50 Cent and Marlon Wayans Laugh Off Feud in CinemaCon Backstage Run-In

Wayans’ earlier retreat from the quarrel set the stage for an easy reset.

Overview

  • The pair, who crossed paths backstage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Saturday, were filmed laughing together in a moment that signaled the feud had cooled.
  • Marlon Wayans shared a short Instagram clip of the meetup and captioned it as business talk, playfully calling out his brother Shawn who appeared in the video.
  • The dispute began after Wayans criticized 50 Cent’s Netflix docuseries about Sean “Diddy” Combs as “kicking a man when he’s down,” which led to a volley of memes and insults online.
  • Wayans had already told KTLA he “backed out” because public fighting felt bad for the culture, and witnesses said this first face-to-face since the spat felt light and joking.
  • Both were at the industry convention to promote separate films — Scary Movie 6 for Wayans and a Street Fighter project for 50 Cent — a setting that often brings rivals together and can defuse online beefs.
