50 Cent has responded to Hurricane Chris in typically comedic fashion after the “A Bay Bay” rapper argued that he’s a better rapper than him.
Chris made the bold claim in an interview with VladTV while discussing their recent back and forth, saying: “He [responded] knowing damn well he can’t out-rap me.”
He added: “I will slaughter his ass with any type of musical shit that you can even think of. You know he can’t out-rap me. Anybody knows that … [He] cannot out-rap me, [he] do not make better music than me right now.
“He don’t make better songs than me. If 50 made a song right now and I made a song right now, I’ma smash that. Go listen to me and Boosie‘s song ‘Murder’ we just dropped. 50 can’t make that.”
The Louisaiana native’s remarks made their way onto 50’s radar on Tuesday (September 10), although the G-Unit boss fired back by zeroing in on a separate segment from his interview.
He posted a clip of Hurricane Chris saying: “Louisiana got the fourth worst edunacational system in America. Fourth worst out of all 50 states” and captioned it: “[raised eyebrow emoji] this is what happens when the edunacational system fails you [shrug emoji] IN THE 50 states of America. LOL.”
Chris didn’t take kindly to 50 Cent’s sneering post and struck back in the comments section: “I corrected it yu looping the video with them good editors.”
He also admitted that he “was talking too damn fast” during the interview.
The Shreveport rapper continued to respond on his own Instagram page, posting an old video in which 50 praises 6ix9ine and Soulja Boy by saying: “6ix9ine’s not from the street. I liked him because… like I liked Soulja Boy — when he came, I looked and I was like, ‘He’s 16 years old,’” before the clip cuts off.
He further taunted Fif in the caption, writing: “[lollipop emojis] I write 16s u like 16s [crying face emojis].”
Chris also said in a follow-up post: “A fake person will always try their best to make light of a real situation Louisiana has a very challenged educational system and I want to bring awareness and help our youth some people actual think it’s a joke but true colors will show.”
The pair began feuding last month when Hurricane Chris took issue with 50 Cent hosting his Humor & Harmony Weekend in his hometown of Shreveport.
In a heated video posted online, Chris put the Power mogul on blast for allegedly not booking any artists from Louisiana to perform at his inaugural music and comedy festival.
He also accused 50 of spending $500,000 to hire local police officers as security for the festival, saying: “That fucking money could have went to anything to help the muthafucking youth. We don’t need more money invested into the police, n-gga.”
50 was quick to respond, posting numerous movie clips mocking Hurricane Chris’ rap career. “Hurricane Flex boy ya shit is wack, the fuck you think you @FredoBang [raised eyebrow emoji] ya shit gets no play in my ride. LOL,” he wrote in one.

Chris later elaborated on his grievances, pointing to comments made by the Queens, New York native about wanting to eradicate Shreveport’s “ratchet” reputation.
“If you know anything about the Shreveport history, you know we call ourselves the Ratchet City. And when a person says that, they don’t mean that this is a dirty, nasty place,” the 51/50 Ratchet rapper explained in an interview with KSLA 12.
“We have an artist, late and great, that died by the name of Ratchet Life and he had the city in his hands. So it was a great disrespect for you to come into this city and say, ‘We’re getting the ratchet out of the city.’”
He also invited 50 Cent to meet in person to iron out what he called a “misunderstanding”: “I just want to sit down with 50 and hopefully have a conversation to let him know that the word that he was downplaying is more than just a word. It’s actually our culture and something we have grown to be proud of.”
