50 Cent recently claimed in a homophobic post that Young Buck and Benzino are gay. Curtis shared several homophobic and transphobic posts aimed at Buck and resumed his beef back in February after Young Buck’s arrest for vandalism.

His latest posts targeted Buck and Raymond because of rumors related to his s*xuality and seem to be a direct response to Buck’s claims about Curtis’ business practices. Curtis shared a clip where Raymond addressed some rumors and wrote,

“Young Buck, Benzino just embrace who you are but don’t pat nobody butt when they score a basket. Hahaha, Nah. FOR REAL! PUNK.”

Trans actress Shauna Brooks claimed that Raymond had a brief relationship with her and the clips shared by Curtis appear to be about the same. Brooks said in the clip,

“I don’t watch trans p**n, but that’s just me.”

Another video featured a leaked phone conversation between Brooks and Benzino, where the rapper explained why it might look bad for him to be seen with a trans woman. He said,

“You don’t f**king look bad, I do. You can never look bad. In this world you ain’t doing nothing wrong. It would be wrong if I did. Can’t you get that through your head? You’re not looking bad Shauna. You’re looking like a f**king chick. … I’m looking wrong ‘cause what the f**k are you trying to do f**king with a transgender?”

It is unknown how this situation is related to Young Buck, but 50 Cent has accused the rapper of being in a relationship with a trans woman.
