50 Cent has ignited a viral feud with the "Let's Rap About It" podcast hosts, Jim Jones, Maino, Dave East, and Fabolous, after the crew criticized his recent Netflix documentary, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, as a disrespectful ""mockumentary.""

Retaliating against the criticism, the G-Unit mogul threatened to purchase the studio building where the podcast films, publicly labeling the rappers as "squatters" and alleging that their landlord is fed up with unpaid rent. To prove his leverage, 50 went as far as sharing an alleged audio recording of a call with the property owner, vowing to take over the deed and "fifty percent" of their show.

While Maino fired back by telling the rapper to loosen his "G-Unit g-string," the digital pressure campaign appears to have produced alleged financial results. 50 Cent later claimed victory on Instagram, posting a photo of himself on what looks like a business call, with a caption stating that Jim Jones had finally "wired the $200k" to settle the debt.

As the rapper now post pictures relaxing by the pool warning enemies that "if I wasn't me, I would leave me alone," fans are left debating whether this hostile takeover is a genuine power move or a brilliant marketing stunt to keep his documentary trending on Netflix.

00:00If there's one rule in hip-hop, it's this. Do not annoy 50 Cent when he has free time and a
00:04checkbook. The King of Trolls is now targeting the Let's Rap About It podcast crew, including
00:09Jim Jones, Mayno, Dave East, and Fabulous, recently threatening to become their landlord.
00:15It all started when the crew labeled 50's new Netflix doc Sean Combs' The Reckoning a mockumentary.
00:20During the conversation, the crew took a controversial stance and compared the doc
00:24to someone leaking a sex tape without permission.
00:26Of course, 50 didn't like that, so the G-Unit founder and CEO decided to hit them where it hurts,
00:45their studio. Currently, the Let's Rap About It podcast is renting space in a building to film
00:50their show. And according to TMZ, 50 hit Instagram claiming the crew has been quote squatting in their
00:56studio and the landlord is sick of it. The Queen's native even posted alleged leaked audio
01:01with the landlord discussing the late rent.
01:03Right now, he owes, and I'm going to say in a short way, at least $80,000, if not $180,000.
01:12But before the audio was revealed, 50 posted a photo captioned,
01:15I didn't have this on my list, but I'm working on buying the space where you film and 50% of your
01:20podcast. At this point, no one knows that 50 is serious. One commenter wrote,
01:25I always loved playing Monopoly. Another joked, when Diddy comes out, 50's going to have a stake in all
01:30of his businesses. Joke or not, the post got a rise out of Maino, who admitted 50 looked out for him
01:35in the past, but essentially told 50 to loosen up his quote, G-Unit G-string. Maino and Angela Yee even
01:41addressed the squatting claims directly on the way up podcast. But money talks and 50 is 50.
01:55Just 19 hours ago, 50 posted a photo of himself on the phone captioning it. So Jim wired the $200,000
02:01over. Okay, cool. He may turn out to be a good tenant after all. So whether 50 actually bought
02:06the building, 50% of the podcast, or just successfully pressured them into paying $200,000
02:12in back rent, the rapper closed the day relaxing by the pool with this advice. I don't know why
02:17these people start with me. If I wasn't me, I would leave me alone. So is 50 Cent really this
02:22passionate about his Diddy documentary? Or is this quote, eviction drama, just a brilliant marketing
02:27plan to keep the reckoning trending on Netflix? Share your thoughts and follow us on what's trending
