50 Cent Talks Avoiding Beef With T.I. [Video]
Earlier in the year, 50 Cent and T.I. had a short lived spat stemming from comments the G-Unit honcho made on Twitter. Tip didn’t take too kindly to Fif saying his wife Tiny should take a charge for him, and let his feeling be known in the Dec/Jan 2012 issue of Vibe Magazine.
However, before any real beef could commence, in the video below, 50 described to VIBE how the two MCs settled their differences.
“We got mutual friends and I was actually in conversation with one of them, and they was around him, so…” 50 explains of how he and T.I. managed to have a conversation. “I didn’t tell him to get [T.I.] on the phone and [T.I.] didn’t tell him to get me on the phone. They was just there and they was like, ‘Yo you need to talk to him because you don’t know where it’s coming from.’”
According to 50, their discussion manage to quell any fires before they could really start.
“We get into it and he had a lot of legitimate points,” says 50. “When you going through something, the press will ask you questions about things; they’ll ask other artist that are relevant to the culture things about artists that are going through something and your response impacts harder than it will at any other point. The people that want the fight, they’ll start to champion that.”
Although any real conflict was avoided, 50 made sure to note that he didn’t fold under any sort of pressure when he says, “When you know me to back down.”
