Will this feud between frenemies 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather ever end? Never, if it’s left up to 50 Cent. After publicly humiliating Mayweather by calling him illiterate a few days ago, the “In Da Club” rapper has yet another trick up his sleeve.
In a video posted on his Instagram page @50cent, 50 Cent states that he challenges Mayweather to read an entire page of a Harry Potter book, with no screw-ups – in exchange for a $750,000 donation to whatever charity organization the boxer chooses. 50 Cent also stated, “F*** the bucket of ice, man.” Sorry folks, 50 Cent has no plans of participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge. How disappointing…
Mayweather has remained mostly silent regarding the matter, despite consistently being a target by social media. However, in a recent press conference to promote his upcoming fight against Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas, Mayweather stated, “Will God not let me in heaven because I didn’t read like a news anchor? Look, I would be perfect at reading if it was how I made my living and fed my family.” Hmm, we’re all STILL pretty curious if Mayweather can actually read or not.
It wouldn’t be Mayweather if he didn’t take a few shots at 50 Cent stating “I don’t know if he’s still making music. The last time I checked, he was a boxing promoter but I still wish him nothing but the best.”
The boxer also revealed his company has happily donated to various charities many times without recognition, and suggested that 50 Cent donate his $750,000 to the family of Michael Brown.
Michael Brown was an unarmed African American teen from St. Louis, Missouri who was shot and killed on August 9, 2014 by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
The shooting is under investigation by a county grand jury.
