50 Cent and Big Meech Clash Over Parenting and Business Rivalry

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Tensions continue to rise between rapper 50 Cent and Black Mafia Family founder Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, escalating into a public feud that involves family dynamics and past financial arrangements.

On February 11, 2025, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, took to social media to criticize Big Meech’s parenting after a clip surfaced featuring Lil Meech, Big Meech’s son, attending a prom with Rick Ross’ daughter Toie Roberts. The Instagram post featured historical footage of their previous relationship, drawing 50 Cent’s ire.

“Why old boy didn’t look out for Me Me and BIG SCREECH? All your people that was out did nothing for him,” 50 Cent posted. He highlighted his role in supporting Lil Meech’s ambitions, specifically funding his acting school education.

50 Cent claimed to have helped the Flenory family generate and manage over $5 million through the success of the BMF series, a dramatization of Big Meech’s drug empire that airs on STARZ. He expressed frustration that the family has squandered this wealth. “I helped your family make over 5 million legit dollars; it’s not my fault it’s all gone,” he stated. He further accused Big Meech of wearing his son’s jewelry in recent appearances, jabbing, “Bitch give the baby back his jewelry!”

The conflict overshadowed the anticipated fourth season of BMF, which was expected to premiere in the spring of 2025. Reports indicate that the upcoming season might be its last after whispers of cancellation surrounded its production.

In the backdrop of this public exchange, Rick Ross has entered the fray. He criticized 50 Cent’s BMF series, suggesting that it lacks depth and calling for a more substantial cinematic representation by proposing a film project of his own. “I wanna do a BMF film because you’ve been entertained by a lackluster, small-budget series,” Ross proclaimed. He expressed his intention to revisit the story on a grander scale, possibly enlisting acclaimed directors such as Antoine Fuqua or Quentin Tarantino.

Adding to the complexity, Big Meech recently defended himself against allegations made by 50 Cent, claiming he has not cooperated with law enforcement and characterizing 50 Cent’s statements as attempts to draw him into conflict. “I never folded, never told — never will. Death before dishonor, always,” he asserted in a message aimed at addressing the controversy stirred by 50 Cent.

The ongoing tension between Ross and 50 Cent was further punctuated by Ross’ mockery of 50’s reactions to Big Meech’s collaborations, suggesting that 50’s responses highlight emotional weaknesses. Ross exclaims, “He took a picture with Rick Ross! You like a hoe, nigga! Put your back against the wall and just slide down.”

This feud, embroiled in themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the legacy of the BMF saga, raises questions about the future of both the ongoing series and the relationships among the key players involved.
