On Sunday, the co-creator of Power took to his Instagram page to share a screenshot of an XXL headline discussing N.O.R.E.’s revelation on a Drink Champs episode with Snoop Dogg. According to N.O.R.E., Jay-Z, the NFL’s Live Music Entertainment Strategist, informed him that Eminem wouldn’t perform at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show without 50 Cent.

 

50 Cent responded with speculation, questioning why Jay-Z needed to make such a statement. He suggested that Jay-Z might not have allowed 50 Cent to perform at the Super Bowl before Eminem forced the issue. In a playful jab, 50 Cent also commented on Jay-Z’s appearance, humorously accusing him of trying to look with an accompanying palette emoji and painter emoji.

 

The criticism continued as 50 Cent called out Jay-Z for referring to Eminem as “the White guy.” He posted a collage featuring the late painter Jean-Michel Basquiat and an image of Jay-Z imitating Basquiat’s look for Halloween in 2014.

 

“Why did he say the white boy, why he didn’t say the biggest rap artist in the world? Happy Easter! Man enjoy the holidays,” 50 Cent wrote, adding a laughing emoji.

The entire controversy originated from N.O.R.E.’s revelation on Drink Champs, where he shared that Jay-Z informed him about Eminem requesting 50 Cent to join the Super Bowl LVI halftime show lineup. In the end, Dr. Dre brought out Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar for a phenomenal Super Bowl performance.

 

During the podcast, Snoop Dogg expressed his understanding, emphasizing the loyalty between Eminem and 50 Cent. The podcast team applauded Eminem and Snoop Dogg for their commitment to 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, respectively.
