50 Cent pops out his Drake list of opps, which includes a long list of celebrities, including rappers, ball players, singers, and streamers.
50 Cent has never been shy about his support from Drake, but lately, he might be sounding more neutral regarding the Canadian rapper. Drizzy’s lawsuit against UMG might’ve been the catalyst for Fif to sing a different tune. The G-Unit chief has a lengthy opp lift after developing many enemies in the industry over the years. The question now is whether Drake’s list is longer than his.
50 Cent sat down for an interview with Big Boy where he chopped it up about Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s beef and where the Toronto rapper now stands in the game following his bombshell lawsuit against UMG over Kendrick’s blistering diss record “Not Like Us.” Drake is arguing that the label engaged in a scheme with Spotify using bots to artificially inflate streaming numbers to make the song appear more popular than it was. Fifty calls the lawsuit hypocritical, saying that the label did the same thing for Drake’s music.
In one segment of the interview, 50 Cent pulled out a sheet of paper showing the list of Drake’s opps, which includes names like Rihanna, SZA, Tyler the Creator, Serena Williams, Red Pill YouTubers like Myron Gaines, YouTuber Anthony Fantano, Lebron James, YG, Whitney Alford, TDE, Kid Cudi, Rick Ross, Kanye West, Metro Boomin, and a bunch of other producers. The list is pretty lengthy, supporting Joe Budden’s claim that Drake has been making enemies over the past fifteen years since he has been in the industry.
50 Cent theorizes that Drake has more opps than other rappers because “he was just winning consistently more than everybody else in the culture and then these people start to turn into people that feel like they’re opps all over the page.” Fifty continues, “Because they keep watching him win. And then you’re going, ‘I want this forever, mane.’ I’m not sure you can have it forever.”

50 Cent also opened up about Drake seemingly wanting to stop Kendrick Lamar from performing the hit “Not Like Us” at the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show, which would be one of the biggest stages he would get to perform the diss track.
“See, sue Apple, sue Universal,” 50 said regarding the NFL’s potential exposure to the lawsuit. “Then have your attorneys contact NFL corporate and say, look, we don’t want you guys to involve yourselves in this nasty lawsuit that’s going on. You guys are the biggest live sporting event. Don’t put yourself in a situation where you’re a part of the damages.”
In the meantime, “Not Like Us” remains the biggest rap song this year, and Drake people are saying it is all because of UMG tactics.
