A familiar rivalry between 50 Cent and Young Buck resurfaced this week, playing out once again across social media. The latest exchange began with a stylized post from 50 Cent, who reworked imagery from the television series The Dukes of Hazzard, inserting himself and Young Buck into the scene. The image also included T.I. and BroRilla, extending the scope of the joke beyond its original target. What followed was a mix of humor, criticism, and escalation that quickly circulated online.
BroRilla appeared to receive the post with a sense of humor, a reaction that 50 Cent highlighted in a follow-up share. He captioned the repost, “They Mad because you up! Young Buck kicked out, you in the group…at least I know you ain’t looking at my a*s. LOL.” The moment briefly softened the tone, though it did little to defuse the broader tension surrounding the exchange.
Young Buck responded with a video that struck a markedly different note, pushing back against the portrayal and issuing a direct challenge. “When n****s started trolling, I do sh*t that a n***a wish he could do. Walk through your neighborhood,” he said, continuing, “Walk through your hood first. You wanna play all these gay ass jokes and sh*t. Walk through your neighborhood and let’s see how the folks treat you with no security… I ain’t got nothing to say to you. I’m getting money in my hood. You ain’t even funny no more. We all know you’re a joke.” His remarks framed the exchange less as satire and more as a personal dispute.
Feuds in rap now play out as much online as on the mic
50 Cent responded by reposting the video with another pointed caption. “Look at this punk ass we know you like them boys BUCK. Brorilla like the girls, that’s a better fit around here PUNK! You in your hood because, you broke boy.” Tony Yayo added, “We be in Southside all the time,” reinforcing the message in the comments. Both posts were later removed, though they had already circulated widely.
While T.I. has not addressed the image directly, his separate conflict with 50 Cent has continued through a series of diss tracks released in recent weeks. Taken together, the overlapping exchanges reflect how longstanding tensions in hip-hop now unfold as much through social media as they do through music.
