50 Cent has jokes for Jim Jones following the Dipset rapper’s recent scuffle with two old men at a Florida airport.
Taking to Instagram with a video of an old man in the gym on Sunday (May 5), Fif joked that one of her fellow New Yorker’s opponents was training for a rematch.
“Yo the old man from the airport said he gonna see you jimmy, stop thinking shit Sweet! [laughing emoji] LOL,” he wrote.

Jim Jones got caught up in a violent confrontation over the weekend at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The three people involved were caught on camera going at each other on an escalator, after which two officers from the Broward County Sherriff’s Office broke up the scuffle. When one of them subsequently took a cooperative Jones away to a seating area, the rapper claimed that he was defending himself and argued: “It’s two of them against me.”
Moments after the scuffle was published online, the Harlem rapper took to Instagram himself and said in a since-deleted post: “To all my family I am good love yal way to many calls n text to reply to God is good.”
He went on to reassure his loved ones in the clip, adding: “I’m aight, I gotta get dressed for this party, man. I’ll be right with y’all. Promise you, promise you: I’m aight.”
As for 50 Cent and Jim Jones’ relationship, the pair have a long and contentious past that was enflamed again when 6ix9ine identifed the Dipset rapper as a Nine Trey Gangsta Blood gang member during his October 2018 testimony.
Most recently, 50 Cent called Jim a liar after the latter claimed it was Dipset who kicked off the mixtape wave that dominated the streets at the turn of the century, not G-Unit.
Jones then set the record straight from his perspective during a lengthy appearance on the Flip Da Script podcast in 2023.
“Let’s get this right and I’m going to keep it all the way a buck,” he explained. “We started the mixtape movement, right? And it wasn’t a crew mixtape. We were making real albums and putting them out as mixtapes. G-Unit was doing replays of other people’s beats and making mixtapes.”
He continued: “It was a big difference. We was using our mixtapes as albums to promote our real albums, and off those mixtapes, we were taking singles that the people started loving and started putting them on our real albums.
“But even in that, we put the Dipset mixtape out first before G-Unit put their mixtape out. Now go Google it.”
The mogul laughed off Jimmy’s words and replied to an Instagram post featuring the above’ bold claim with: “He lying LOL.”

David Lee Roth made an unexpected appearance at the Stagecoach Festival on Saturday evening, stepping onto the stage with Teddy Swims to perform “Jump,” the iconic 1984 hit by Van Halen.
During his Stagecoach set, Swims welcomed Roth after running through his recent single “Mr. Know It All” along with “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” both taken from his debut studio album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), which arrived in September 2023.
This moment marked the third straight festival where the two have shared the stage. Swims previously invited Roth out during recent sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where he introduced him as “David Lee Roth from the best band of all time, Van Halen,” before they kicked into “Jump” together.
The latest performance unfolded during a chaotic night at Stagecoach, as strong winds earlier in the evening led to a temporary evacuation of the grounds and forced several changes to the schedule, including removing artists such as Journey and Riley Green from the lineup.
The evacuation came after powerful gusts swept through the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the site of the festival. An “emergency evacuation” notice appeared on screens across the venue, urging attendees to “move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit,” while alerts sent through the festival’s official app instructed people to clear the area.
The interruption impacted several stages, with the Mane Stage sitting between sets when the evacuation alert was issued. Wind conditions had been intensifying throughout the day, with stronger gusts arriving in the evening as part of a regional wind advisory.
Even with the disruption, Swims’ set ultimately continued, and Roth’s surprise appearance stood out as one of the biggest highlights of the night as fans returned once the festival resumed.
Stagecoach, one of the largest country music festivals in the United States, takes place every year at the same location as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and regularly draws tens of thousands of fans.
