Big Meech’s Florida concert was scheduled to feature a long lineup of rappers, but it got canceled due to undisclosed reasons. However, many internet users did point out 50 Cent’s beef with Big Meech as a potential reason after the latter’s Florida show got called off.

“Seeing this makes me think Ross is Brave for continuing to beef with fif I would have folded by now,” a user proclaimed, highlighting 50 Cent’s feud with Flenory and Rick Ross.

“That @50cent energy is crazy strong 😭😭,” another user mentioned the Queens rapper.

“😂 50 Cent is one person I’d never want problems with,” someone added.

“Something tells me 50 behind it😭😭”

Another user referenced 50 Cent’s famous incident when he reportedly bought tickets to Ja Rule’s concert amid their beef. They posted,

“50 Cent Bought All The Tickets😂😂😂”

Someone joked,

“I can hear 50 laughing like the green goblin mask.”

After the news of the Welcome Back concert’s cancellation broke out, 50 Cent also reacted. He posted the picture on his Instagram account and denied being related to the incident in the caption:

“😟 I had nothing to with this, please stop calling my phone🤷I sincerely hope you have a nice day today, Happy Valentine’s Day. I’m stronger then you think I am 😏."

He also shared a screenshot of a text relaying someone else’s message that called him a “bad man homie, that n**** got the rats jumping the ship left and right now.” For the unversed, 50 Cent has been beefing with his former friend Big Meech after the latter linked up with Rick Ross for his Welcome Back concert.

Rick Ross and 50 Cent share a long-standing animosity and have gone up against each other through diss tracks on different occasions.
