Hip-Hop mogul 50 Cent mocked the reported commercial performance of rapper Rick Ross’ new album, Set In Stone, with a pointed Instagram post that quickly ignited debate across social media.

On Tuesday, July 21, the G-Unit mogul shared a photo of himself grinning before taking aim at Ross’ reported first-week numbers.

“I just saw your record sales! LOL 2,000 WTF,” 50 Cent wrote.

The jab arrived after reports claimed Set In Stone generated about 1.38 million Spotify streams during its first day of release. Using standard streaming conversion estimates, that figure equates to roughly 1,220 album units from Spotify streams alone.

Official first-week totals, however, combine streaming activity with digital and physical album sales. Rick Ross and his label had not publicly confirmed the album’s opening-week figures.

Many fans viewed 50’s post as retaliation after Ross and comedian Deon Cole recently joked about the rapper’s former girlfriend and the mother of his son, Sire, during a promotional interview for Set In Stone.

The comment section quickly became another battleground.

Hip-hop outlet Diverse Mentality joked, “Tory Lanez who is locked up released an album too and did better than Ross .”

Another user, @bagluck_, added, “1220 in the first week is tuff, I did better than that .”

Instagram user @tar.zan_ piled on, writing, “Someone said he Took the biggest loss that i seen thus far. .”

Others linked the latest exchange to the pair’s decades-long feud. User @hhf_2050 commented, “He still mad about you bringin’ his kids to Floyd’s crib .”

Still, not everyone agreed with the criticism. User @deeboi_130 defended the project, writing, “That album is fire I ain’t going to hold you album is fire I don’t care what he sold in the first week the album is fire.”

Whether the jokes centered on streaming numbers or old grudges, the exchange proved one thing: 50 Cent and Rick Ross remain as competitive as ever. More than 15 years after their feud began, every album release, interview and Instagram post still gives each side another chance to trade shots in one of hip-hop’s most enduring rivalries.
