Kendrick Lamar Fans Upset by Rumored 50 Cent and Drake Collaboration

Several Kendrick Lamar fans are displeased at the prospect of 50 Cent potentially collaborating with Drake.

On Sunday (July 21), 50 Cent took to Instagram to share a picture of himself alongside Drake. The two were seen spending time together on Saturday (June 20) at the Cabana Poolbar in Toronto. The caption of the photo stirred up emotions among K-Dot enthusiasts. 50 Cent hinted at working on something special with the Canadian rapper, Drake.

“Brainstorming last night, me and @champagnepapi gonna get the [camera] rolling,” he captioned. “Biggest ting on your TV GLG [traffic light emoji] GreenLightGang @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

This news didn’t sit well with Kendrick Lamar’s fans, who perceived 50 Cent to be choosing the wrong side. The tension between Kendrick and Drake began on March 22 after Kendrick dissed Drake on Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That.”

“Wrong side 50. Might as well side with Diddy,” one user commented.

“How you got an LA hat on though, and you with Drake?” another wrote.

“50 really out here supporting what costed him 9 shots and a war against Kenny to tear down hahaha,” added a third user.

Some fans expressed their disappointment outright and criticized 50 Cent for cozying up to Drake instead of his old rival, Ja Rule. They even pointed out Kendrick’s previous accusations against Drake of inappropriate behavior with underage women in his diss tracks “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.”

“Wow, you are the biggest sellout 50. Get your money, man,” an Instagram user commented.

“Mannnnnnn this makes me sad don’t hang with him,” another person wrote.

“50 hanging with a pedi,” a third person added.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s long-standing feud dates back to when Kendrick proclaimed himself the top dog in the hip-hop scene. Kendrick fired shots at Drake in Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That,” which led to numerous exchanges of diss tracks between the two. Drake responded with tracks like “Push Ups,” the “Buried Alive Interlude” parody, the since-deleted “Taylor Made Freestyle,” and “Family Matters.”

Kendrick countered by calling Drake a culture vulture and criticizing his behavior with younger women in tracks like “Euphoria,” “6:16 in LA,” and “Meet the Grahams.” The battle culminated with a lyrical ambush from Kendrick with “Not Like Us,” before Drake seemingly put an end to the public feud with “The Heart Part 6.” Since then, Kendrick has remained silent.

This potential collaboration between 50 Cent and Drake has reignited the feud in the eyes of K-Dot’s fans, who were quick to voice their disapproval on social media platforms.

Many are left wondering the implications of this potential collaboration and how it may stir up old wounds in the hip-hop community. The reactions to 50 Cent and Drake hanging out together have been mixed, but Kendrick Lamar’s fans have predominantly viewed it as a betrayal.

It’s evident that the ties between these prominent rappers carry a lot of history and controversy, making any form of collaboration or public appearance a significant talking point for fans and the hip-hop industry alike.

The strong reactions from fans indicate that the old rivalries and accusations, particularly concerning Drake’s past behavior, remain fresh in their minds. It shows that in the world of hip-hop, alliances and feuds have far-reaching impacts on both artists’ careers and their fan bases.

As always, the hip-hop community continues to watch and react to every move made by its top artists. Only time will tell how this potential collaboration will unfold and what new dynamics it might bring to the already complex relationships within the industry.
