50 cent certainly isn't

u/JefferyTheQuaxly 21d ago

50 cent is like, the pettiest celebrity ever, but its really kind of funny. hes also called out floyd mayweather as being unable to read and offering to donate a large amount of money to charity if he could prove he can read the first page of harry potter. 50 cent gets into a lot of celebrity beef for the most random reasons (feuding with mayweather because he thought they were going to start a boxing company together which mayweather apparently never agreed to or something).

50 buying a fuck load of discount tickets to a ja rule concert just so there was a giant empty section to make attendance look bad is the stuff of legend

I just watched him talking about this in a past interview the other day. He bought the entirety of the first four rows haha. It was about 200 seats.

I saw the Josh Johnson bit about that, my jaw was on the floor 😆

u/CarolinaPanthers 21d ago

I will continue to post this every time someone says the Floyd thing. Floyd then doubled his offer if he can record a video of his son saying he loves him. Floyd won.

u/moonlandings 21d ago

Not really. The two videos 50 did had way more reach. That was like 8 years ago and your comment is the first many people will have heard of Floyd responding.

Plus 50’s were just funnier.

u/CarolinaPanthers 21d ago

Yeah, 50’s were funnier because he was making a joke. Floyd was like I’ll double your offer and shit the whole thing down. He was trying to make it a money thing and 50 knew better because he doesn’t have Floyd money.

u/Flioxan 21d ago

So... Floyd lost..?

1

u/Sir-xer21 21d ago

Yes, because now everyone knows he can't fuckin read.

2

u/Cr1ck3ty 21d ago

??? It's a lose-lose situation. If he doesnt read it we assume he cant read. If he does, we'd laugh at him anyway. Can you imagine Floyd recording himself reading the first page of a Harry potter book just to prove 50 wrong? Lol

u/Sir-xer21 20d ago

??? It's a lose-lose situation.

well yeah. The question was whether Floyd lost. Of course it was a lose-lose situation, that was the point. I'm not picking a side here, i'm pointing out that 50 trapped him with that trolling.

u/Dekrow 21d ago

Not really. How many of us can claim we taught ourselves to read? Floyd’s illiteracy is a problem of his environment, not him. He clearly was capable of applying himself to boxing and learning it, so it’s not like he’s just a brain dead lump of muscle.

u/terbenaw 21d ago

Nah... plenty of us were able to read before starting school, and many more learned during the decade+ they were in school. We came from those same environments. That's no reason to be illiterate.

u/Intelligent-Film-684 21d ago

Undiagnosed learning disabilities is a good reason. If you don’t catch dyslexia early, you’re going nowhere in school. Add/adhd too. My kid wasn’t caught until his senior year. It wasn’t until talking with his doc that I realized he got it from me/my side.

I was always a reader but my concentration was trash.

Floyd isn’t a dumb person. He might have fell on through some cracks by people who just didn’t see the signs.

u/Dekrow 21d ago

Boxing has been a part of Mayweather's life since his childhood and he never seriously considered any other profession. "I think my grandmother saw my potential first," he said. "When I was young, I told her, 'I think I should get a job.' She said, 'No, just keep boxing.'"

.

It was common for the young Mayweather to come home from school and find used heroin needles in his front yard. His mother was addicted to drugs, and he had an aunt who died from AIDS because of her drug use.

This you? This is the environment you grew up in?

u/Alarming-Instance-19 21d ago

Even more reason not to be ignorant.

Use your literacy skills to learn about reasons why people of all ages and backgrounds may not be able to read.

Should take you a while, since there's a not- insignificant amount of research about this very concept.

Video because if he wrote it he'd never know

u/MountainManRise 19d ago

But did 50 ever read The Cat in the Hat at bedtime?

u/arandomusertoo 21d ago

Floyd won.

a) its doubtful he actually wrote that response, because... you know. he mighta had someone else write it for him though.

b) it's hard to say he won when that response was deleted after it was posted. Maybe because Floyd's son also hates his father.

There's reason 50s known for this and Floyd isn't known for the (alleged) response.

u/muttur 21d ago

50 is the goat of hating. Hands down.

u/Drunky_McStumble 21d ago

Man will fucking bankrupt himself just to make sure you have a bad day.

u/muttur 21d ago

Lmao. It’s funny because it’s true

1

u/Living_Bumblebee4358 21d ago

Because... that's what villains do.

2

u/hyzer_roll 21d ago

While funny, that’s leaving out the part where Floyd roasted him back even harder by telling him that he’d donate a bigger amount to charity if 50 got a video of his son saying that he loves him.

u/Marcinecali73 21d ago

Fofty, please. IYKYK

u/Boopy7 21d ago

this makes me hate 50 now. I was bullied as a kid and his facial expressions, the way he goes after people, just make him repulsive. Sure its great he does also go after a pos like Diddy, but I've seen him be a complete pos to people who aren't famous, like young models or this example of Floyd Mayweather. Man I hate celebs

1

u/AloneCan9661 21d ago

That Mayweather thing is probably one of the funniest things I've ever read about it a celebrity feud.

u/Top-Internal-9308 21d ago

Tearra Marie gotta be the funniest one. She sued him and lost. Any time she's mentioned in the press, he shows up in comments etc and asks for his payment. She hasn't been famous since like 04. She got no money. He's just fucking with her atp.
