50 Cent advised Drake that he “didn’t lose a damn thing” following his conflict with Kendrick Lamar.

“What exactly did he lose if he got $300 something million on his last tour?”

Drake‘s rap beef with Kendrick Lamar came to a close earlier this year in May and several figures in the Hip-Hop sphere have continued to weigh in with their thoughts. 50 Cent recently sat down with Billboard and revealed the advice he gave Drizzy after the dust settled, reassuring him that he didn’t “lose” like the general public is insisting.

“I was telling him, it’s not him. I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you,” he responded when asked about what he thinks the 6 God’s next move should be. “Don’t let yourself think that for a second. On some real sh*t, I said, ‘They said you lost, okay. Well what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose, if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a motherf**king thing, man.”

As he continued, the “Candy Shop” rapper said the entire ordeal was good for the genre overall because it made each artist push out quality releases. “The resistance will make you feel like your material isn’t good. Then you gotta figure out how to keep pushing, how to keep creating — because that’s what it feels like to you at the moment. That sh*t was good for Hip-Hop. It made both of them create quality material faster,” he said.

The “Poetic Justice” collaborators were going at each other all throughout April and May after Kendrick fired a major shot in “Like That” by Future and Metro Boomin. Drake swung back with tracks like “Push Ups,” “Taylor Made Freestyle,” “Family Matters,” and “The Heart Part 6,” and the feud spawned “Euphoria,” “6:16 in L.A.,” “Meet The Grahams,” and “Not Like Us” from the West Coast spitter. Kung Fu Kenny hosted the grand finale in the form of a massive concert, “The Pop Out: Ken And Friends,” where he performed “Not Like Us” six times in a row to a packed arena.

Speaking of losing, Fif has been doing the exact opposite all throughout 2024. This year alone, he dropped his book titled The Accomplice, sold his Diddy Do It? documentary to Netflix, hosted his inaugural Humor & Harmony Festival, opened G-Unit Studios In Shreveport, La., and so much more.
