Finesse2Tymes fired back at 50 Cent on social media Tuesday (August 12) after the rap mogul publicly mocked the Memphis rapper’s mother and offered unsolicited advice about their fractured relationship.
“@50cent when you call marquise, I’ll call her,” Finesse2Tymes wrote on Instagram Stories, referencing 50 Cent’s own long-standing estrangement from his son, Marquise Jackson.
The response came hours after 50 Cent posted a video of Finesse2Tymes’ mother, Pluria Alexander, who claimed in an emotional clip that her son had cut her off financially and ignored her calls.

In the video, Alexander said she was facing eviction and had nowhere to go. She also launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking $6,000 for moving expenses, saying she had been left homeless by her son for the third time.
50 Cent didn’t hold back in the caption, writing, “Hey Finesse you look just like yo momma man just call her. I said what the f### do you do when that happens, nothing look at her and say you want some of this money or not. Stay yo ass off the phone Ma, who showed you how to make a video anyway? @1finesse2tymes please don’t say nothing crazy.”
Finesse2Tymes didn’t directly address the comments but posted a cryptic message shortly after: “Keep ya eyes open And ya mouth shut,” alongside a photo of himself.
Earlier this week, the rapper released a freestyle where he likened himself to Eminem and referenced his strained relationship with his mother. Meanwhile, Alexander said the ongoing rift has caused her anxiety and depression, which she described as “narcissistic abuse.”
The online back-and-forth also drew attention to 50 Cent’s own troubled history with his son, Marquise. Their relationship has been publicly strained for years, with Marquise previously accusing his father of being absent and emotionally unavailable. In 2022, Marquise offered $6,700 to spend a day with 50 Cent, mocking the monthly child support he once received. 50 responded with sarcasm and dismissed the gesture entirely.
The latest exchange between 50 Cent and Finesse2Tymes adds another layer to the ongoing conversation about fractured family ties in Hip-Hop, especially when played out in public.
Alexander’s GoFundMe campaign remained active as of Tuesday (August 12).
