"50 ain't no boxer and he ain't trying to fight him. The man ain't did nothing for you to try to deal with him like that, so why are you being a media gangster? He's an Instagram gangster and that's lady stuff. That's what lady's do. Real men don't do stuff like that. This dude is a media...50 went from a street gangster to a media gangster. He's a social network gangster. You gotta have more class than that, man," stated heavyweight contender Amir Mansour, who shared his thoughts 50 Cent's latest beef with undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd "Money" Mayweather. Check it out!
PC: You took to social media to give your take on the 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather saga. When you saw the way everything played out, what were your thoughts?
AM: When I first saw it, it's obviously humorous. But at the same time, it's obvious that 50 Cent never really was this man's friend. And it's sad for me to see two black men like that who we used to see together all the time who was obviously so-called friends, and then you have a brother making fun of him about a serious matter. Illiteracy is wide spread, and it's not just with boxers, but throughout the NFL. We've had NFL players who have come out and said that they were pushed through school because they were good at what they were doing and they were sitting up in college and couldn't even read. It's the same in baseball and basketball, and to me, that's a serious issue. So like I say, you can see he never was Floyd's friend if you gonna come at this man and start some media frenzy over the fact that you feel he can't read. He can read. Maybe he can't read as fluent as some of us, but he can read. You wanna make a big deal about that and have this man lose focus because he's coming up on a very tough fight. This man is training for a fight and you wanna make videos and mock him because he has a little problem with reading. To me, that's just disrespectful as black men and brothers, and really as men period. To be on some website saying things like that about him, and sure Mayweather responded and who wouldn't respond, but I tell you this much, I'd rather be not so good at reading a book than a piece of shit father to my kids, you understand. I will lay my life down for my children and one thing we do know is Floyd is a great parent. You always see his kids ringside cheering their father on and involved. Hey, you might be better than me at something, but that don't mean you better than me all around or better than me as a person. I just thought that was foul that the brother came at him before an important fight like this, and for him to put that type of information out there, whether it's true or not, you obviously wasn't that man's friend before. It's just some things that you don't do and I feel like that's one of them.
PC: So you're saying you wouldn't be as shocked if this came from an enemy, but coming from someone who was at one point a friend and even recently said Floyd was like his brother still, you feel it was foul?
AM: Exactly man. Honestly, I feel as though it's all about his timing and I feel that 50, in his heart, wants to take this man off his game plan and try to make him lose focus and worry about other things other than the task at hand. He got a real tough fight coming up, so why would you want to bother this man like that before a tough fight. And listen, even if he can't read at all and he was straight up 100% illiterate, he's definitely no dummy. He has surrounded himself with some of the smartest people on the planet who have helped him become filthy rich. They showed him and helped him maximize not only his talent, but his worth. Who is 50 surrounded by that's gonna help him do better? He's surrounded by a bunch of yes men. All he do is beef and this dude is always in the media starting beefs with this rapper or that rapper or this person or that person. He not no killer. He not no killer and he not no gangster. 50 know he lost a lot of street credibility when he went and started talking about the guy Supreme from New York once Supreme got locked up. When Supreme was on the streets, 50 ain't have nothing to say about the man. As soon as the man got locked up, he started talking a lot of trash about the man. He lost a lot of street credibility because of that. And brothers like me won't buy his album. I know a lot of brothers from New York. I know a lot of shot callers throughout the country that won't support him because the way he did that shit. Hey, you became successful and more power to you. I love to see any and every brother make it in this world and make it in life period on any type of level, but a lot of the things that this dude do is just very disrespectful, man. And you not just disrespecting Floyd, man; you're disrespecting your own people. You always in the media beefing with people, man. Go somewhere and try and help somebody. You got all these millions. Why don't you try and help somebody. Go join the stop bullying foundation or a non-violent foundation or something. This dude is always promoting beef with one person or another. It's just ridiculous, man, because he's been blessed to be successful at something in life and he's taking that blessing and turning it into a curse.
PC: He definitely got the attention of millions.
AM: A lot of people thought it was funny that Floyd couldn't read that good and I just thought it was a shame that a dude that he probably confided in about it in the past, for 50 to put that out there like that man, that just was a low blow. We was once friends and I ain't hurt you and you ain't hurt me. I ain't shoot at you and you ain't shoot at me, so we ain't did nothing but said a few things bad about each other, but you ain't got no business acting like this. There was no need for him to try to embarrass that man in the media like he did. This man got kids that see stuff like that in the media. I felt like that was very disrespectful on 50's behalf and I honestly think he just wanna see Floyd lose because his boy Gamboa got his ass whipped. Tell Floyd...or if Floyd read this, don't even feed into this mess with this dude, you know what I'm saying. Focus on this task at hand and put that work in next month. Don't worry about nobody like 50 Cent, man. 50 ain't no boxer and he ain't trying to fight him. The man ain't did nothing for you to try to deal with him like that, so why are you being a media gangster? He's an Instagram gangster and that's lady stuff. That's what lady's do. Real men don't do stuff like that. This dude is a media...50 went from a street gangster to a media gangster. He's a social network gangster. You gotta have more class than that, man.
PC: I appreciate your time as always and your honesty and we will talk soon. Is there anything else you want to add?
AM: I also wanna blast that pussy Charlamagne and his radio show Power 105 or whatever show he's on. You get this man to come on your show to promote something positive and how do you repay him? You try and humiliate the man using some footage that he didn't give you permission to use. I will never support that radio station again. If that show comes on when I'm in my car, I'm changing the station. You get this man, a superstar, to come through and show you love and do your show and Floyd was trying to plug something positive and you do that man like that? He's another negative motherfucker, man, and if that's what he has to do to be a journalist or disc jockey or personality or whatever he calls himself, I won't be supporting that shit. He had every opportunity to not play that shit and was asked before they played it was he sure and he still ran with it. That's bitch shit, man. This female on there... I forgot her name [Angela Yee], she didn't seem like she was really with it, but she was just there. She was the one who put a halt to the shit, so I don't want to blame her by association. I support her 100%, but that Charlamagne dude, I'll never support nothing he does.
