Il n'hésite pas à les provoquer et à les critiquer dans ses morceaux comme dans « Piggy Bank », de l'album ''[[The Massacre]]'' (2005).

-Depuis début 2005, 50 Cent est en conflit avec le rappeur [[The Game (rappeur)|The Game]] de Compton ([[Los Angeles]]), protégé de [[Dr. Dre]] pourtant. La situation est compliquée, puisqu'il s'agit d'un des rares cas où deux artistes d'un même label sont en conflit ouvert. Les deux hommes ont pourtant collaboré dans le passé et ils ont même vendu bon nombre de leurs singles « How We Do » et « Hate It Or Love It ».
+An [[affidavit]] by an [[IRS]] agent suggested that the label had ties to [[Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff]], a New York [[drug lord]] who was suspected of being involved in the murder of [[Jam Master Jay]] and the shooting of 50 Cent. An excerpt of the affidavit read:
-The Game a nié à la radio le fait que 50 Cent ait contribué au succès de son album ''[[The Documentary]]'' (2005) alors que, dixit ''Fifty'', ce serait grâce à lui que son album se serait vendu, propos qu'il a tenu dans une interview post-rupture.
-Mais selon The Game, le fait est que 50 cent s'attribuait déjà le succès avant leur dispute. Par ailleurs, 50  cent aurait demandé la collaboration de son acolyte pour une chanson agressive envers [[Nas (rappeur)|Nas]]. Ce dernier refusa, expliquant que le rappeur de N.Y.C. était une légende, un génie en matière de rap et qu'il avait du respect pour cet artiste. Vexé, 50 Cent commença à le dénigrer et le californien claqua la porte du groupe.
-De plus, The Game avait affirmé n'avoir rien contre les rappeurs que 50 Cent attaquait alors qu'il chantait encore avec [[G-Unit]], et qu'il serait même prêt à collaborer avec ceux-ci de temps en temps, ce que 50 Cent a pris comme un défaut de loyauté envers lui.
-Les deux hommes n'ont toujours pas enterré la hache de guerre.
-Malgré cela, pour réussir, 50 Cent peut encore compter sur bon nombre de producteurs comme [[Dr. Dre]], [[Cool & Dre]], [[Scott Storch]], [[Eminem]], et [[Havoc]], avec qui il entretient de bonnes relations. Le rappeur du Queens a également bon nombre d'amis dans le rap puisque ces deux dernières années, il n'a cessé de signer des talents du genre sur son label [[G-Unit Records]], qui a en peu de temps pris une grande envergure. Ainsi, 50 Cent a déjà signé et collaboré avec [[Mobb Deep]], [[MOP (groupe)|M.O.P.]], [[Ma$e]], Spider Loc, Lil Scrappy (G'sup), [[Lil Jon]], la chanteuse R&B [[Olivia]], etc. Enfin 50 Cent entretient toujours de bonnes, voir de très bonnes relations avec [[Lloyd Banks]], [[Tony Yayo]] et [[Young Buck]] (les 3 membres initiaux de [[G-Unit]]), ainsi qu'avec [[Missy Elliott]] et [[Jay-Z]], qu'il respecte à nouveau.
-Dernièrement, il a fait signer [[Spider Loc]] et [[Young Hot Rod]] dans son label.
-En septembre 2007 il sort l'album [[Curtis (50 Cent)|Curtis]] avec un coup médiatique risqué :
+{{quote|The investigation has uncovered a conspiracy involving McGriff and others to murder a rap artist who has released songs containing lyrics regarding McGriff's criminal activities. The rap artist was shot in 2000, survived and thereafter refused to cooperate with law enforcement regarding the shooting. Messages transmitted over the Murder Inc. pager indicate that McGriff is involved in an ongoing plot to kill this rap artist, and that he communicates with Murder Inc. employees concerning the target.<ref name=TSG/>}}
-après avoir proposé à [[Kanye West]] d'assister tous les deux à une émission télévisé afin de défendre respectivement leur album et se voyant décliner l'offre, 50 Cent déclara que si ce dernier vendait plus d'album ([[Graduation]]) que son nouvel opus (Curtis) la semaine de leur sortie, il mettrait fin à sa carrière solo et ne se consacrerait plus qu'à des collaborations.
-Kanye West ayant vendu nettement plus d'albums la semaine du 11 septembre (957 000 contre 691 000 pour l'album de 50 Cent), 50 Cent pourrait s'il tient son engagement annoncer la fin de sa carrière solo. Il convient néanmoins de préciser que les ventes de 50 Cent hors territoire américain, contre-balancent son score négatif par rapport à Kanye West. Il est néanmoins revenu sur cette déclaration puisqu'il annonce d'ores et déjà un dernier album.

+{{Main|G-Unit vs. The Game feud}}
+In early 2005, 50 Cent began a feud with [[The Game (rapper)|The Game]], whom he was close to before releasing his debut album ''[[The Documentary]]''. After its release, 50 Cent felt The Game was disloyal for saying he did not want to participate in G-Unit's feuds with other rappers and even wanting to work with artists they were feuding with. He also claimed that he wrote six songs on the album and was not receiving proper credit for his work, which The Game denied.<ref>Reid, Shaheem ([[March 1]] [[2005]]).

+===Lawsuit===
-*{{Traduction/Référence|en|50 cent}}
+On [[July 21]] [[2007]], 50 Cent filed a [[United States dollar|US$]]1 million lawsuit against advertising company Traffix Inc. of [[Pearl River, New York]] for using his image in a promotion which he says threatens his safety. He learned about the internet ad after one of his staff members saw it on a [[MySpace]] page. According to court documents, the ad features a cartoon image of the rapper and the message: "shoot the rapper and you will win $5000 or five ring tones guaranteed." Though the ad did not use his name, the image allegedly intended to resemble him, suggesting he endorsed the ad. The lawsuit calls it a "vile, tasteless and despicable" use of 50 Cent's image that "quite literally calls for violence against him". The lawsuit also seeks for unspecified [[punitive damages]] and a permanent [[injunction]] against the use of his image without permission.<ref>[http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/story/2007/07/21/50cent-lawsuit-ad.html?ref=rss 50 Cent says ad threatens his life, files lawsuit].
