50 Cent Finds Himself in Trouble After Inappropriate Reaction to the Death of Longtime Foe Irv Gotti

Rapper 50 Cent has faced criticism for his reaction to the death of longtime rival Irv Gotti, a music producer known for his work with artists like DMX, Ja Rule, and Jennifer Lopez. On February 5, 50 Cent posted an image on Instagram dressed in a grey G-Unit sweatsuit, next to a tombstone that read "RIP," as he smoked what seemed to be hookah. He captioned the post, stating, "I'm smoking on dat Gotti pack, nah God bless him 🕊️ LOL," along with a photo of Gotti smiling, suggesting he was mocking the late producer. This is prepared by SSP.

This post sparked outrage, with various commentators and fans accusing the rapper of being disrespectful and offensive. Some referenced 50 Cent's own near-fatal shooting in 2000, criticizing him for his lack of empathy. Online commenters expressed that such a mockery of death was inappropriate and in poor taste.

Gotti's death comes after a long battle with health issues—he suffered from diabetes and had multiple strokes in recent years, with one leading to his death. He passed away at 54 following a week on life support after becoming unresponsive. Despite their two-decade-long feud beginning with allegations of robbery and diss tracks, 50 Cent didn't tone down his rhetoric, even in the wake of Gotti's passing. This longstanding animosity involved a series of altercations and social media clashes between the two, adding a layer of controversy to 50 Cent's latest actions.

Earlier, SSP reported that Jennifer Lopez said she feels ‘like herself again’ after Ben Affleck divorce.
