“He asked to take me shopping. I thought that was the weirdest sh*t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman,” the G-Unit leader told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview. “And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f**king with this weird energy or weird sh*t,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”

The “In Da Club” rapper had previously worked with the former REVOLT chairman on tracks like “Victory 2004” and the remix to “I Get Money.” Despite the possibility of people thinking they had a friendship beyond the music, Fif clarified that their relationship was all business. “It was mostly work,” he said. “I wouldn’t call it a friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other.”

50 Cent revealed that Jennifer Lopez suggested that Diddy work with the Power executive producer for his songwriter abilities, but he wasn’t interested. “I remember Diddy would call, and my son’s mom would answer, and I didn’t want to get on the phone,” he said. “Like, ‘No, no, no.’ And she was like, ‘What the f**k? We need money.’ She’s looking at me, like, ‘What? Why don’t you want to talk to him?'”

50 was also privy to the fact that the “I Need A Girl” artist mistreated producers and claimed credit for things he did not actually do, which encouraged him to keep his distance. “Puff is a businessperson; when [people call him] a producer, I see people that were taken advantage of, who produced things that he took from them,” he said. “He got the credit. He’s not a producer. He’s been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it. I don’t have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn’t take to hanging out with that.”

Their relationship has been more adversarial of late, with 50 Cent being a constant commentator as more and more news came out about the Making The Band actor’s harmful treatment of women. Though the stories have been traumatic, Hip-Hop’s favorite villain consistently made jokes about his former collaborator and simultaneously raised awareness. He even went as far as to make a docuseries, Diddy Do It? , which was sold to Netflix.
