The G-Unit mogul reveals he almost responded to Jim Jones, Fabolous, and Others on a Mixtape

50Cent believes that New York hip-hop rappers are dominating the podcasting scene too much.

The rapper and entertainment executive, featured in a hilarious new DoorDash commercial tied to Super Bowl LX, discussed the current state of podcasting in a recent interview with Rolling Stone.

In addition to highlighting his subtle digs at Sean “Diddy” Combs in the campaign spot, Fifty also shared his thoughts on the podcast boom, noting that rappers like Fat Joe, Jadakiss, and Jim Jones are hosting their own audio programs.

“New York City is turning into a podcast. The whole fucking New York hip-hop is turning into a podcast. So there ain’t going to be nobody for them to interview because they’re all podcasters,” Fif told Rolling Stone.

“They’ve got to go to everyone else’s podcast to interview each other because that much of it is turning into that. So now, do I respect them as journalists or do I respect them as artists? When they’re speaking, they’re offering an opinion that you wouldn’t hear.”

The Diplomats member Jim Jones criticized Fifty in a December episode of his podcast Let’s Rap About It, describing it as “petty” for the New York legend to executive produce the docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning about Diddy.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, he discussed how Capo and Fab (together with podcast cohosts Maino and Dave East) released a freestyle targeting him during their conflict. The Queens icon disclosed that he nearly resumed rapping and considered releasing a mixtape in the winter as a response to this tension.

"I almost put a whole tape out because of the rap podcast thing," he revealed. "I never said anything about anyone if they didn't do something or we didn't have an actual issue. They responded to something that I said about them not paying their bills, which was true. They responded to that by rapping. And I’m like, ‘Okay, just because they’re rappers.’"
