Fiddy blasts Diddy over Biggie
July 11th, 2010 | By
Finally, 50 Cent has associated himself with a cause we can believe in, lobbying Diddy to stop exploiting the memory of Notorious BIG. The perpetually beefing rapper has launched a petition asking Diddy to “let BIG rest in peace”.
Now that Fiddy’s feuds with the Game and Rick Ross have mostly wound down, the hip-hop star has decided to get Diddy or die tryin’. Speaking on Eminem’s radio station, Shade 45, 50 Cent didn’t pull any punches: “Puffy is a bitch … You know how an ugly bitch surrounds herself with pretty girls? Well, he is the pretty bitch with the other girls around him. He will suck the life out of everyone he is around.”
50 Cent claims Diddy is profiting from the memory of his late friend. “Enough is enough,” he declared in his Twitter petition, dubbed RIP BIG. “Biggie’s name should never have become Diddy’s Black Card … When was the last time Diddy really was biggin up his brother, not biggin up his bank?”
In the 13 years since Notorious BIG’s death, Diddy has certainly made a cottage industry out of euologising his late collaborator. Besides the Police-sampling tribute I’ll Be Missing You, a hit in 1997, Diddy’s Bad Boy Records has issued two posthumous Biggie albums, with you-know-who rapping on each. Diddy has a frequent habit of dropping references to Notorious BIG – or his weeping mother – into his own songs, and the savvy businessman sampled Biggie as recently as last year, on his Angels single. And we shouldn’t forget the Biggie biopic, Notorious, produced by … er, you get the picture.
But the track that finally sent 50 Cent over the edge is not even by Diddy. Instead, Ghost of Christopher Wallace is a single by rapper Jay Electronica, to which Diddy contributes a cameo. “This is just getting disrespectful,” 50 Cent said. “This [song] doesn’t really remind me of Biggie in any way, except for having the Puffy background-dancing and ad libs/intro that almost destroy a good song. Remember less than a month ago when [Diddy] said: ‘[That's] something I’m not going to talk about any more?’”
One day into the Fiddy v Diddy sweepstakes, the petition has gathered about 900 signatures.
