Amid a legal battle with Tia Kemp and claims that he hates Black women, 50 Cent joked about losing sleep thanks to these criticisms.

50 Cent always heads to the Internet to troll his opposition, whether they're famous faces, media figures, or everyday folks just criticizing his moves. On Instagram, he had some thoughts to share about a social media post claiming he hates Black women, in reference to his ongoing legal battle with Tia Kemp.

While the G-Unit mogul has never shied away from conflict online, his recent legal moves against Kemp for alleged defamation rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way. However, the irony and sarcasm in his statements on the matter, plus his existing legal responses, indicate he's not backing down.

"It’s 5:43 AM I can’t sleep after reading some of things these people are saying about me on line," 50 wrote earlier today (Friday, November 6). "I’m emotionally exhausted and unable to take these vicious attacks. I have no choice but to add these people to the defamation lawsuit."

In addition, he shared an old picture of himself with another caption that pointed to this presumed stress, which is most likely a deflection of dismissive contempt. "I don’t know why people would take the time to try and Smear, my name and reputation I’m just out here trying to make it like everyone else. I can’t sleep, but good morning. Smh."

50 Cent & Tia Kemp Beef

For those unaware, a lot of the criticism floating around today concerns 50 Cent's online war with Tia Kemp, the former partner of his hip-hop rival Rick Ross. After they traded blows and insults related to their sons, 50 and Tia are now dealing with the legal blowback of this conflict.

He sued her for alleged defamation and secured a temporary restraining order against her concerning his son Sire. Kemp went off on Fif for allegedly being a "rat" and acting like a victim, and it's clear they have no intentions to resolve amicably in court or online.

50 Cent's other recent conflicts with Black women involve recent allegations against Courtney Kemp, the creator of the Power series. But despite how people respond to these controversial clashes, he won't change his ways anytime soon, for better or for worse.
