50 Cent is beefing with Jay-Z for excluding him from the 2022 Super Ball Halftime Show. N.O.R.E recently revealed on his Drink Champ podcast that Jay-Z admitted to him that Eminem only agreed to show up to the show if 50 Cent will also perform. Interestingly, Eminem refused to perform with 50 alone even at a rate of $9 million after 50 appeared for the show.
Following N.O.R.E claims, 50 blasted Jay-Z on Real 92.3’s “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” show claiming, Jay-Z behaved like gay painter Basquiat, referring to popular famed painter Michael Basquiat as gay. However, Media Take Out is positive Michael Basquiat was not gay but a ladies’ man. 50 is tripping as always.
50 bringing Basquiat up in beef he knows nothing about is the most hilarious thing yet this year, dude is crazy. For context, Basquiat is Jay-Z’s favorite artist.
Hip hop mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is beefing with Jay Z – and 50 is firing shots at Jay Z, saying that Jigga looks like a “gay painter.”
Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre were the musical lineup for Super Bowl 2022’s hip-hop halftime show, held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Feb. 13, 2022.
In 2019, Jigga signed a deal with the NFL to head the league’s musical entertainment, which includes the Super Bowl Halftime show. 50’s remarks about the hip-hop star are in response to claims made by N.O.R.E., who said on the Drink Champs episode with Snoop Dogg that Jay-Z told him Eminem only agreed to perform at the halftime show if Fiddy also agreed to hit the stage.
“[Jay] said to me—and I’m sorry for everybody who don’t understand—and he said, ‘the white guy called for 50 Cent.’ I said, ‘Who is the white guy? Jimmy Iovine?’” N.O.R.E. recalled on his Drink Champs podcast. “And he said, ‘No, Eminem called directly for 50 and he said I can’t do it if I can’t bring 50 with me.’”
50 discussed the incident during a recent interview with radio personality Big Boy. In the interview, 50 referred to Jay Z as “looking like a gay painter.”
Basquiat was not “gay” by all accounts, Media Take Out confirmed. Basquiat was known for having numerous relationships with beautiful women. There is speculation, however, that during a period of his life where Basquait engaged in intense drug abuse, the painter may have had homosexual relationships in exchange for drugs.
Unlike the many rappers that engage 50 Cent in his rants, we all know Jay-Z will not respond to this insult and it is unfortunate. What does a gay painter even look like?
