Rapper 50 Cent is stirring up drama again, taking aim at his longtime rivals Rick Ross, Floyd Mayweather, and now Lil Meech, the young star of the TV show BMF. On Tuesday, April 1, 50 Cent hopped on Instagram to throw some serious shade. He shared photos of Lil Meech, who looked like he was passed out in a wheelchair at what seems to be a medical facility. To add fuel to the fire, he paired the pics with Amy Winehouse’s song “Rehab” and wrote, “Damn this is BAD you believe me now! Oh Now you want to believe me OK.”
In another post, 50 Cent called out Rick Ross and Floyd Mayweather for hanging out with Lil Meech recently but ditching him now when he might need support. “HELP [flashing light emoji] help him out you guys knew what you were doing. You used him and now you’re not gonna be there for him. SMH,” he posted.
Where did these photos of Lil Meech come from? No one knows for sure, but 50 Cent has been vocal about sending the 24-year-old actor to rehab during the filming of BMF to deal with drug problems. Back in February, he spilled some tea on Instagram, saying, “I’m telling MeMe I don’t want him doing drugs. [Big Meech, his father] telling him he use to do X like it’s cool.” He also claimed Lil Meech was caught with “whippets” (nitrous oxide) in his truck and even threw up on set after getting high.
This all ties back to 50 Cent’s beef with Lil Meech’s dad, Big Meech, which kicked off earlier this year. 50 accused Big Meech of snitching to the government, and soon after, Lil Meech—who plays his dad in BMF (a show 50 Cent executive produces)—got caught up in the mess. The tension could spell trouble for the hit Starz series, with Season 4 set to drop on June 6. 50 Cent has even hinted at kicking Lil Meech off the show, despite him being the lead.
For now, fans are left wondering: Will this feud derail BMF? Only time will tell.
