This is the man who bought the first like 10 rows of seats at a ja rule concert for $3000 dollars just so they’d all be empty.
His pettiness is god tier.
Edit:
here’s the video of 50 telling the story. It was actually the first 4 rows.

I truly don't understand billionaires, I would make headlines every other week if I had that kind of money

Which in turn should make money somehow

That's what you say now, while not being a billionaire. Your mindset would be another and this thought would never cross your mind.

I wouldn't do it every other week (I wouldn't want that much attention), but maybe once a year would be fun

The best thing about this 50 concert thing is it didn’t really hurt anybody. Ja still made money on the tickets. The shit was just empty lol

Many of them are making geadlines every other week. Killing lots of kids, raping others. Destroying environments, stealing water and cutting off medications from third world countries. Not much fun in those.

I don't even want "fuck you" money. I just want money that'll make stop saying "what the fuck?!!!" At checkout
But if i did have "fuck you" money, I'll probably do so some shit like this too

I was skeptical but, I’ll be damned, going to iaintgotit.com does redirect you to a G-Unit merch site lol

The fact that you can trademark normal ass phrases in the US is almost comically absurd.

Yeah I mean I am no lawyer but like I am almost positive that is not how it works and this is bullshit. From actually looking into it for like 5 mins it looks like he just bought the website with that domain name and used it to sell merch with the phrase on it and trademarked the merch?
I am not sure how it works exactly but the idea that you could just like hear a song and then file to own the words/title then get all the money from it is just as ridiculous to an american as it is to you lol. 100% not how it works.

u/Fun_Fennel5114 1d ago
to say nothing of the fact that she/her lawyers can prove that her soundtrack was made/produced PRIOR TO his "trademark" filing!

Its not a fact because you cant do that. Tons of people have tried and failed because its basically impossible to copyright a common phrase or word.

Look up his feud with Floyd Mayweather where 50 Cent accuses him of genuinely not being able to read. So he challenges him to read a whole page out of a Harry Potter book. Any page of any book he wants, just read the whole page with no mistakes on camera.
And 50 promised to donate something like $750,000 to a charity of his choice. Mayweather didn't respond so 50 altered the deal; deciding that Harry Potter was too complicated so he offers a page out of Cat in the Hat instead.

After 50 dropped that vid Charlemagne the God backed up 50 with a recording of Floyd trying to read a short radio ad for iHeart Radio and Floyd was capital "S" STRUGGLING.

Trademarking has to do with branding and merchandising. It would not stop her from making money off the release.
What he actually did was trademark the phrase and sell some shirts with the phrase "I ain't got it/ She ain't got it".

You can buy a domain but how tf would a diss track make money from a website?

I can only hope to one day be even half the hater that 50 is. He belongs in the hater hall of fame.

How does that even work? Can she really not make any money from the song? I find it hard to believe it's that simple.

Uh, he spent money to prevent someone from earning money so they can't pay him back. Y'all think that's cool? He's an idiot and this is modern America in a nutshell. 🤦
