- Cute!
50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather appear to have ended their years-long feud and may be friends once again.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper and the box office-busting fighter were almost inseparable when the pair were each at the height of their fame.
50 Cent attended Mayweather's 30th birthday in 2007 in Las Vegas and was ringside for a number of his best-selling boxing bouts.
But around 2012 things started to turn sour. They had a dispute over money, according to Bleacher Report, and 50 Cent, in a viral video, challenged Mayweather to prove he could read by reciting "one full page from a Harry Potter book."
During a recent guest appearance on The Breakfast Club show on Power 105.1 FM, the rapper said he and Floyd are friendly again.
"I went to see him when I was in Vegas around my birthday," 50 Cent said. "It was cool."
50 Cent still calls Floyd Mayweather, 'Champ,' he said
According to 50 Cent, fellow musician Mo'Nique tried to help repair their friendship, but the rapper was unfazed at the time, saying they don't need each other — in contrast to the numerous people around the boxer that are dependent on him, he said.
"Me and him get into an argument, and it can go on for a lot longer because we don't really need each other," he said.
When Mayweather and The Money Team members endure difficulties in their relationship, 50 Cent explained, they resolve it "faster" because they're "co-dependent."
When talking on The Breakfast Club, it seemed clear the hit rapper-turned-actor and businessman still respected Mayweather. "I call him 'Champ' when I talk about him because I don't want to take away the discipline and the work that he put in," he said.
When asked what the first conversation was like after their argument, 50 Cent, imitating Mayweather, said: "Why did you pull up on me, fam?"
"Yo what took you so long?" Mayweather also said, according to the rapper. "We can't get the time back."
But the pair appear to be friends once again, putting to rest a feud that lasted for years.
