Before rapper 50 Cent amassed an estimated $250 million through music, lost every thing, and got here back as a Hollywood executive and serial entrepreneur, he was a hustler in New York’s South Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, terrorizing people on Guy Brewer Boulevard.

Fif was a street guy who rose through the ranks and learned one lesson on this unforgiving land: loyalty is king.

This lasting value is at the heart of the latest social media storm involving the “Rich or Die” superstar, who is outwardly threatening to take one in every of his biggest shows off the air.

50 Cent recently became enraged after seeing a series of photos and videos showing Terry “Southwest T” Flenory and his son hanging out with the son of 50 Cent’s archenemy, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff.

Supreme was the leader of a drug family called the Supreme Team, a notorious human trafficking organization based in Queens, New York in the Eighties. The gang was known for its brutal tactics and control of the crack trade.

At its peak, Supreme Team’s activities included extensive drug distribution networks and a hierarchical structure as the group grew into a strong criminal enterprise.

IN one clip Posted last weekend detailing the commotion at Fif’s Timberlands, Supreme Jr. talking to father and son. He said “this moment is monumental” since it brings the two drug families together. The clothing designer gives Too a T-shirt that claims “Free Preme/Free Meech” and tells him that he drove nine hours to be certain that the three of them met.

T graciously accepted the shirt and said he respected the elder Prime, calling him an “honorable” man.

In response to the video and photos. on Tuesday, June 18, 50 Cent he wrote“Hey I know I feel like he doesn’t make as much money as @lilmeechbmf but I thought everyone would be happy for him.”

“It’s not like I didn’t help your family make millions,” he continued. “Great, when STARZ starts suggesting bad moves, I’ll just sit back and watch. Don’t worry, you may be off the air in a moment.”

50’s shared post features a screenshot of a comment by which one social media user told T: “So you got here home and checked out the series 50 began about your loved ones and I’m sure there was some control behind it that helped those in returning home.”

“And you take these photos with this power-hungry kid who is supposedly the tallest son and you know the story with the premiere and 50,” the user continued. They also noted that T’s antics like these from the early years are “trying to antagonize 50. I understand why Meech wouldn’t mess with you.”

Why does the co-founder of one in every of the largest drug families in Black American history care about 50 Cent’s feuds? The connection is deep.

While T and his brother, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, sat in prison, 50 Cent turned his BMF (black mafia family) saga right into a household name with successful series on Starz. Not just 50 Cent to get a letter from Big Meech, giving him permission to tell the brothers’ story, but effectively turned T’s nephew, Lil Meech Flenory Jr., into a star.

As a seasoned street activist, T must have been well aware of the claims that Supreme allegedly attempted to murder 50 Cent in the infamous incident by which the rapper was shot nine times while sitting in a automobile outside his grandmother’s house.

According to an affidavit linked to the Murder Inc. investigation, it’s widely believed that the motive for the attempt on his life was a record of 50 people titled “Ghetto Koran.” The song was a reference to Supreme, the infamous drug lord who once ran the Baisley Park projects and is currently serving a life sentence for drug dealing, racketeering and murder.

New York Magazine reports the statement reads: “McGriff was involved in the shooting of another rap artist, ’50 Cent,’ who wrote a song exposing McGriff’s criminal activities.”

Supreme Jr. has negative these allegations, despite the fact that the rumor has existed for a long time.

Complicating matters is the proven fact that Supreme’s son has been courting controversy over the past few months by suggesting that 50 Cent’s mother, who tragically died when the 50-year-old was 8 years old, can have had relationship with the Most High — suggesting that Supreme Jr. and the rapper could also be brothers — and joking that he’s going to take a DNA test with his eldest son in his 50s, Marquise Jackson.

Another reason why 50 Cent feels disrespected by T. and his son is personal connections. Big Meech himself allegedly said that the show has strengthened his bond with his 24-year-old son, who plays him on the show.

“For me, having the ability to play the role of pop is very important. “I’m most excited about his dad,” 50 said in an interview with XXL in 2022. “When he’s on the phone, he’ll call and talk and say, ‘I don’t know if you realize this when you’re doing this, but you moved him closer to me . Because he spends more time thinking about the things we’ve experienced and done, and he won’t go to jail.”

In 2007, Big Meech pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30 years in prison for maintaining an ongoing criminal enterprise and money laundering. An order filed on February 27 reduced Big Meech’s sentence from 324 months to 292 months.

That same 12 months, McGriff, who also had close ties to fellow Nineteen Fifties rap foe Ja Rule, was sentenced to life in prison for racketeering, double murder for hire, drug trafficking and drug laundering Income.
