50 Cent doesn’t often use his social media platforms to share inspirational messages with those he’s not a fan of, but it looks like he might be making an exception for Dame Dash.
On Friday (May 23), the G-Unit boss took to Instagram to share a screenshot of an article from The Source that read: “Dame Dash Ordered to Sell Film Studio and Streaming Network Over Unpaid Debts.”
Appearing to sympathize with the Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, Fif encouraged Dame to “bounce back” and that this setback is just “a little stress but no depression.”
“A little set back is just a lesson, you get a little arrogant you lose blessings, but when you know how to Win you win,” he wrote. “So quit fucking around and Win again. Chin Up!”
While 50’s message seemed rather uplifting, it’s unclear whether he’s trolling or not, given his past remarks on Dame’s situation.
In November last year, 50 Cent hopped on IG to say he thought it was funny Dame was having financial issues because he followed his “dreams.”
“Somebody asked me how I got so broke,” Dame said in a clip shared by 50, “Investing in my dreams.” The clip then cuts to the theme tune for the ’70s sitcom Good Times. “No lies detected what ever you do don’t go out like Dame! LOL,” 50 wrote in the caption.
According to AllHipHop, a federal judge in New York has ordered Dame to sell assets associated with The Dash Group in order to settle a 2019 copyright lawsuit. That year, author and filmmaker Edwyna Brooks sued Dash and won a $78,289 judgement in 2020, which he is yet to pay according to reports.
After multiple failed attempts to collect, Brooks pushed the court to force the liquidation of his remaining assets and a judge ordered Dame’s wife Raquel Horn to pay up out of her share in The Dash Group.
