On a recent episode of the Club Ambition podcast, host Sound and the crew weighed in on the latest drama between 50 Cent and Joe Budden, sparked by 50’s controversial reaction to Irv Gotti’s passing.
The conversation kicked off with the hosts discussing how 50 wasted no time making his feelings known. Just minutes after news broke about Gotti’s death, 50 posted a video of himself smoking a hookah next to a Halloween-style tombstone, captioning it, “Smoking that Irv Gotti pack.” The Club Ambition hosts couldn’t help but react to the sheer audacity of the post, acknowledging 50’s well-documented history of holding grudges.
Joe Budden wasn’t having it, calling 50’s actions “dark and gruesome” and even suggesting that therapy might do him some good. But if there’s one thing everyone on Club Ambition agreed on, it’s that telling 50 Cent he needs therapy is asking for trouble. Sure enough, 50 fired back by posting AI-generated images of Budden sleepwalking naked, sending the beef into overdrive.
Laughing at the absurdity of it all, the hosts debated whether Budden would actually follow through with his legal threats. While some thought Budden had a case, others weren’t convinced, pointing out that 50 Cent is no stranger to lawsuits and rarely backs down.
Taking things up a notch, 50 even challenged Budden to say he needed therapy to his face, a move that had the Club Ambition crew shaking their heads. “Why are these two grown men still beefing like this?” one of the hosts questioned. “Joe’s in his podcasting bag, 50’s making TV moves, and they’re out here throwing AI pics at each other?”
The hosts also dove into the real history behind 50’s grudge against Murder Inc., explaining how Irv Gotti’s ties to the Supreme Team, a notorious street crew, played a role in 50’s near-fatal shooting. While some fans believe 50’s refusal to forgive is justified, others argue that he’s keeping old street beef alive unnecessarily.
The crew also weighed in on the mystery surrounding Rick Ross’ canceled show, and of course, 50 Cent’s name was all over the speculation.
Ross had to publicly announce that his scheduled performance was canceled by the venue, but no official explanation was given. This left fans—and the Club Ambition hosts—wondering what really went down.
One theory floated around was that the show’s cancellation might have been linked to recent snitching allegations against an unnamed artist, possibly leading to security concerns or even death threats. The hosts debated whether this was a legitimate reason or just industry politics at play.
Media personality 507 had previously predicted that other artists might start backing out of Ross’ show if the snitching rumors picked up steam—even if there was no concrete evidence. Now, with the event being scrapped, it seemed like that prediction wasn’t far off.
The Club Ambition team couldn’t help but laugh at 50 Cent’s long-standing reputation for pettiness, recalling his infamous stunt of buying out the front rows at a Ja Rule concert just to make the venue look empty. “Bro, 50 is different when it comes to beef,” one of the hosts said. “This man doesn’t let anything slide.”
Adding to the mess, 50 Cent also posted private text messages between himself and Lil Meech, revealing personal business discussions. Lil Meech seemed frustrated, questioning why 50 was dragging him into his feud with Big Meech, his father. The Club Ambition crew saw this as another classic 50 move—airing out personal convos to gain the upper hand.
By the end of the segment, the hosts were in agreement: if 50 Cent is beefing with you, he’s not letting it go anytime soon. While the exact reason for Ross’ canceled show remains a mystery, Club Ambition made one thing clear—when it comes to industry drama, 50 Cent is always in the mix.
