50 Cent & Busta Rhymes Roast Each Other’s Previous Hairstyles: ‘He Got a Leather Lineup’
50 Cent is a menace when it comes to his social media antics. While 50 and Busta Rhymes are good friends, they roasted each other in a hilarious back-and-forth on Instagram on Tuesday (Nov. 12), which focused on their hairstyle botches of the past.
50 lit the fuse after seeing Busta’s hair looking darker than usual, and the G-Unit boss accused the “Touch It” rapper of using some colored paint.
“Nah why crazy s–t be happening and [ninja emoji]’s don’t say nothing,” he wrote before including a photo of Fat Joe’s Rewind 10 beard-coloring brand. “I think @fatjoe, Khaled and Tyson need to intervene here. Lol WTF.”
50 said: “How this n—a Busta paint his whole hair on? How the f–k you let him go outside looking like that, Joe?”
Busta isn’t one to back down and he quickly returned fire with a photo of 50 from several years ago appearing to grow his hair out with some curls at the time. “WHEN YOU GOT THIS TYPE A CRAZY SHT GOIN AND NOBODY IS SAYING NOTHING,” he wrote. “WHAT TYPE ADVISORS YOU LISTENING TO BRUH??? WHAT THE FK IN A 100 JARS OF TCB GEL TYPE SHT IS THIS MY N—A?? @50cent C’MON MAN!! BY THE WAY FIF, THIS S–T LOOK LIKE YA JERRY CURL STINK TOO BRUDDAH!!”
The Queens rap legend then upped the score, calling out Busta Rhymes for having a “leather lineup.” “N—s always gotta one-up me, right? Have one up on me and s–t. I get a banging leather jacket and this n—a Busta get a leather lineup,” he quipped.
Busta Rhymes appeared to get the last word in when he posted a screenshot of a bald and malnourished 50 from his role in 2011’s All Things Fall Apart flick. “THE BLESSINGS DON’T STOP SO WE AIN’T NEVER GONNA STOP,” Busta added. “DAMN @50cent YOU WAS MY #1 CUSTI WHEN I USED TO SELL CRACK HOMIE. DAMN YOUR HAIR LINE BEEN FUCKED UP SINCE THEN BRUH!!”
Of course, Busta and 50 are close and this is all in good fun. Busta Rhymes opened up for 50 on his lucrative Final Lap Tour in 2023, which eclipsed $100 million in earnings and made him the second rapper ever to do so at the time.
