Gene Deal Reveals The Real Reason Why 50 Cent Hates Diddy: Puffy Was Robbing Him

“You know, I kind of wanted to touch on some old-school stuff that I’ve seen you talk about before,” one man says to Gene Deal.

“Go ahead, bro,” Gene responds.

“I had heard that you kind of knew 50 Cent before he blew up.”

“Yeah, I did. 50 was the type of dude that always kept a little notepad with him. He wrote everything down, you know? We were headed to Vegas, and I gave him my business card—it was for Sawi Fair Security Management. So, later, 50 did a song where he mentioned that. About a year ago, he even said that when he dropped my name, he got the ‘cair’ from me. He said, ‘Big Gene has been trying to tell y’all about this Puff stuff for years.’

50 was loyal. If he was with you, he was really with you, no questions asked, even back then. If you had his back, whether as security or something else, he had yours. You didn’t have to worry about his loyalty, especially in tough situations.”

“I guess you were hanging around him or knew him before he got shot?”

“What happened was, I got some information, and 50 came to my house. I tried to fit him with a vest, but at the time, I was like a 3X, and 50 was more of a large. So, the vest didn’t really fit, but I gave him a cover and told him to be careful because there were people coming after him. He was supposed to go to Cancun, and I told him if he came, I had his back. I used to work security at Daddyo’s down there, and I had connections from Puerto Rico who worked directly with the Syndicate. If 50 came to the island, I could get anything we needed. He was supposed to come down to perform ‘How to Rob an Industry,’ but they shot him before he could make it. I don’t know if he was ever really coming, but he had been paid half the money for the show.”

“When was the next time you saw him after that?”

“The next time I saw 50 was at Jack the Rapper after he blew up. He was doing really well. We were in Puerto Rico, and I was sitting by myself. 50 came over with his entourage, walked straight to me, and said, ‘Yo, Gene.’ I said, ‘What’s up, 50?’ We shook hands, and he told me, ‘They can’t stop what God has planned.’ Then he went on his way and blew up even more.”

“How do you feel about 50 going so hard at Diddy with the documentaries and everything?”

“Man, what did Diddy do to 50 to make him hate him so much?”

“Well, back in the day, 50 was writing a lot of stuff that made Diddy a lot of money. At the time, 50 didn’t know what he knows now, but Diddy was robbing him. He’d bring these young guys in, say, ‘Write this verse for me,’ and give them $5,000 or $10,000, while making $100,000, $200,000, or even millions off of it. Some people call that good business, but it’s not. It’s taking advantage of someone’s talent for your own gain, without giving them what they’re worth. Diddy could’ve been teaching and helping these young guys instead of just using them.

So, if 50 feels that way, he has every right. But 50’s doing this for the culture. If the story’s going to be told, he’s going to make sure it’s told the right way.”

“Yeah, man, 50 really goes hard on Diddy. He’s constantly going at him on Instagram. It’s pretty entertaining to see him so passionate about his hate for Diddy.”

“Listen, how many of your enemies do you love?”

“None.”

“Exactly.”
