50 Cent has recently shared his thoughts on the ongoing feud between hip-hop giants Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the rapper and entrepreneur emphasized that he does not see Drake’s situation as a loss.

Instead, he highlighted it as a testament to Drake’s immense success in the music industry.

50 Cent Shares Insightful Perspective on Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s Feud:

50 Cent explained. He pointed out that even Drake’s attitude and choices reflect his competitive nature:

“This is hip-hop. I think it’s competitive to a degree, obviously,” he began. “Even Drake, his position and the attitude and his choices, those are 50 Cent choices. ‘F–k it, everybody got to get it then.’ When it becomes Drake versus Kendrick, it’s because it’s the only thing you can put up against Drake’s success.”

The G-Unit founder went a step further, discussing the broader implications of their rivalry on hip-hop culture. He suggests that success is a double-edged sword.

“Look, our culture loves to see you go up because it’s confirmation that they can go up. But when you stay up — ‘I want this s–t forever, man’ — they go, ‘Well, goddamn. When you going to come down? If you don’t come down, I ain’t going to have my chance to go up.’ And then it’s these clouds that come over you, and that cloud is doubt, a shadow of doubt that doesn’t come from material or your work ethic.”

He elaborated on how this pressure creates a cloud of doubt surrounding successful artists.

It isn’t about their material or hard work; rather, it stems from the artist community questioning their consistency.

“It’s doubt from the artist community, where they say, ‘I don’t know, his new s–t is cool, but it’s not his first s–t.’ They do that to you and Drake’s just experiencing what you experience as a backlash from success, from the consistency he’s delivered over and over. I don’t see a loss for Drake. The people who bought Drake material are going to buy Drake material when his next song comes out.”

Despite ongoing debates among fans, many feel Kendrick’s recent track, “Not Like Us,” has put him in a strong position following the feud.

Lamar has further solidified his influence in the industry by releasing a music video for the song and hosting events like The Pop Out – Ken & Friends in Los Angeles.

50 Cent’s insights reveal that the rap game is not just about competition; it’s a reflection of the pressures and expectations that success brings. While fans may pick sides, the reality is that both artists continue to thrive in the dynamic world of hip-hop.
