50 Cent Reveals Advice Given To Drake About Kendrick Beef
The relationship between 50 Cent and Drake has been generally positive and respectful, though they haven’t collaborated much musically.
Over the years, 50 Cent has praised Drake for his success and influence in the music industry. While 50 Cent comes from a more aggressive, gritty style of rap, Drake has been known for his versatility, blending rap, R&B, and pop. Despite their differences in style and era, 50 Cent has acknowledged Drake’s ability to dominate the charts and adapt to the changing landscape of hip-hop.
50 Cent reveals the advice he gave Drake after the Kendrick Lamar battle.
I was telling him, it’s not him. I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you. Don’t let yourself think that for a second. On some real s–t, I said, ‘They said you lost, OK. Well what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose, if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a mothaf**kin thing, man. If that’s the moment, you keep your creative energy in the right place, and keep creating. If you slow down because you feel, “What the f**k?” The resistance will make you feel like your material isn’t good. Then you gotta figure out how to keep pushing, how to keep creating — because that’s what it feels like to you at the moment. That s–t was good for hip-hop. It made both of them create quality material faster.
50 Cent also revealed via Billboard,
“Drake is in that position right now,” 50 said. “They trying to resist the music, because he put out some things that are dope. I say a lot of things on social and they get upset because they look and go, ‘Ahh, I’m automatically supposed to be on Kendrick’s side because of my association with Dre.’ And I love Kendrick, but I’ll say it to you—I didn’t see where what [Drake] did was wack at any point.”
In interviews, 50 Cent has spoken highly of Drake, recognizing him as a major figure in modern hip-hop. In 2014, 50 Cent referred to Drake as a “cool guy” and praised his work ethic and influence. He also commented on Drake’s ability to handle conflicts in the industry without being overly aggressive or confrontational, contrasting it with his own approach.
However, there hasn’t been a deep personal or professional relationship between the two, with no notable feuds or significant collaborations to speak of. Their interactions have mostly been based on mutual respect as artists who have made their marks in hip-hop.
