50 Cent sends warning shots at Dame Dash following their very public social media feud.
There isn’t anyone in the industry who makes 50 Cent nervous, and no one is safe from his social media trolling. Hence, it was no surprise that he pounced on Dame Dash when the former label executive’s teeth fell out while on Instagram Live in September of this year. The G-Unit honcho used the incident to troll the Roc-A-Fella co-founder, calling it a new low for Dash.
Dame Dash has since shared a video of himself responding to someone who asked him how he got so broke. He narrowed that down to a simple answer, saying he was investing in his dreams. 50 Cent reshared the clip telling his followers not to go out like Dame did.
The “21 Questions” rapper also shared another clip of Dash explaining that his teeth incident worked out in his favor because pop culture started talking about him. “I was praying that because, in the same sentence that I was calling out 50, that I dropped jewels that pop culture would talk about,” Dash said while seemingly being emotional. “The internet talked about it. And I was really happy ’cause I gauge how funny shit is on my jokes I have for myself.”
50 Cent wasn’t buying his explanation one bit. The rap mogul shared the clip on his Instagram calling it a new low for Dash. “So let me get this straight @Dame Dash you was praying your teeth fell out, so people would talk about it. yeah you broke for real, this is a new low! keep my name out your mouth, and your teeth in ok? LOL,” Fifty wrote.
In another post, Fif wrote, “Tag Dame and tell him if he was respectful to people when he was up, this would never have happened. Try to have a nice day.”
Dame Dash’s financial woes are well-documented online. He owes a reported $9 million in taxes and back child support payments. Earlier this year he asked a judge to lower his child support payments because his income is less than $10,000 per year. So it’s reasonable to say that he might not be at the same level of wealth he once had in the height of the Roc-A-Fella era.
Dame Dash is also going through a public falling out with Jay-Z, who is fighting in court to stop the auction of Dash’s 33.3 percent stake in his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, to pay the former label head’s debt.
