Once again, 50 Cent Takes a Jab at Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s Relationship, proving he’s never too far from the spotlight—or from controversy. The rapper and entrepreneur recently took to Instagram to stir the pot, posting a photo of Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori walking down a sidewalk, with Censori dressed in a revealing bikini.
50 didn’t hold back in the caption, writing: “B!tch the side walk is for Pimpin, you get your ass out on that street and catch a date.” The message, heavy with sarcasm and streetwise slang, was widely interpreted as suggesting that West was acting as Censori’s pimp, a jab that fans quickly picked up on and debated across social media.
A Flashback to the 2007 Album Battle
This isn’t the first time 50 Cent and Kanye West have crossed paths in a headline-grabbing way. The two once went head-to-head in one of the most memorable showdowns in hip-hop history. Back in 2007, their albums—Curtis from 50 and Graduation from Kanye—were released on the same day.
The moment was a landmark for hip-hop, generating massive buzz and selling over a million combined units in just a week. Kanye ultimately outsold 50 by 266,000 copies, a victory that was seen by many as a shift in the genre’s musical direction.
Reflecting on that moment, 50 Cent recently stated, “We made the highest sales week for Hip Hop culture, doing that and being competitive. People that were participating as fans were buying more than one copy of it, because of the competitive side of it.”
He added that he didn’t fully commit to the challenge: “That was his ‘break’ album that broke him in. If I was trying to combat that, I would’ve went on tour with him. I would’ve had all of the material with the albums that worked ahead of [Graduation] to draw from, while he had that one record.”
Despite Rivalry, There’s Mutual Admiration
While 50 Cent Takes a Jab at Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s Relationship, it doesn’t mean there’s no respect between the two artists. In fact, West recently took to social media to express admiration for 50 Cent, saying: “50 Cent is one of my favorite people. He will be one of the people who brings back Black economic independence.”
50 responded in his typical style, referencing West’s past comments about JAY-Z’s children: “Damn it Ye ya dangerous right now, what you say about the kids man.”
Still, 50 has shown he sees the bigger picture when it comes to West’s struggles and successes. In a 2024 interview, he expressed sympathy and respect: “I don’t think anybody’s been through more or have more reasons to fall apart than Kanye. The success of his project comes, and his mom passes away. So what you been praying for — the gift is a curse. You lose that, and he had real reasons to fucking be out of it. He did the right thing. He went to work.”
Conclusion: Trolling With a Touch of Respect
While 50 Cent Takes a Jab at Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s Relationship in classic trolling fashion, the bigger story is the complex relationship between the two hip-hop icons. They’ve shared competition, controversy, admiration, and a deep connection to the culture they helped shape.
Whether it’s throwing shade on Instagram or recalling their epic music battle, both 50 Cent and Kanye West continue to be central figures in the ever-evolving world of hip-hop—sometimes rivals, sometimes supporters, but always making headlines.
