If you know 50 Cent, chances are you know he has a reputation for being a bully. His online presence and in-person demeanor are both intimidating, but itโ€™s the former that causes the most trouble. But to have 50 Cent tell it, heโ€™s not a bully! Itโ€™s learned and mirrored behavior from the people who bully him. The nerve, right?!

Hip-hop-history lesson time! Remember when 50 Cent basically ruined Ja Ruleโ€™s music career? This beef was in the late โ€™90s and early 2000s. According to reports, a friend of 50 Cent robbed Ja Rule of a chain and 50 Cent started putting out diss tracks. From there, Ja Rule pulled up at 50โ€™s studio ready to fight. And fight they did. Itโ€™s been said that while Ja won this fight, he lost the war and 50 Cent buried his career.

Fast-forward to today, and we see that Ja Rule is attempting to reignite his beef with 50 Cent by tweeting him some very interesting things about being a โ€œticklebooty.โ€ Look it up because I ainโ€™t got that type of time to explain what Ja Rule is talking about. But just know heโ€™s not done beefing with 50.

In a sit-down interview with 50 Cent for his new movie, Den of Thieves, I asked him if he knew that the world sees him as a bully. He responded in his typical sarcastic and sincere 50 Cent way and said, โ€œI have habits that Iโ€™ve picked up from being bullied.โ€ Check out the video above to see just why 50 Cent believes heโ€™s not a bully.
