What does 50 Cent Know That We Don't?🤔 The Story Behind 50 vs. Big Meech

Discover how 50 Cent’s feud with Big Meech escalated from a business partnership to a public battle over loyalty, power, and reputation in the hip-hop world.

The ongoing feud between 50 Cent and Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory has taken center stage in the hip-hop world, intertwining real-life tension with the dramatized version of Meech’s story in the Starz series BMF. Once allies in bringing the Black Mafia Family saga to television, their relationship has soured due to allegations of disloyalty, accusations of cooperation with authorities, and social media warfare. With 50 Cent using his platform to call out Big Meech and his associates, and Meech working to maintain his legacy as he transitions back into society, their clash has become more than just an industry dispute - it’s a battle over power, loyalty, and reputation.

Big Meech’s Release and the Origins of the Feud

As of October 2024, Big Meech has been moved from federal prison to a residential reentry program in Miami, with his sentence set to end on January 27, 2026. The Starz series BMF, which chronicles the rise of the Black Mafia Family, is based on the lives of Big Meech and his brother, Terry "Southwest T" Flenory.

50 Cent, the executive producer of the Starz series BMF, has long maintained a collaborative relationship with Big Meech. However, tensions flared when Big Meech aligned himself with Rick Ross - a longtime rival of 50 Cent. Their association, which included promoting a benefit concert together, was seen by 50 as an act of disloyalty, further straining their relationship.

Social Media Warfare: 50 Cent vs. Big Meech

In early February 2025, 50 Cent posted a photo of a rat alongside the infamous lyric from Rick Ross’ 2010 song “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)”: “I think I’m Big Meech.” He also teased a forthcoming tell-all documentary from Tammy Cowins, a former BMF associate and alleged government informant.

Meech, for his part, denied the accusations in a video, stating: “I wasn’t gonna address this because I’m not trying to let nobody trick me off the streets. But I’ve never folded, never told — never will. Death before dishonor, always.”

50, however, wasn’t convinced. “You tricked Cuff off the streets, n-gga. You told Tammy to tell, b***h.”

Lil Meech Caught in the Middle

50 also took to social media to amplify these claims, sharing private text exchanges with Big Meech’s son, Lil Meech. These revelations exposed internal family conflicts and deepened the rift between them.

50 Cent posted a private text exchange with Lil Meech on Instagram, revealing the latter's frustration over the situation. Clearly upset by 50’s actions, Lil Meech attempted to set the record straight. "I can't believe this man," he wrote. "You act as if I'm your enemy—I’ve only ever shown you love. I'm human, I go through my own shit, but I never switched up on you." He also expressed disappointment that 50 Cent had unfollowed him on Instagram, despite his role in the rapper-produced show. "This internet shit is throwing me off, man," he added. "You know me in real life."

The most unexpected revelation from Lil Meech’s text exchange was his blunt dismissal of Rick Ross, despite the rapper's role in boosting Big Meech’s profile with his 2010 hit "B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)." Lil Meech didn’t hold back, writing, "F*ck Ross, but he gave my dad some bread so he can afford to pay his bills until our next season starts."

50 Cent remained unmoved by Lil Meech’s words. Instead, he doubled down, posting the exchange on Instagram with the mocking caption, "what next season little [ninja emoji]." His response strongly hinted that he’s considering pulling the plug on BMF. If true, this could impact not only Lil Meech’s main source of income but also Big Meech’s financial support.

Young Buck and The Game Weigh In

Former G-Unit member Young Buck cautioned 50 Cent to back off, a warning that 50 openly ridiculed.

Young Buck stepped into the feud, taking to Instagram on Sunday (February 9) to issue a PSA directed at 50 Cent.

“Shout out to Big Meech, welcome home,” he said. “Quit playing with dude, quit playing with dude. I’mma say that much.”

However, 50 Cent quickly caught wind of Buck’s comments and didn’t hold back. On Monday morning (February 10), he fired back on Instagram, sharing a clip of Buck’s video alongside a throwback photo of himself with Big Meech.

“This fool fell out with me because he like boys,” 50 Cent wrote, reviving old allegations about his former G-Unit associate. “I didn’t tell him to go loving on a Tranny he couldn’t resist like that Bussy.”

The Game also commented on the drama between 50 Cent and Big Meech, especially after Lil Meech (who plays his father in 50’s BMF series) jumped into the mix.

“Just seen a text from Lil Meech to 50 that got me dying,” The Game wrote on his Instagram Story. “Hey Lil Meech, you were supposed to be like, ‘F you, this BMF and I’m standing with my pops!’”

Despite his own rocky history with 50 Cent, The Game momentarily put their beef aside to react to the exchange.

“Now me and Fifth got our own issues, but them s#### on pause while I post this,” he added. “Then Fifth said ‘what show lil [ninja emoji]’ & I damn near spit my water out. What happened to [ninja emoji]’s man? Big Meech, you can’t let 50 get at you like that!”

The Canceled "Welcome Home" Concert

50 Cent continued to escalate his feud with Big Meech following the last-minute cancellation of the highly anticipated "Welcome Home" concert. The event, set for February 13 in Sunrise, Florida, was meant to celebrate Meech’s release from prison and featured a star-studded lineup, including Lil Baby, 21 Savage, and Rick Ross. However, ticket holders were abruptly informed that the show was axed due to "unforeseen circumstances."

Taking to Instagram, 50 Cent wasted no time in mocking Meech. While sarcastically denying involvement in the cancellation, he issued a veiled warning about his behind-the-scenes influence.

"I had nothing to do with this, please stop calling my phone [shrug emoji]," he wrote. "I sincerely hope you have a nice day today, Happy Valentine’s Day. I’m stronger than you think I am [smirking face emoji]."

Adding fuel to the fire, 50 shared a text message from Dionne "Cuffy" Gatling, a St. Louis drug lord currently incarcerated, who accused Meech of cooperating with authorities to get him locked up. The message praised 50 for exposing "rats" and making them "jump ship left and right."

In a follow-up post, 50 reshared reactions from fans crediting him for the concert’s cancellation and took another jab at Meech. “I apologize for your trip to Miami, but [ninja]’s been playing wit me. So you know. Let’s build when y’all get back to the city!”

Adding another layer to the drama, 50 even reposted a video blaming Rick Ross for the event’s downfall, writing: “If you brought an outfit and was ready to turn up, I apologize for whoever’s responsible. Let’s get to dat!”

The drama doesn’t seem to be dying down anytime soon, with 50 even predicting that the Welcome Home concert would be doomed before it happened. “Y’all gon’ be disappointed if Lil Baby don’t show up? When Skilla [Baby] don’t show up? When [Icewear] Vezzo don’t show up? [Meech] can’t even go! He on house arrest.”

The Future of BMF, Meech’s Royalties, and the Feud

Despite the heated exchanges and growing tensions, the conflict between 50 Cent and Big Meech remains unresolved. What started as a business partnership has unraveled into a public feud filled with accusations and social media jabs. While the show has revived interest in their story, details about any financial compensation or royalties Big Meech may receive from the series remain undisclosed. With 50 Cent hinting at potential consequences for the BMF series and Big Meech working to rebuild his life after years behind bars, the situation continues to evolve. Whether this rift will deepen or eventually be mended remains to be seen, but for now, the drama between these two influential figures in hip-hop shows no signs of slowing down.
