50 Cent confronted Tony Yayo, who claimed the jacket was headed to storage and said Fiddy has $10 million worth of clothing stashed away.
50 Cent took a break from clowning Diddy over his multiple lawsuits to roast G-Unit soldier Tony Yayo for helping himself to his wardrobe.
On Wednesday (February 28), Fiddy took to Instagram with a video of him jokingly confronting Yayo over the theft.
“This n#### got my jacket on!” 50 Cent said from behind the camera. “This my hat though,” Yayo replied, adding that the jacket was headed to storage. “He got $10 million worth of this s### in storage. I love you big homie, come on. I’ll pay for it, I got you.”
Yayo insisted he didn’t take anything else before throwing Uncle Murda under the bus. “Murda took all the leathers!” he added while 50 panned the camera to the Brooklyn native, who was laughing unashamedly.
50 Cent then got fake serious for a moment: “Let me ask you a question. When you found this jacket that you know you didn’t pick out, that you know you didn’t buy, that nobody brought to you saying it was yours, did you identify that you was taking my jacket?” he asked.
“I did identify it,” Yayo replied as the group descended into laughter.
“I gotta watch everybody,” the G-Unit founder captioned the video.
The G-Unit cohort is fresh off the Final Lap Tour, which touched down in 70 cities in over 20 countries between July and December last year.
50 Cent On Tony Yayo’s “Wild” Energy
50 Cent addressed his relationship with Tony Yano and his “wild” energy affected G-Unit as a business in his 2020 memoir Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter.
“Transitioning from a street lifestyle to a more public persona was going to require a new mindset. Yayo didn’t seem to register that. If I got into a disagreement with another artist, Yayo’s reaction was ‘let’s just bang ’em,’ because that would have been his response back in the neighborhood,” explained 50 Cent.
He continued, “If we got $100,000 for a series of club appearances, Yayo wasn’t thinking about putting it in the bank. His first thought would be, ‘Hey, this could get us three and a half kilos of cocaine. Let’s flip those, and we’ll be sitting on some real money.’ Time and time again, I’d have to tell him, ‘Yayo, we can’t do that.’”
