50 Cent News February 2026: Netflix Film, Jim Jones Beef, Floyd Mayweather Shots & More
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson has had one of his busiest news weeks of early 2026 — landing a major Netflix film role, trolling Jim Jones out of a studio, reigniting beef with Floyd Mayweather, and keeping his decades-long Ja Rule rivalry simmering. Here is everything happening with 50 Cent right now.
50 Cent Joins Netflix Comedy With Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria
The biggest career news for 50 Cent this week is a new Hollywood role. 50 Cent has scored a major role alongside Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, Nikki Glaser, and Brenda Song in a Netflix comedy currently titled The Fifth Wheel. The project is currently in production, and sources say the cast was filming inside a popular nightlife spot. The nature of his specific role has not been disclosed.
This will not be his first project with Netflix — his four-part docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, for which he served as executive producer, drew major numbers on the streamer.
50 Cent Trolls Jim Jones Over Studio Lockout
50 Cent posted video footage of rapper Jim Jones allegedly attempting to break down the door of his "Let's Rap About It" podcast studio location, claiming Jones was evicted from the space. He wrote: "Damn bro this wouldn't happen if we was friends, wanna be friends? I don't know let's rap about it! LOL."
50 Cent also claimed to have spoken directly with the property owner, who allegedly stated that unpaid rent ranged between $80,000 and $180,000. He followed up: "Sam is my partner. I own the joint. Now you're gonna fix every door you kick or I'm gonna kick ya ass Jimmy." Jim Jones has not issued an official statement confirming or denying the claims.
50 Cent Takes Aim at Floyd Mayweather
The long-running feud between 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather Jr. resurfaced after the boxing legend signaled another return to competition, reportedly preparing for an exhibition bout and signing an exclusive deal with CSI Sports and Fight Sports. 50 Cent shared — then quickly deleted — a pointed message reading: "Broke gotta box till ya drop champ, ain't nobody gonna watch that s**t LOL."
Since their falling-out, 50 Cent has consistently mocked the boxing champion's finances and literacy in interviews and online posts. Mayweather rarely responds directly, instead keeping his focus on business ventures and ring appearances.
Ja Rule Feud: Still Cold, Never Dead
More than 20 years after their feud defined a chapter of hip-hop history, Ja Rule told TMZ he has accepted that reconciliation with 50 Cent is unlikely. "Sometimes in life, people have enemies, and that's okay. There's room for us to be not friends and also not be at war. That's where I'm at with it right now."
Around the same time, 50 Cent shared a pointed message online that many read as directed at Ja Rule: "Good morning — let your enemies become motivation. Make them watch your success till they snap. Then get the F**k out the way before they crash out. LOL."
Faizon Love Calls for Charity Boxing Match
Comedian Faizon Love publicly challenged 50 Cent to a charity boxing match, telling him: "Curtis Jackson, this has been cute and fun, but these memes is corny now. Have you ever been in a fight? That would be interesting to really pull up in a ring and get it in." 50 Cent responded not with a formal reply but with an edited scene from the 1991 film New Jack City, inserting Love into a compromising moment while portraying himself as Nino Brown. No promoters have stepped forward and no fight agreement has been reached.
