50 Cent gave Drake this advice after the Kendrick Lamar beef

Although 50 cents is known to be the Top troll in hip-hophe can be the nice guy sometimes.

During his recent interview with billboardthe G-Unit boss shared his encouraging words drake after the publication of “Not like us“, which is considered by many to be Kendrick Lamar the winner of theirs epic rap beef.

Asked if he had any advice for the Toronto artist, he said: “I told him it's not him. “I hear on the outskirts, it's not you. Don't think that for a second. On some real crap, I said, 'They said you lost, okay.' Well, what did you lose?' What exactly did he lose if he got $300 million on his last tour? You haven't lost a thing, man. When it’s the right moment, you keep your creative energy in the right place and keep creating.”

He continued, “If you slow down because you feel like, 'What the fuck?' The resistance will make you feel like your material is not good. Then you need to figure out how to keep pushing and keep being creative – because that's exactly what it feels like to you right now. That was good for hip-hop. This allowed both of them to produce high-quality material more quickly.”

The “Power” creator also praised Drake's creativity in this fight, including the decision to release a video for “Family Matters.” He said, “The damn king [good kid, m.A.A.d city] Car in the video. That was a mystery. Everything was tied to something. I thought: What the hell? That didn't exist in hip-hop before. Before this fight, I don't remember this being this car and this being this car. All it entailed was some other crap. It was almost encrypted.”

He's referring to the “Family Matters” video, which shows a van similar to the one Lamar used on the deluxe cover of “Good kid, mAAd City” being crushed.

Although 50 Cent praised Lamar in the interview, saying “I love Kendrick,” he went out of his way to highlight the release of Drake's dissident tracks rather than K. Dot's at the height of her tremors.

When the Toronto artist released “Push Ups,” he wrote on X“It’s all you [ninja emoji] was smoked by a light-skinned Ni66a. LOL, you better get high as mother FVCKERS and come up with something!”

He did it The same goes for “family matters.” So it's interesting for 50 Cent and other veteran hip-hop personalities to reflect on how the fight played out months later.
