Bizarre Beefs: The Time When Conor McGregor and Rapper 50 Cent traded shots on social media

McGregor and Jackson first engaged in conflict back in 2017

Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather may disagree on a lot of things but hating on the rapper 50 cent is something they’d agree on. While Mayweather and 50 had a very public beef that lasted for a brief period, the beef between the rapper and the former MMA champion is less known.

Just like the Mayweather beef, 50 was caught off guard when the Irishman randomly took shots at the rapper during the press conferences for his fight against the undefeated boxer. “You and 50 (Cent) are two fake money b****. He’s bankrupt, and you’re about to be,” said McGregor trying to get a reaction from Mayweather.

50 responded to this saying, “what the f*** wrong wit this white boy, you fighting Floyd not me fool. LOL. “ In an ideal world this is where the conflict should have ended but we live in anything but an ideal world.

Both McGregor and Jackson hold the distinction of the worst first pitches is history

While announcing a deal with the fast-food chain, Burger King on his Instagram, McGregor yet again took unwarranted shots at the rapper. The post which featured praise for Jay Z, criticism for Mayweather, and a friendly reminder of a bet between himself and Cristiano Ronaldo, ended with a sneak diss at 50.

“Someone tag 50cent in this for me.He blocked me on this mad 50-year-old Instagram blocker.Ahh don’t block me 50 kid, I still like some of your songs. The older ones hahah”, read McGregor’s post ultimately led to an outright racist reply by Curtis Jackson, the rapper’s real name.

While he praised McGregor’s abilities as a talented fighter he added, “He’s talented for a white boy. But, you know, n**as have superior genes when it comes to that kind of s***.” While the response was not well received by most, 50 continued his barrage targeted at McGregor even accusing him of cheating on his girlfriend with the pop star, Rita Ora.

McGregor would fire one last shot aimed at 50 on international women’s day 2018. He would accuse the rapper of needed a bra for his bulging chest. McGregor did hand out an olive branch trying to squash the beef saying, “It’s all love tho fifty serious, you are a mad bastard, but we still proper love a few of your tunes over on this side of the world.”

However the problem with picking a fight with Curtis Jackson is he’ll not forget or let you do the same until your dying day. Shortly after the bus incident involving McGregor, Jackson would post an image of Britney Spears charging at the Paparazzi. After his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223, 50 would yet again taunt McGregor with a photo of the finishing sequence of the fight, titled, “Tap, Tap, Tap, get the strap”
