Even hip-hop heavyweights like 50 Cent aren’t immune to family drama — especially when it isn’t even their own. The rap mogul just stepped into Finesse2Tymes’ very public fallout with his mother, Pluria Alexander, and the internet can’t stop talking.
On May 14, 50 posted a now-viral clip of Alexander emotionally accusing her son of cutting her off financially, ignoring her calls, and leaving her at risk of eviction.
In the video, Alexander claimed she was homeless and without any help from her famous son. She even hinted that her relationship with the rapper had been strained for a while.
“Hey Finesse, you look just like your momma, man. Just call her,” 50 captioned.
“What do you do when that happens? Nothing. Look at her and say you want some of this money or not. Stay off the phone, Ma. Who showed you how to make a video anyway? @1finesse2tymes please don’t say nothing crazy.”
The post — classic 50 with its mix of shade and tough love — instantly blew up, drawing thousands of comments from fans and fellow artists.
Finesse2Tymes Responds… Kind Of
Rather than directly addressing 50’s message or his mom’s claims, Finesse2Tymes opted for a cryptic response. Hours later, he posted an Instagram Story reading:
“Keep ya eyes open and ya mouth shut,” alongside a self-portrait.
The vague post left fans wondering — was this aimed at 50? His mother? Or both?
A Family Rift in the Spotlight
This messy back-and-forth didn’t come out of nowhere. Just days before 50’s post, Finesse dropped a freestyle comparing himself to Eminem and dropping bars that hinted at fractured family ties.
Meanwhile, Alexander launched a $6,000 GoFundMe to cover moving expenses, claiming it’s the third time her son has left her without a home.
She also told supporters her strained relationship with Finesse has taken a toll on her mental health, saying she’s been battling anxiety and depression caused by what she calls “narcissistic abuse.”
Fans Take Sides
Social media reaction to the feud has been split right down the middle:
- Team Mom: Many fans called on Finesse to reconcile with Alexander, saying family should always come first.
- Team Finesse: Others questioned whether personal issues like this should be aired out online, with some accusing Alexander of chasing clout.
Why 50’s Involvement Matters
50 Cent is no stranger to public family disputes — he’s had a notoriously rocky relationship with his own son, Marquise Jackson. His decision to address Finesse’s situation struck a chord with fans who felt he was projecting his own experiences.
And, let’s be honest, 50’s social media commentary has the power to turn any private matter into a trending topic within hours.
What’s Next?
Neither Finesse nor Alexander has offered a public update since 50’s post, and it’s unclear whether the rapper plans to reconnect with his mom.
If history tells us anything, this feud could either quietly fade away or explode into another round of viral videos and diss tracks.
One thing’s for sure — when 50 Cent jumps into your personal business, the whole world is watching.
