How Much Money Did 50 Cent Pay Rick Ross

50 Cent Parties With Rick Ross' Ex Who Once Sued 50 for Sex Tape Leak

50 Cent and Lastonia Leviston have been partying in Miami over the weekend, with 50 posting on Instagram to prove it. This is the same woman whose sex tape 50 leaked in 2009, for which he was ordered to pay over $7 million in damages. She also happens to be Rick Ross' baby mother, and hence, the perfect way for 50 to keep the longstanding beef and series of public trolling jabs at Ross alive.

In case you've managed to somehow avoid this now decade-old beef, let's catch you up. When Ross came in the game, 50 felt subbed. Ever the one to address beef and crush opponents before they grow, 50 made the "Officer Ricky (Go Ahead Try Me)" track andOfficer Ricky cartoons, and both MCs kept the disses coming ever since. Ross invited 50's son to come live with him, 50 clowned Ross' album sales—it's been tit for tat for 10 years now. Most recently, 50 clowned Ross while he was hospitalized for a series of seizures—which shows you how savage and ruthless 50 can be if it's on.

Now, in 2009, 50 was sued for over $7 million for leaking Leviston's sex tape and causing her emotional distress. In 2015, however, 50 sued Ross—claiming that it was Rozay himself who uploaded Leviston's sex tape and that he merely shared it once it was up. Whatever the case may be, 50 and Leviston have been partying in Miami together, with 50 uploading evidence to Instagram. This is savage, classic 50.

"You know they all love me, like a fat kid love cake," wrote 50. "Come kiss me baby LOL get the strap." 50, Leviston, and a few other women are all taking shots together at an undisclosed location in Miami. It's unclear whether this a mere coincidence, or has been a planned, long-term goal of 50's to get Leviston on his side—just to post about it on social media and annoy Ross. It would, after all, be in character for him, as 50 is the undisputed king of trolling in the game.

and while we didn't think we'd still be talking about 50 Cent and Rick Ross' decade-long beef, here we are. That's right, for a beef that kicked off around the BET Awards in 2008, it's astonishing that there are new ways to further their friction.

For those who don't recall, the beef between 50 and Ross came to a head in March of 2009, when 50 posted a 13-minute sex tape featuring the mother of Rick Ross' child, Latsonia Leviston, and some random guy on This Is 50 dot com. 50 even added his own audio to the tape, which featured him commenting on the tape as well as throwing shots at Ross and Latsonia. 50 ended up being sued for $7 million for leaking the tape and causing Latsonia emotional distress, and the fed continued on-and-off for another nine years, commencing with some nonsense going down during Memorial Day Weekend.

While there's no word on why or how this came to be, 50 Cent posted a photo of himself with Latsonia partying in Miami over the weekend. There was also some video that ended up hitting Instagram with the caption "all love" on it while 50, Latsonia, and assorted crew members shared a toast.

There's no real backstory as to why they linked up, or even if it was just a coincidence or if 50 planned it out. Either way, if you know 50 Cent, you know he's not someone who will give up an opportunity to throw shade at Ross.

As of the time of this posting, Ross hasn't said anything about the images and video, so either he hasn't seen it at all, or he did and doesn't give a f*ck. Time will tell. For Complex News, I'm Frazier. For more stories like these, keep it locked right here to Complex on YouTube.
