An enemy of 50 Cent will forever be an enemy of 50 Cent, and that seems true about Floyd Mayweather, specifically. Although the two were once tight associates, their relationship collapsed, and now, Fif takes any opportunity he can to troll him.
Most recently, Mayweather was reported to be facing felony charges for allegedly issuing bad checks, the latest in his financial troubles. Per ESPN, he was accused of theft and “intent to defraud” after attempting to purchase a $200K watch in Las Vegas using bad checks. He’s now being charged with “theft, value 100,000 or greater” and “draw or pass check with intent to defraud, value $1,200 or greater.”
Of course, 50 Cent didn’t waste any time finding pleasure in Mayweather’s hardships here. In his usual mocking tone, he wrote, “Damn Champ WTF is up if you need some money just call me. We could have kept this sh*t from getting so messy. The feds looking for you, love you bro I’m not mad at you anymore call me.”
So far, we haven’t heard from Mayweather but his attorney did show up on his behalf for a court appearance on Monday. The complaint claims Mayweather issued a check when he “had insufficient money, property, or credit” in his account. What’s worse is that the theft charge alleges that he wrote the check “knowing that the check would not be paid when presented” and accused him of doing so “knowingly, feloniously, and without lawful authority.”
Mayweather’s Attorney Responds
His attorney, Adrian Lobo, said that Mayweather “had absolutely no intent to defraud” Gold & Beyond, the company that filed the complaint against the boxer. “This matter doesn’t belong in criminal courts,” Lobo said, claiming that the relationship between Mayweather and the owner of Gold & Beyond is long-standing and that it should’ve been a civil claim instead. Lobo said the next court date is September 17th.
