To paraphrase the words of “Tomorrow 2” rapper Cardi B, once someone has beef with her, they are going to beef forever. This is a motto that 50 Cent lives by to this day. After visiting the Target Arena to celebrate his spirits company, Sire Spirits, closing a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, he couldn’t help but throw in a jab at his longtime rival, Ja Rule.

As the musician walked through the office, he joked with the Timberwolves staff mentioning his foe’s 2019 halftime performance for the team that didn’t garner much crowd participation.

“We had a curse! Somebody f*cked up, and they let Ja Rule perform at halftime,” 50 said before adding, “Now, what we’re gonna do is take the curse off!”

To add insult to injury, in the video uploaded to the rapper’s Instagram page, he took a few creative liberties to insert the clip of Ja’s performance onto one of the T-Wolves staff member’s computer screens including the audio of a joke former pro-athlete and Undisputed sports commentator Shannon Sharpe saying, “Skip, this might be worse than Fyre Festival.”

Once, again, 50 Cent proves that he’s not above taking jabs at anyone.

50 Cent has been doing big things with his Sire Spirits brand. Branson Cognac and Le Chemin Du Roi Champagne are under this umbrella, and overall, they are both fan favorites. In fact, Fif has been able to get these brands into arenas around the NBA. The Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers, and Houston Rockets all have Sire Spirits as options at their facilities. Subsequently, 50 has been trying to get his brand into all 30 NBA arenas. Recently, he came one step closer to accomplishing that as he signed a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Consequently, fans at the Target Center will be able to purchase Sire Spirits products. Moreover, the 200-level of the arena will even get a brand-new bar containing cocktails made with Fif’s various properties. Overall, this is a huge deal for the legendary artist, who continues to build an impressive empire. Additionally, it should be noted that there is a philanthropic angle to this deal. Through the G-Unity Foundation, 50 Cent and the Timberwolves organization will get to host basketball clinics for the youth.

50 Cent Continues To Build His Empire

“I had the opportunity to meet with the Timberwolves and knew they were the perfect partners for Sire Spirits,” 50 Cent said in a statement. “I am a big fan of the team, and I am excited to spend more time in Minnesota and get to know all the fans.” This sentiment was echoed by Timberwolves COO Ryan Tanke. “We are excited to launch this partnership with Sire Spirits and to introduce Wolves fans to Sire’s award-winning cognac and champagne,” Tanke said. It is clear that Fif will now be spending a lot more time in Minnesota over the coming months.

It will be interesting to see where else 50 Cent is able to bring his brands. The man is a master when it comes to marketing, and NBA teams love that. Moreover, players love him as someone they grew up listening to. That makes Sire Spirits a match made in heaven for a lot of franchises.

According to several confirmed reports, music, film and liquor mogul 50 Cent was successful in a lawsuit against a former employee and now it’s being reported that Fif is attempting to seize his former employee’s property to repay the debt.

Mitchell Green, ormer director of Brand Management for 50 Cent’s Sire Spirits, had his larcenous plot uncovered in 2020 after being threatened with extortion, but stole at least $2.2 million from his boss since 2018. Green was eventually fired from Sire before being sued.

The court ordered Green to pay $6,194,293 to Sire Spirits, including compensatory damages, pre-judgment interest, disgorged compensation and benefits, attorneys’ fees and costs, and arbitrator compensation. In June of last year, Green tried to get the award vacated, but was denied. Five months later the court tacked on another $89,305.50 in attorneys’ fees and costs to Sire Spirits.

If Green fails to pay the judgement, 50 can seize his bank accounts, personal property, and any assets in order to satisfy the debt.
