By Entertainment Desk December 29, 2025
The hip-hop world is on edge as 50 Cent remains eerily quiet following a bold Christmas Day diss freestyle from New York veterans Fabolous, Jim Jones, Maino, and Dave East – with only a cryptic social media warning hinting at something explosive brewing.

What started as light podcast banter has escalated into potential full-blown beef. The quartet, hosts of the popular Let’s Rap About It podcast, dropped “Squatter’s Rights Freestyle” on December 25, rapping over classic 50 Cent instrumentals like “Back Down,” “I’ll Whip Ya Head Boy,” and “A Baltimore Love Thing.” The track directly responds to Fif’s earlier trolling, where he labeled them “squatters” after allegedly exposing unpaid rent on their podcast studio space.

Fabolous delivered the sharpest jabs, with lines like “You know I got ‘Power,’ your shorty got hot showered” – a pointed reference to 50’s hit show and past allegations involving his ex, Daphne Joy. The others kept it subliminal but aggressive: Maino asserted his hustle on “Back Down,” Jim Jones boasted about millions, and Dave East added his Harlem flair.
The roots trace back to mid-December when the podcast criticized 50 Cent’s Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning about Diddy. Fif fired back by posting a voicemail allegedly from their landlord claiming thousands in back rent owed by Jim Jones, threatening to pay it himself to become part-owner and dubbing the group “squatters.”

Instead of clapping back with bars or memes – his usual playbook – 50 has stayed mostly silent. But on December 28, he posted a vague message interpreted by fans as a direct warning: something along the lines of impending regret for those who “play” with him. Sources say it’s chilling because when 50 goes quiet, it’s often before unloading lawsuits, exposés, or career-damaging moves rather than just diss tracks.

“Is he loading something way bigger – or about to shock the whole rap game?” fans are asking on social media. With 50’s history of legendary beefs (Ja Rule, Rick Ross, etc.) and his current mogul status – TV empire, liquor brands, massive tours – many believe he’s above jumping in the booth but could hit harder elsewhere.
Fabolous, known for punchline mastery, has the most personal history with Fif, including past light tensions. His verse has been praised as the standout, with reactions calling it a “cook.” Maino laughed it off in comments, while Jim Jones stayed aggressive in his bars.

The freestyle has racked up millions of views across platforms, reigniting NY rap debates. Some see it as fun holiday content; others warn it’s poking the bear. “50 don’t need to rap back – he’ll just buy the building,” one viral comment quipped.
As 2025 wraps up, all eyes are on Queens’ finest. Will he break silence with a nuclear response in the new year? Or let actions speak louder? Hip-hop holds its breath – because when 50 Cent stays silent, that’s often the scariest part.
Stay tuned. This could get legendary.
