Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has had his fair share of disagreements with people. However, he was involved in one of his most notable beefs back in 2012 with grammy-winning artist Curtis “50 Cent”. This beef was one of the most bizarre and outlandish ones, as both Mayweather and 50 Cent frequently took shots at each other on social media and in interviews.
Moreover, the beef escalated to the point that even 8-time Mr. Olympia winner Ronnie Coleman stepped in to address it.

In 2012, Coleman posted a tweet stating that he was signing autographs at the Gold’s gym after traveling from Florida to Cali.

A fan then asked the bodybuilding legend if he had seen Mayweather and 50-cent’s beef on Twitter and whether he was still in Cali. He also claimed that he would be picking up his Chevrolet Camaro.

Surprisingly, Coleman responded to the fan and stated that although he did not see the beef, he wasn’t surprised by it. Moreover, he called Mayweather ‘stupid’ and wished that the fan’s car had good horsepower. “No I didn’t see it but I’m not surprised, Mayweather is stupid, hopefully you’ll have at least 400hp.” wrote Coleman

It seemed like the 8-time Mr. Olympia wasn’t a huge fan of ‘Money’ and his antics, which didn’t come as a surprise to him. After his historic bodybuilding career, Coleman’s life took a turn for the worst after he revealed that he was battling with a herniated disc, a spinal condition that can lead to severe pain and even paralysis. This led to him needing spine and hip surgeries, which might end up in him never walking again.
History of Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent’s beef
Mayweather and 50 Cent were unexpectedly good friends for a long time. However, their relationship would turn sour after Mayweather was released from prison back in 2012. The rapper claimed that Mayweather owed him money, but the former champ denied this, resulting in the start of their longstanding feud.
What followed was a bizarre set of events with Mayweather once claiming that 50 Cent had herpes. Moreover, 50 Cent once stated that Mayweather was illiterate and challenged him to read a page out of a Harry Potter book without stopping. The rapper even went as far as challenging ‘Money’ to a boxing match.

The relationship between the two seemed beyond repair at this point, however, 50 Cent recently revealed that the two have squashed their beef after years of taking shots at each other.
