50 Cent sat down for the latest episode of the Flagrant podcast, where he opined on several controversial topics, including the ongoing beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

Speaking with a slew of media personalities, including comedian Andrew Schulz, he said that the beef between the two rivals was healthy. He claimed that if Drake were to take a hiatus from making music, Kendrick Lamar would have to shoulder the weight of the culture himself. In a clip circulating on X, he is heard saying:

"They'll feel it," he says, if someone were to take a break. "They're gonna miss it."

In the clip circulating on X, 50 Cent gives the example of the two artists dominating the industry. If one were to say, "I'm gone," he says, the world would "look at Kendrick" to keep the industry alive, noting that it would burden him. As for what he thinks about Drake taking a break, 50 Cent pointed out that he was "rich as a m***********"

50 Cent joined Andrew Schulz and Aakash Singh, who co-hosted the show. During the episode, he also picked a bone with Schulz about the latter's inappropriate comments about K.dot. As soon as the episode kicked off, the veteran rapper asked the comedian:

"I'm a fan [of your work], but I don't understand what got into you that made you say you was going to f*** Kendrick?" he said.

"Whoa, whoa, I said make sweet love," Schulz retorted, prompting the rapper to look into the camera and say:

"I apologize guys. This is from years and years of trauma, this comes from abuse from the neighbourhood I grew up in. This comes from a lot of different things. 'Make sweet love,' I heard 'f***' when you said it. I don't know why I registered it that way. And look, for people to write petitions behind it is crazy."

He continued, noting that he's a huge fan of comedians as they're basically "invincible" to the critics:

"When I watch them, I look and I go, 'There's no point that you could do something that actually damages what they developed,'" he said. "Katt Williams can fight a 15-year-old kid that is his height and not do so well, right? But he's still Katt Williams! It does no damage to Katt Williams, he's still that guy."

On a previous episode of Flagrant, Schulz spoke about a hypothetical situation with Kendrick Lamar involving a prison cell.

"I would make love to him and there's nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar, I would make love to him. And the only thing that he could do is decide if it's consensual or not. ... I would go so far as to say he couldn't stop most people on the planet from having s** with him. ... He's talking a lot of sh**, but if it came down to it I could put him on my lap, I could feed him a bottle."

As for whom 50 Cent is siding with, per Billboard, the veteran rapper has made it clear he's with Drake on this one. On December 9th, he doubled down on his stance when he made a pit stop at Big Boy’s Neighborhood and pulled up a list of Drake's rivals. He noted that they were "All over the page because they keep watching him win."
