Looks like 50 Cent and Conor McGregor have a wee bit of beef going on between them.
“Get Rich or Die Tryin'” rapper 50 Cent delivered a low blow to fighter McGregor on Friday, after McGregor called the hip-hop star a “bitch” during a press conference to promote his upcoming fight with Floyd Mayweather.
The rapper hit up his Instagram account and posted a picture of a little person in boxing gear, bearing the text, “I don’t know champ, Conor McGregor looks like he means business.”
“The little leprechaun coming full speed ahead, the rapper wrote. “Popping big sh-t, I’m betting this fight won’t go the distance.”
The Instagram post came a day after McGregor called 50 Cent a “bitch” during a promotional stop in New York on Thursday, making sport of both the rapper’s bankruptcy-court woes and boxer Mayweather’s reported debt to the IRS.
“50 Cent is a bitch,” McGregor told Mayweather at the Thursday appearance. “You and 50 are two fake money bitches. He’s bankrupt, and you’re about to be.”
After McGregor’s comments, the rapper puzzled over why McGregor unexpectedly dragged him into the ring, writing on Instagram, “What the f–k wrong wit this white boy, you fighting Floyd not me fool. LOL.”
Chris Brown Arrest: 7 Stars Who Support the Embattled Singer (Photos)
Chris Brown experienced his latest run-in with the law on Tuesday, when he was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon following an hours-long standoff with the police, after allegedly pulling a gun on a woman at his Tarzana, California, home. But the "I Can Transform Ya" singer has plenty of supporters as he weathers his latest legal plight -- and some of them are famous. Read on for a list of celebrities who've offered their support for Chris Brown.
Rapper 50 Cent took to his Instagram account to speak up for Brown. Pointing out that Btown's accuser, Baylee Curran, had reportedly been accused of theft for allegedly stealing a purse in 2013, the rapper wrote, "This Bitch was trying to steal something got kicked out then called the cops see. Smh you can't make this shit up. Lol."
Ray J, who was reportedly at Brown's home at the time of the alleged incident, also hit up Instragram, posting a video in which he declared, "I'm real upset about today. I'm not happy with how things are being handled and about how people can take a false story and blow it up into something way more than it should be."
Singer/actress Keke Palmeralso posted a video, saying, "I really wish that people would stop messing with Chris Brown ... I ain't saying he's perfect, I don't know him like that. But, I mean, I wish we would pray for motherf--kers instead of hating them."
Hulk Hogan took to Twitter and offered, "Praying for Chris Brown only love" -- though he also later tweeted, "Chris needs to start loving God and get correct," so it seems like he might still be wrestling with the issue.
Rapper Lil Mama likewise put her support behind Brown, writing, "I love @chrisbrownofficial and I AM TIRED OF SEEING HIM HURT. But for right now I'm just praying for his safety."
Singer Bruno Mars tweeted his support on Tuesday night, writing, "Prayin for ya @chrisbrown we need ya."
"Love L.A." Rapper Young Scrap blasted Brown's haters while defending the singer, writing, "Prayers are up for Chris Brown...it's crazy how some of you can't wait for him to fall."
