This Rap Beef Has Lasted Almost 20 Years And It's Still Going

It's almost 2026, and Rick Ross and 50 Cent are still at it. This time it's over album sales — 50 Cent mocked the early numbers on Ross's new album "Set In Stone," and Ross fired back hard, calling it fake, bot-driven propaganda. In this video, we go all the way back to where this rivalry started, how it evolved from real tension into hip-hop's longest-running bit, and break down exactly what's happening in the latest round. Drop your take in the comments: did Ross's comeback shut it down, or does 50 Cent's jab always land? And let me know who you think has actually won this rivalry over the last two decades.
