50 Cent Opens Up About Sending Lil Meech to Rehab Amid Tensions with Big Meech
50 Cent has revealed that he took drastic steps to help Lil Meech, the son of notorious drug lord Big Meech, by sending him to rehab. The music mogul’s candid admission was shared in a recent Instagram post, where he hinted that Big Meech may have been envious of the close bond between him and his son.
The Bond Between 50 Cent and Lil Meech
The relationship between 50 Cent and Lil Meech grew stronger when the young actor starred in 50’s hit series BMF. However, 50 Cent hinted that while filming the show, Meech, whom he affectionately calls “MeMe,” was struggling with a drug issue. This led to 50 taking matters into his own hands and intervening, sending Meech to rehab.
“I thought about it I think he was uncomfortable with me and MeMe’s relationship,” 50 Cent wrote in his post. “I’m telling MeMe I don’t want him doing drugs. He’s telling him he used to do X like it’s cool. I tell MeMe chill stop spending all ya money, he’s telling him how much money he blew. People don’t know I had to send MeMe to rehab.”
50 Cent’s Account of the Incident on Set
50 Cent continued to share more details about the situation, describing an incident on the BMF set that raised red flags about Lil Meech’s condition. He revealed that actor Russell Hornsby noticed Meech was high on set and even began throwing up during a weapons test. This prompted the crew to investigate, leading to the discovery of whippets, a recreational drug, in Meech’s truck.
“I said what the fvck is whippets? I look it’s the shit that be in Bebe guns,” 50 Cent recounted in his post.
The Ongoing Feud with Big Meech
The tension between 50 Cent, Big Meech, and Lil Meech has only escalated in recent months. The feud began when 50 accused Big Meech of snitching on his former partner Dionne “Cuffy” Gatling, a claim that Meech has strongly denied.
50 Cent, in a past interview, stated, “I helped [Big Meech’s] family make over 5 million legit dollars. It’s not my fault it’s all gone.” He also took aim at Big Meech, saying, “You think people don’t see you want to shine so bad, you wearing the baby’s jewelry. B*tch give the baby back his jewelry!”
In response, Big Meech vehemently denied the allegations, stating, “I wasn’t gonna address this because I’m not trying to let nobody trick me off the streets. But I’ve never folded, never told — never will. Death before dishonor, always.”
Conclusion
As the tensions continue to simmer, 50 Cent’s revelation about sending Lil Meech to rehab adds another layer to the ongoing drama. Whether the father-son duo can reconcile with the mogul remains to be seen, but for now, 50 Cent’s unwavering support for Lil Meech remains clear.
