Hip-hop mogul 50 Cent has once again sparked controversy with his response to the reported death of Irv Gotti. The G-Unit founder took to social media with a post that left many fans stunned, writing, “Smoking on Dat Gotti Pack”—a slang phrase often used in rap culture to mock deceased rivals.
The tension between 50 Cent and Irv Gotti dates back decades, stemming from their deep-rooted conflict involving Murder Inc., the record label co-founded by Gotti.
The rivalry began in the early 2000s when Murder Inc. and 50 Cent’s G-Unit were locked in a heated battle that went beyond diss tracks and entered the realm of real-life altercations. The animosity between them remained unresolved over the years, with both sides taking shots at each other whenever the opportunity arose.
Following the news of Irv Gotti’s reported passing, 50 Cent wasted no time posting on Instagram. His message, “Smoking on Dat Gotti Pack,” immediately drew backlash, as it is a disrespectful phrase commonly used to celebrate the death of an enemy. Many fans and industry insiders condemned 50 Cent’s insensitivity, arguing that regardless of their past issues, some respect should be shown in death.
However, others weren’t surprised. The “In Da Club” rapper is known for his unapologetic and often ruthless approach to his enemies. In the past, he has publicly ridiculed several former rivals, including Ja Rule, Rick Ross, and The Game, making it clear that he rarely lets go of a grudge.
The post quickly went viral, with fans and fellow artists reacting in different ways. Some supporters of 50 Cent laughed at the comment, seeing it as a continuation of his no-holds-barred persona, while others called it distasteful.
“I get that they had beef, but this is low—even for 50,” one fan commented on Twitter. “Death is something you don’t joke about, no matter how much you hated someone.”
On the other hand, some defended 50 Cent’s reaction, arguing that rap culture has always included harsh and unfiltered responses to rivalries. “This is hip-hop. Y’all acting brand new. 50 never gonna be fake about his feelings,” another user posted.
Despite the backlash, 50 Cent has remained silent on the criticism, refusing to delete or clarify his post. The decades-long feud between him and Irv Gotti is one of the most infamous in hip-hop history, and this latest development only adds to its intensity—even in death.
While it remains unclear whether 50 Cent will address the controversy further, one thing is certain: he has no intention of burying old grudges, even as the hip-hop community mourns the loss of one of its major figures.
As of now, representatives from both 50 Cent’s and Irv Gotti’s camps have not released official statements regarding the situation.
