50 Cent Laughs at Big Meech Over $120M Rick Ross Drama — Now Meech Reportedly Ready to Step to Him?!

LOS ANGELES — Hip-hop mogul 50 Cent is no stranger to controversy, but his latest jab may have ignited one of the most unexpected feuds of the year — with none other than Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, the infamous co-founder of the Black Mafia Family (BMF).

Tensions reportedly flared after 50 Cent publicly mocked the ongoing $120 million legal battle involving Rick Ross and alleged BMF name and likeness rights. In a now-deleted Instagram post, 50 laughed at the situation, making light of Meech’s supposed involvement — or lack thereof — in controlling the BMF brand as it relates to Ross’s use of it in music, merchandise, and public persona.

“How you let another man make millions off your name while you sittin’ in a cell? Crazy,” 50 reportedly wrote, with a series of laughing emojis, in a post that was quickly screenshotted and circulated.

While 50 has famously produced the Starz series “BMF” — which dramatizes the rise of the Flenory brothers — and has long claimed a close relationship with Big Meech, insiders say the recent comments have crossed a line. Sources close to Meech suggest that the incarcerated drug kingpin feels betrayed and “disrespected publicly” by someone he once considered a supporter.

According to unconfirmed reports, Meech has been voicing his frustration from behind bars, allegedly telling associates he plans to confront 50 when the time comes — whether that be through legal channels, public response, or more direct communication.

“Meech isn’t laughing,” a source told an urban media outlet. “He built that name from nothing. For 50 to laugh at what he’s still fighting for — that’s personal.”

The $120 Million Rick Ross Dispute

The controversy stems from a long-standing claim that Rick Ross, born William Roberts, used the “Free Big Meech” slogan and the BMF name and brand in his music and merchandise without proper licensing or permission. Though Ross has denied wrongdoing, there have been several disputes over whether BMF — or its affiliates — were financially compensated or even consulted.

The lawsuit, seeking $120 million, alleges that Ross capitalized on the legacy of Meech and the BMF empire while distancing himself from the criminal aspect of its history. Now, with 50 Cent inserting himself into the conversation via social media, things appear to be spiraling into a multi-layered drama.

From Friends to Frenemies?

Fans are particularly surprised given 50’s long-standing support of Meech, including helping elevate Meech’s son, Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., into a lead acting role in the BMF series. That loyalty, many assumed, made their bond unbreakable — until now.

Whether this conflict escalates or fizzles out remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: hip-hop’s blend of real-life crime, celebrity business, and street loyalty continues to blur the lines between entertainment and tension.

50 Cent has yet to publicly respond to Meech’s rumored displeasure, but knowing his social media history, it’s likely just a matter of time.

Stay tuned.
