Key Discussions & Insights
1. Recap: How the 50 Cent vs T.I. Beef Escalated
[02:18] – [10:56]
-
Flo welcomes the audience, shouts out live listeners, and immediately references the drama between 50 Cent, T.I., and King's involvement.
-
Explains the origin: the proposed (and ultimately unmaterialized) "Verzuz" rap battle between 50 Cent and T.I.
- T.I. claims 50 Cent agreed to do the battle behind closed doors, then backed out, leading T.I. to publicly state he "lost respect for 50."
- 50 Cent retaliated hard, accusing T.I. of snitching, dragging up old rumors and footage.
- The beef quickly devolved on social media and became increasingly personal.
-
Flo:
"When you come against [50], he's about to come back at you hard as... So when TI said he lost respect for 50, 50 fires back in, talked about how TI is a snitch." [04:17]
Highlight:
- 50 Cent targeted Tiny (T.I.'s wife) with an unflattering Instagram post.
- T.I.’s son, King, entered the fray with insults aimed at 50 Cent’s family and reputation.
2. The Feud Goes “Too Far”
[10:56] – [12:25]
-
Flo plays King's extremely disrespectful audio clip, where King references 50 Cent's deceased mother:
"So tell your dead ass mama dig her ass up and post a picture that look better than my mama... Posting my mama like your mama ain't dead as..." – King, T.I.'s son [10:56]
-
Flo and chat react with shock; discussion centers on the unwritten rule: "don’t speak on the dead."
-
Flo:
"When you tell someone to dig up their dead mama and talk about them because their mom is dead, you just took it to a whole nother level." [12:25]
-
The chat expresses a consensus that the feud crossed a line, with multiple listeners calling it childish, juvenile, and out of bounds.
3. Social Media & One-Upmanship
[14:40] – [19:27]
- Flo recounts further back-and-forths including more Instagram posts and memes; mentions 50 Cent using an edited ATL movie scene.
- King posts a lengthy list of 50 Cent's alleged misdeeds to Instagram, including:
- Getting shot nine times and doing nothing about it.
- Disrespects toward women (names like Lil Kim, Ashanti, Vivica A. Fox).
- Alleged industry beefs, failed rap battles, and airing personal family drama.
- Flo notes how the situation went from competitive banter to an outright mud-slinging contest, dragging in family members.
4. Reflections on Boundaries & Responsibility
[19:27] – [41:35]
-
Flo features audio from T.I., explaining how the 'Verzuz' battle plan was supposed to be “fun”—not malicious.
“It was really about celebrating each other's catalog... now everybody, 'oh, you playing? Okay, you gonna play? All right, cool.'” – T.I. [19:31]
-
Flo and listeners agree everyone shares blame, but King crossed the deepest line.
-
On disrespecting the dead:
"But we also have to realize these people are in the entertainment business and their job is to entertain... but like this person Black Roses just said, yo, you don't speak on the dead, it's gonna come back and bite you, you and yours." [34:15]
-
Flo uses the Hulk Hogan example—how to approach public figures' legacies after death with respect, regardless of controversy.
5. Who Is at Fault and Who Needs to Step Up?
[41:35] – [55:30]
-
Flo’s ranking:
- Worst Move: King’s comments about 50’s mother.
- Second Worst: 50 Cent targeting Tiny (who never engaged in the beef).
- Notes T.I. should publicly address his son's statements, even though King is an adult.
-
Flo:
“The only innocent one here is Tiny, TI's wife, she's totally innocent.” [42:29]
“I think TI should speak on what his son did...this beef is between 50 cent and TI and it should stay between those two.” [43:03] -
Expresses hope that someone (preferably 50 Cent) will walk away to stop further escalation.
-
Chat echoes the need for maturity and resolution, emphasizing consequences when egos are unchecked.
6. Call for an End to the Feud
[55:30] – [59:00]
- Flo calls for both sides to “just walk away”:
“So as a fan who doesn't like what he's seeing here on the Flow show, no filter podcast...I'm calling for everybody involved to just walk away.” [56:23]
- Reiterates that concern comes from seeing how rap beefs can have deadly real-world outcomes.
- Notes all involved got “their cheap shots in”—nothing left but potential violence.
7. Brief Update: Epstein Files & UK Arrests

Reports the arrest of former UK Ambassador Peter Mandelson over Epstein connections.
- Details: Former Prince Andrew also arrested, both now facing possible life sentences if convicted.
- Critiques US law enforcement for inaction—“more is being done overseas than here.”
