The feud between the two stars began in 2017. 50 Cent was, notably, once close to former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather. Ahead of his fight against Mayweather in 2017, Conor McGregor called out the rapper during a press conference in New York, saying:

"50 Cent's a b***h"

This started a tirade of exchanges between the two in interviews and on social media. Moreover, after Mayweather won in 2017, 50 Cent posted a series of memes to take a dig at McGregor.

In 2019, the Irish mixed martial arts star called the rapper out for a fight. He made his return to UFC in Moscow, and when asked who he would like to face in a celebrity fight, he told The Sun:

"I’d have to probably say 50 Cent, I’d like to fight him."

He explained that he used the rapper as a "promotional tool," and he was thankful that he helped him build a big audience. However, he asserted that he was getting tired of the rapper's memes against him.

"But then after that he began a little tirade against me on social media, particularly Instagram where he’d make these memes about me constantly. Every time I’d go onto the internet I’d see 50 Cent had posted up some new stupid meme and I wrote one of the memes - ‘old man on the internet making memes’ and then he blocked me," McGregor said.

He explained that despite his being blocked, the memes haven't stopped, and he keeps getting tagged on fan pages. Hence, he wanted to fight the rapper, but that didn't happen.


In other news, 50 Cent is reported to star in the upcoming Street Fighter live-action movie alongside Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo, Orville Peck, and professional wrestler Roman Reigns, as per Billboard.
