After accusing Tia Kemp of bullying his son, 50 Cent is back to trolling her over the disappearance of her Instagram accounts.

Losing one Instagram account might be frustrating enough, but Tia Kemp's attempts to get back online have apparently become another source of entertainment for 50 Cent. The rapper has been celebrating the disappearance of her social media pages, sharing screenshots of the apparent removals while suggesting that there is more to come. It's an interesting approach for someone currently suing Kemp over allegations that she bullied his teenage son online.

The latest posts show what appears to be a message from Meta indicating that an account had been removed. In another screenshot, 50 highlighted the disappearance of Kemp's backup Instagram page, writing, "Back up down, TikTok and Twitter next." Although 50 seems delighted with the disappearing accounts, he hasn't explicitly claimed responsibility for the removals. Meta also hasn't publicly explained why it took action.

Kemp previously accused 50 of having her Instagram Live suspended, claiming he and his supporters reported her pages. She referred to the rapper as "15cents" and vowed to continue posting despite the restrictions.

50 Cent Continues Mocking Tia Kemp Amid $6 Million Lawsuit

The social media antics are unfolding alongside a much more serious legal dispute. On Oct. 26, 50 filed a federal lawsuit seeking at least $6 million in damages over Kemp's alleged defamatory statements about his 14-year-old son, Sire Jackson. A Florida judge also granted a temporary injunction restricting her contact with the teenager. The conflict escalated after 50 mocked reports that Kemp's adult son with Rick Ross had been assaulted, prompting her to make derogatory comments about Sire.

On Tuesday (Nov. 3), 50 appeared virtually at a hearing concerning the injunction. He told the judge that he wouldn't have continued pursuing the matter if Kemp hadn't responded so aggressively. She didn't attend, and her reported lack of service prevented the court from moving forward with a permanent injunction. The next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 7.

His continued taunting is particularly notable after he publicly condemned online bullying and warned Kemp about the harm such behavior can cause. There's no indication that his posts about her accounts violate any court order, but they certainly suggest he's not interested in ending their online exchanges. Kemp, meanwhile, has continued finding ways to reach her audience despite the apparent account removals. With her next court date approaching, neither seems particularly eager to abandon the feud that brought them there.
