50 Cent took a shot at Beyoncé after reports claimed her Cowboy Carter tour had opened with thousands of unsold seats.

TMZ reported that the opening night at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles had many empty spots just hours before the show began.

The concert marked the start of Beyoncé’s stadium-only tour, focused mainly on her new country-inspired album. Fans expecting older hits were met instead with a setlist that mostly featured songs from the new project.

After seeing the report, 50 Cent reacted on Instagram by posting a screenshot of the story and pointing out the slow ticket sales. The rapper, known for mocking other celebrities, appeared to enjoy the moment.

Beyoncé has not responded to 50 Cent or the reports about ticket sales. Her husband, JAY-Z, has also remained silent, though he has often been a target of 50’s public criticism.

50 has previously said that JAY-Z tried to keep him from performing at the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show. He claimed that JAY-Z told organizers the NFL had a problem with 50 Cent being part of the lineup.

The show featured Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige. 50 felt the excuse made no sense, especially since he was already doing business with NFL teams.

The rapper has also reacted publicly to JAY-Z’s legal issues. Last year, both JAY-Z and Diddy were accused in a lawsuit filed by an unnamed woman.

She later dropped the case after parts of her story were found to be false. Still, 50 Cent used the situation to take jabs at JAY-Z on social media.

JAY-Z has never responded to 50’s taunts, even though the rapper continues to bring him up during interviews and online posts.
