50 Cent has once again embraced his reputation as the King of Trolls with the release of a new Super Bowl commercial, where he humorously takes shots at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and other celebrities.
The rapper’s latest venture, a DoorDash Beef 101 commercial, has caught widespread attention following its debut on February 6.
“It’s come to my attention that everyone’s calling me a troll. Some even said the ‘King of Trolls’. First of all, I’m flattered. But I’m done with all that,” 50 Cent states at the beginning of the ad.
The commercial, which has now garnered over 100,000 views, showcases 50 Cent, also known as Curtis Jackson III, unveiling his collaboration with DoorDash. He humorously starts by saying he’d never team up with the food delivery service that delivers ‘beef,’ playing on his ongoing disputes with Diddy.
He quips to the camera: “I mean, who would do something like that?”
The screen quickly transitions to reveal a message: “50 Cent would.”
The rapper then appears holding an orange DoorDash bag filled with various items, which fans believe are symbolic jabs at Diddy, Ja Rule, and Floyd Mayweather.
Items such as a bag of Cheese Puffs, a comb, a bottle of Branson Cognac from 50 Cent’s own company, a children’s book titled Learning Your ABC, and a ticking clock are featured.
Commenters were quick to notice the significance of these items, suggesting that the cheese puffs may allude to Diddy’s nicknames Puff Daddy and Puff, the comb connects to Sean ‘Combs,’ and the cognac references the duration of Diddy’s prison sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix, New Jersey for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
In a nod to his past rivalry with Floyd Mayweather, 50 Cent also showcases the ABC book, likely a jab at Mayweather’s rumored reading difficulties, and references a $750,000 charity challenge to read a chapter from a Harry Potter book or The Cat in the Hat.
Their feud is believed to have originated from a failed business venture in 2012.
“It’s all about timing, and I’m always on time,” 50 Cent comments as he reveals a clock, potentially alluding to Ja Rule’s hit song ‘Always on Time’ with Ashanti.
The longstanding animosity between 50 Cent and Ja Rule, dating back to 1999, includes several verbal and physical altercations.
When brandishing the combs, he sarcastically comments: “Oh. They sell combs. What a coincidence.”
Concluding the ad, 50 Cent addresses the audience: “No matter what kind of beef you have going on this weekend, remember DoorDash delivers. And you know what goes great with beef? A bottle of this beautiful Branson Cognac. Aged 4 years. Or 50 months. Who’s keeping count?”
The commercial wraps up with a message on screen: “50 Cent is.”
This likely references Diddy’s four-year sentence, equivalent to 50 months.
