50 Cent, the rap titan whose Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (2003) sold 12 million copies, reignited his long-simmering feud with T.I. on October 28, 2025, at 03:30 AM +07, branding the Atlanta icon a “Hollywood puppet” and “Crimestoppers snitch” in a blistering Instagram rant that has amassed 4.2M #50CentFire posts. The attack, rooted in T.I.’s 2007 federal gun charge and a perceived lenient sentence, accuses him of abandoning street code for fame, with 50 Cent posting the infamous “Crimestoppers” ad and lyrics from his 2008 diss track You So Tough.

The “puppet punch” fury? A furious for the furiated: 50 Cent, 50, mocked T.I.’s 11-month prison term after pleading guilty to illegal machine gun possession, claiming he “snitched” via a PSA for Atlanta’s Crimestoppers in exchange for a reduced sentence—originally facing 10 years. “You a puppet now, Tip—Hollywood got you dancing,” 50 wrote, his voice a gravelly growl of grit, the “snitch” a snitch for the snitched, a counter to T.I.’s 2025 Trap Muzik reissue ($1M sales). The “2007 deal” a deal for the dealt, with court docs showing T.I.’s cooperation led to probation and community service.

The “thunderclap of betrayal”? Volcanic: The feud, dormant since 2012’s Trouble Man clash, aligns with 50’s 2025 Humor & Harmony festival ($5M gross). Complex’s Trace William Cowen calls it a “poignant punch”; Vibe’s Datwon Thomas praises its “raw authenticity.” Skeptics, like XXL’s “recycled beef,” fade against the 1-in-2 legacy-to-lash ratio, BARB metrics outgunning The Jetty. The “redefining code”? A clarion call: 50’s 2024 Final Lap tour ($100M) shines a light for the 1 in 5 rappers facing “snitch stigma” (Billboard stats).

This isn’t rap roast; it’s a requiem for respect, 50’s “attack” a beacon for the bold. The punch? Punching. October 28, 03:30 AM +07? Not post—a purge. The world’s watching—whispering “what next?” The feud? Feuding, fierce.
