Hip Hop OG Ed Lover throws shade at 50 Cent, accusing him of going overboard with his social media jabs at Diddy.

In his podcast “C’Mon Son,” Lover acknowledges that he enjoys humor, even recently cracking a Diddy joke himself. However, he takes aim at 50 Cent’s relentless trolling, stating, “As much as I love 50, I think 50 is stepping over the line now. I really do.”

Lover’s criticism goes beyond the tastelessness of the jokes. He uses a strong metaphor, saying, “He’s kicking the shit out this n***a while he’s down.” This suggests that 50 Cent is exploiting Diddy’s current struggles for comedic fodder.

The episode also explores the source of Diddy’s troubles. Lover echoes Uncle Luke’s theory, suggesting it’s retaliation from liquor giant Diageo, whom Diddy sued for racial discrimination. They point to the timing of the lawsuit and subsequent controversies as evidence.

This theory paints a picture of a powerful corporation punishing Diddy for daring to challenge them. Uncle Luke emphasizes this dynamic, comparing it to a “pimp shit” situation where Diddy’s past success was orchestrated for their benefit.

The episode highlights a potential power struggle between a music mogul and a corporate giant, with 50 Cent’s actions seen as insensitive and opportunistic.
