50 Cent is continuing his public campaign of mockery against Floyd Mayweather Jr., seizing on the latest reports that the boxing legend has been hit with a significant $4.65 million lawsuit. This marks the second time this week that the rapper has publicly targeted his former friend.
According to legal documents obtained by XXL on Thursday, June 18, a producer for two of Mayweather’s upcoming bouts has filed a federal lawsuit. The plaintiff alleges that the boxer breached an exclusive contract by agreeing to a fight against Mike Zambidis in Greece. The suit claims that Mayweather was already contractually obligated to participate in planned fights with Mike Tyson and Manny Pacquiao. The legal action seeks $6.65 million in total damages—comprised of $4.65 million from Mayweather and $2 million from his booking agent—along with an emergency injunction to halt the Greece-based fight.
Never one to miss an opportunity for a jab, 50 Cent shared a screenshot of the headline on Instagram, offering a sarcastic display of support. “Champ I’m here if you need help,” he wrote. “I saw I missed your call I was in Shreveport working hit me.”
This latest social media post follows a series of public call-outs from the rapper, who recently criticized Mayweather after the boxer was hit with two felony charges for allegedly passing a bad check. Prosecutors in Nevada allege that Mayweather issued a $200,000 check for a luxury watch in late 2024 despite having insufficient funds. His legal team has yet to issue a public response to these allegations.
Beyond the recent felony charges and the new breach-of-contract lawsuit, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is currently navigating a complex web of legal challenges. These include various civil lawsuits across four states related to unpaid bills for goods and services, as well as a $7.2 million IRS tax lien for allegedly unpaid taxes.
As the legal pressure mounts, it appears 50 Cent has no intention of easing up on his relentless trolling of the boxing icon.
