50 Cent has added Beyonce Knowles and husband Jay-Z to his list of problems.
In a radio interview with Power 105.1 Monday, the 38-year-old rapper, whose real name Curtis Jackson, recalled a nearly violent run-in with Beyoncé at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. He claimed that the "Drunk in Love" singer confronted him for getting into an argument with Jay Z.
"One time [Beyoncé] jumped off of a ledge and came running over cause she thought me and Jay had issues," 50 Cent said. "And I'm like, 'What the f***? Did she really just jump and run up on me like that?'"
He added: "She jumped out and I was like this, 'What?! That Bonnie and Clyde for real! You try this or what, boy?! I'm here!' She bugged out at me. I looked and Jay starts laughing. He's like, 'Yo, you know what it is.'"
The rapper named boxer Floyd Mayweather as his witness to the incident. Us Weekly reported that Beyonce was lead to believe that there was beef between the rapper and her husband. During an interview with Sirius XM's Shade 45, 50 Cent talked about his issues with Jay-Z.
"You need someone to work off; everybody does, wherever you're at. It doesn't always have to be negative," 50 Cent said. "I'm happy where I'm at, so why wouldn't I be happy where he is. You gotta say, 'Where was Jay Z from 2003 to 2006?' I sold 23 million records between 2003 and 2006. He stopped making music and said I'm gonna go be the president of a record [company]. Like I quit."
The Daily Mail reported that Beyonce was also upset over the comments the rapper made about the elevator fight between Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles and Jay-Z. Last month, a surveillance video from a Met Ball after party in New York City showed Solange physically attacking Jay-Z in an elevator.
After video footage of the altercation was leaked the trio released a joint statement, saying: "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."
