50 Cent has surprised his fans and foes alike by posting an apology on his Instagram account.

The rapper, who is notorious for his online beefs and insults, claimed that he wanted to make peace with those he has offended.

Hey if I have offended you in anyway, I like to apologize. We can get more done together, why we work against each other,” he wrote on Tuesday, January 16.

The post, which has received over 1.5 million likes and 40,000 comments, sparked mixed reactions from his followers. Some praised him for his maturity and humility, while others doubted his sincerity and motives.

50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has a long history of trolling and feuding with other celebrities, especially in the hip-hop industry.

He has been involved in verbal and physical altercations with rappers such as Ja Rule, The Game, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, and more.

His most recent target has been Diddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records and one of the richest and most influential figures in music. 50 Cent has mocked Diddy for his alleged sexual assault issues.

Diddy has been accused of sexual assault by four women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie, who claimed that he forced her to perform oral sex on him and threatened to kill her if she ever left him.

Diddy has denied all the allegations and said that they were part of a “smear campaign” orchestrated by his enemies.

It is unclear whether 50 Cent’s apology is genuine or a publicity stunt, as he has not specified who he is apologizing to or what he is apologizing for.

Some fans have speculated that he is trying to promote his upcoming projects, such as his new album, his TV shows, or his book.
