Chrissy Teigen, known for her witty Twitter commentary and love of the Real Housewives series, tweeted “I never ever want 50 cent to be mad at me.” She followed the tweet with another, “Please love me, fofty.” Lucky for her, Teigen’s not on 50 Cent’s hit list, which has included Vivica A. Fox and Floyd Mayweather in the past. He posted her tweet on Instagram saying, “I love you @chrissyteigen & @johnlegend, these people just keep trying me.” Oh look, maybe he does have a heart after all…

To sum it up…

As of late, 50 Cent is still shaming Emmett on his Instagram page. By the way, doesn’t Instagram have rules against this sort of thing? Yes, 50 Cent probably felt it was wrong for Randall Emmett to ignore the fact that he owes him a large sum of money, but online bullying is never the way to go. Likes and comments on Instagram won’t solve the problem, but having a real, offline conversation about it most likely will. If 50 Cent really wants his money back, he should try it.
