'You should become a blogger cause it’s obvious you have nothing going on in your life' - Floyd Mayweather finally responds to 50 cent and its epic!

For a while now, 50 cent has been shading his former bestie, Floyd Mayweather on social media and he's not responded.

Things however got messy this weekend as 50 cent’s recent attack came after it was reported that Mayweather is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend, Jennifer Duran. Reacting to the report, an Instagram user praised Duran for doing what Medina couldn’t do.

However, Medina disclosed that she never wanted to have a child with the boxer, adding that she wants a husband and not a baby. 50cent then used her response as an opportunity to attack Mayweather.

With that, Mayweather took to his page to give 50 cent a piece of his mind and its epic!

Read the full piece below... and by the way, 50 cent has promised to take his time to prepare an equally epic clapback...

Curtis “Confidential Informant” Jackson, you're mad because your oldest son Marquees mother doesn’t want to be with you! Your Son, your own flesh and blood don't want nothing to do with you! You haven't had a hit song on radio in who knows when and you’re definitely not hot enough to even sell records anymore so Interscope dropped you.
You are jealous of any rapper, athlete or entertainer that’s hot or got something going on for themselves. You are a certified snitch and we got paperwork to prove it. You talk about Ja-Rule but you stole his whole style and ran with it! You’re the only self proclaimed gangster that’s never put in work! You need to pay homage to the real 50cent for stealing his name and his storyline.
Your claim to fame was getting shot numerous times & living to tell it and you think that's Gangster? Where at? You’re currently living in a fucking apartment in Jersey, you are always in somebody else's business just to stay relevant. You should just become a blogger cause it’s obvious you don’t have nothing going on in your life. Are you mad that Kanye West ended your career?
The only thing you got going on is Power and everybody watches that because Ghost is a dope ass character on the show. You can leave the show everybody will still watch Power, but out here in the real world I’m The Real Ghost.
That’s not a Mansion in Connecticut that you're in debt for, that’s a dump, a money pit an oversized trap house! It was dope when Mike Tyson had it in the late 80’s early 90’s, but you couldn't afford to maintain it. You’re always talking about somebody is broke, but the last time I checked it was Curtis Jackson that filed for bankruptcy not Floyd Mayweather.
So quick to gossip like a Bitch, why don't you tell everybody how you got Herpes from DJ. Where's your memes for that, huh? Or better yet, post on how your Coca-Cola deal wasn’t really 300 million you fucking liar and tell how that spinning G-Unit necklace that somebody got robbed for was fake. Just remember, I was with you everyday and your driver Bruce was my driver also. I know where all your bones are buried, so be easy Curtis Jackson! And by the way, don’t ask to borrow no more money from me.

50 cent says, 

 

I must have hurt your feelings champ,you had someone write a book I’m gonna take my time with this so I get it all out we are gonna start with your 11 Domestic violence cases. Wait a minute I’ll do them in order remember you asked for this.

When the incident occurred, Dallas motorcycle officers were escorting the body of Senior Cpl. Tyrone Andrews to a location in East Texas. Andrews died July 14 of cancer.

Cardi B plans on taking Offset's charge after his arrest for Gun and Drug possession

Cardi B is reportedly planning on “taking” the criminal charges for her husband Offset following his arrest for Gun and Drug possession in Atlanta.

The Migos rapper was arrested on Friday afternoon July 20th on gun and drug charges after he and his bodyguard were pulled over outside of Atlanta.

Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, and his bodyguard, Senay Gezahgn, were pulled over in Jonesboro, Georgia, for the illegal lane change when Clayton County police searched his 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera and found three guns and less than one ounce of marijuana and over $107,000 in cash, according to Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB.


The 26-year-old who is already on probation for a 2015 arrest on drugs and weapons charges, was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and possession of a weapon during a crime. He also faces misdemeanor charges for marijuana possession and making an improper lane change.

But thanks to his wife, Cardi B who is now planning on coming forward to take the criminal charges in other for him not to spend some years in jail.

An insider close to Migos exclusively told MTO that Cardi B is planning on telling authorities that the gun and the Porsche Offset was driving in are hers.

The insider explained, "She's going to tell police that [Offset] didn't know that the gun was inside or the weed."

As explained, Cardi is not a convicted felon and won't be in any trouble for having a gun in her car. And if Offset didn't know it was there, then he wouldn't be in trouble either.

And as for the weed, it's been decriminalized in Atlanta. If Cardi admits being the owner of the weed, she's only likely to get a ticket. But if Offset admits to owning the gun and the weed since he's on probation, he could be sent to prison for 5-years.
