Late last week, 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather ended their long-running beef by posing for a photo for 50's Instagram. It marked the end of a beef that started a few years back when 50 and Floyd…
Actually, now that we're thinking about it, why did 50 and Floyd start beefing in the first place? MTV asked 50 that question a short time after their reunion and discovered that it was basically because Floyd is surrounded by yes men who don't want to ruffle any feathers. So when 50 criticized Floyd on several occasions, the boxing champion didn't respond well to it.
"My younger brother happens to be the best fighter in the world," 50 told MTV. "He can make $200 million in 36 minutes. How do you tell him what to do? You don't. Sometimes, he's not right. You'll tell him, 'You're not right.' And then, you have that argument until he starts to look at it and say, 'He was right.'"
50 doesn't really get any more specific than that. But it's still interesting to hear him talk briefly about the way that Floyd interacts with those around him. And now that we think about it this way, it's not hard to see why Floyd would be quick to get angry with someone like 50. Only question is: Is it eventually going to happen again?
Watch the clip above to hear 50 talk about his beef with Mayweather as well as Mayweather's friendship with Justin Bieber.
