50 Cent shared a picture of himself smoking hookah, while sitting on a couch next to a tombstone that says “RIP”.
Also, he had a second old red carpet picture of Gotti. He wrote: “I’m smoking on dat Gotti pack. Nah God bless him. LOL.”
Gotti’s passing followed rumors he had suffered another stroke and brain bleed. He had a history of health issues, including diabetes.
After news that Gotti was on life support first spread on social media, 50 Cent posted an Instagram that said, “Damn, I wanted him to see my new shows yo!”. He later deleted the post.
Also, 50 Cent trolled the record executive in August 2024 after it was reported that Gotti had suffered a stroke.
At the time, 50 Cent reportedly posted a photo of Gotti walking with a cane, and wrote: “Damn homie, in high school you was the man homie, WTF happened to you?”, referencing his 2002 song “Wanka.”
He added, “I want Irv to get well, so he can have to watch my next wave LOL.”
The feud
50 Cent’s feud with Gotti began in the late 1990’s due to the rivalry between Murder Inc. and 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records.
In 1999, 50 Cent’s close associate allegedly robbed Ja Rule, who was Murder Inc.’s then-leading artist.
In March of the following year, 50 Cent was stabbed during a fight with Murder Inc. executives at the Hit Factory studio in New York.
Rapper Black Child reportedly took responsibility for the stabbing later on.
That May, 50 Cent was shot nine times outside his grandmother’s home in Queens. Investigators alleged that the attack was planned by drug lord Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, who had ties to Gotti and Murder Inc.
However, McGriff was never charged in connection with the shooting.
The feud continued over the years, including when 50 Cent taunted Gotti for Nelly and Ashanti’s rekindled romance after Gotti claimed he was romantically involved with Ashanti. New York Post
