You only a thug when you rap? (That ain't gangsta) Niggas juxed you for your track? (That ain't gangsta) You ran to other thugs to get it back? (That ain't gangsta) Niggas ran off with your packs? (That ain't gangsta) If you ain't bustin' your gat (That ain't gangsta)"
