Rick Ross and 50 Cent Trade Barbs Over Tupac, Album Sales and $100M House

Overview

• Rick Ross publicly mocked 50 Cent’s reported plan for a Street Fighter theme featuring Eminem and posthumous Tupac vocals, saying Tupac should be allowed to rest.
• 50 Cent has repeatedly taunted Ross over weak first-week numbers for Ross’s new album Set In Stone, using a roughly 20,000-sales figure to question Ross’s commercial relevance.
• Ross posted a video defending his approach to sales and claiming ownership of a “$100 million house,” and he argued he did not inflate streams to boost first-week totals.
• 50 Cent allegedly replied on Instagram that Ross’s claimed mansion was listed on Airbnb and called Ross “fake,” a post that has not been independently verified by outlets or Airbnb.
• The exchange continues a nearly 20-year rivalry that centers on money, authenticity and the ethics of posthumous collaborations and may prompt more public responses from G‑Unit allies and commentators.
