Musician and businessman, Curtis Jackson, better known as 50 Cent, is certainly no stranger to throwing shade online, but recently, he found himself on the receiving end.
During an interview with Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate earlier this week, Louisiana Senator, Sam Jenkin, shared his thoughts on 50 Cent taking Shreveport by storm. Per available details, he opened G-Unit Studios Film and Television Studios there in April this year, as well as holding his Humor & Harmony Festival there this summer and more.
50 Cent has become the second-largest property owner in the area, pouring millions into Shreveport as part of a three-phase revitalization plan, per AllHipHop. He’s also looking to implement housing and youth programs.
Despite this, Jenkin has some concerns, urging the city to “pump the brakes a little bit” and “see what else is out there.” Unsurprisingly, these remarks didn’t sit well with the rapper, who promptly took to Instagram to respond.

“Sam Jenkins must not want things to turn around in Shreveport,” he wrote. “Who would not do a deal to wait for a imaginary deal to come? Or maybe he just lacks faith in me, what you think ?” In another post, he revealed that he’d just purchased five new properties in the region, referencing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. “This is phase ll I just bought the Le hall building +4 other properties down town. It appears to be upsetting people, but I don’t understand why nothing was active. 🤔 Dr king said people from Shreveport were very peculiar! 😳” his post read.
The senator isn’t the only person 50 Cent has called out on Instagram as of late, however. Recently, he also shared a disturbing clip of Benzino, in which he seemingly threatens suicide.
50 Cent alleged that this was all because his girlfriend “called the cops for him allegedly beating her.” Benzino later hopped online to clear things up. According to him, he was actually rehearsing for a Tubi movie.
