50 Cent shared alleged text exchange with Lil Meech amid feud with Big Meech: Details explored

50 Cent and Big Meech worked together to bring Starz series' BMF to television based on the latter's life, starring his son Lil Meech. However, shortly after Big Meech was released from prison in October 2024, he appeared in a video with 50 Cent's rival Rick Ross promoting a welcome-back concert for him in January 2025.

"I can't believe this man. U act as if I'm your enemy. I've only showed u love. I'm human, I go thru my own sh*t, but I never switched up on u."

Demetrius also hinted at his father's connection with 50 Cent's rival Rick Ross being monetary, adding:

“F*ck Ross but he gave my dad some bread so he can afford to pay his bills until our next season starts,”

"what next season little [ninja emoji]."
