50 Cent has responded to T.I challenging him to a Verzuz battle
The 41-year-old rapper – whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. – maintained that he’s among the best when it comes to hip-hop, confidently claiming he's better than Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, Nas and Kanye West.
"Motherfuckers can’t f*ck with me in no way, shape, form, or fashion when it comes to doing no music, man. I got a lot of other sh*t going on so I don’t do music like on no consistent basis" he can be heard saying.
"I don’t depend on that sh*t to feed me, you hear me? But when you’re talking ’bout doing music, when you’re talking bout cutting records, n***a, you talking ’bout putting sh*t out, talking ’bout making sh*t that’s better than anything out there, man, ain’t nobody f*cking with me. Nobody f*cking with me, bruh".
He continues on: "That’s cool, that’s your preference. But n***a, when it comes to putting sh*t out, ain’t nobody f*cking with me, man".
"I don’t give a f*ck about your personal opinion, about how you feel about me, about what you think. When it comes to getting behind that motherf*cking mic, n***a, putting some sh*t to music? Ain’t nobody fucking with me, n***a. None of ’em".
The father of seven went onto suggest that some rappers don’t want to work with him because 'they know they can’t fuck with him' claiming that he’s never been out-rapped on a song with another artist.
"Jay and Nas, you need to bring them, bring them, n***a" he said. "That who you need. Jay, Nas, Wayne, Ye...n***a, they who you need. Bring them. Pusha-T. Yeah, all them. They who you need. Keep trying to goddamn throw my name in the circle, in the mix…ain’t nobody fucking me, n***a".
This rant comes after he challenged 50 Cent to a VERZUZ battle last September, taking to the stage at 50's show premiere 'Black Family Mafia' saying: "Hey 50, we got to do this Verzuz, man".
That wasn't the first time he proposed battling 50 Cent. During a 2020 interview on Ebro in the Morning, he made it known he believes he has a much “doper” catalog than the 'Power' star.
