50 Cent has mocked Beyoncé for her reported lack of ticket sales. The G-Unit rapper took to Instagram on April 28th to react to a news story about the singer’s tour not selling out.
On his page, he posted a screenshot of the headline, “Beyoncé Tour Kicking Off In LA, But Sales Still With Thousands of Tickets Still Available.” No stranger to causing a stir with his views on Instagram, 50 wrote in the caption, “Shit getting real out here. Hey the tickets ain’t selling?”
The Cowboy Carter Tour began on April 28th in Los Angeles, and it has dates scheduled in Chicago, London, Houston, Atlanta, and other major cities.
50 has had a long-time beef with Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z. The ‘Candy Shop’ artist claimed Hov tried to block him from performing at the Super Bowl with Dr Dre in 2022 until Eminem stepped in.
During an interview, 50 claimed that Jay’s marriage to Beyoncé was the reason for his success. “The same concept with the Super Bowl,” he told XXL. “See, they don’t understand the relationship. They were trying to get [Eminem] to do the Super Bowl without me. It wasn’t happening.
“It’s OK for the award shows not to give me the trophies. Even Jay-Z’s career, you can look at that and say the association to Beyoncé is when he started to receive the 16, 17 Grammys, since he’s been with Beyoncé. And you go, prior to that… [he had] one. That came with the association.”
He continued, “You see [Jay and Beyoncé’s] kids already have Grammys. They don’t sing yet. They don’t sing. They don’t rap yet. And, they already have Grammys and shit. So, they say, ‘Give them this trophy so we can secure that they’re coming — to the awards show.’ It meant that much to the culture they just gave them the things.”
