50 Cent has become Drake’s beef consultant.
When it comes to rap feuds, 50 Cent has an undeniable track record. He famously obliterated Ja Rule and Murder Inc. in what could be considered a gentleman’s sweep and went toe-to-toe with names like Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Rick Ross, and more in legendary “seven-game series” battles. These days, 50 positions himself more as a beef strategist, often sharing insights about how he’d handle conflicts if he were still deeply engaged in the rap feud scene.
Recently, 50 weighed in on one of hip-hop’s most talked-about rivalries: Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar. Sitting down with Big Boy, 50 not only confirmed that he and Drake seem to be on good terms but also revealed that Drake was fully prepared to keep the battle going against Kendrick. 50 also had a list of Drake’s enemies, organized alphabetically.
Drake was "ready to go again" in the Kendrick Lamar beef, according to 50 Cent ?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I’m over the Drake vs. Kendrick debate. But since it’s the biggest topic in hip-hop right now, let’s dive in. How do I feel about 50’s comments? Honestly, knowing how calculated Drake is—a guy who can churn out diss tracks at a moment’s notice—it makes perfect sense that he’d have something in the vault ready for Kendrick. That said, I get why he might hesitate to release it. Getting into that headspace of tearing someone down on a track can be draining, maybe even ruin your vibe for the day. Still, if Kendrick crosses a line, I wouldn’t be surprised if Drake pulls a track out of storage and fires back.
Do you think we will get another Kendrick Lamar diss record from Drake in the next few months?
