50 Cent’s comments came after T.I. challenged him to a “versus” battle, an offer that 50 Cent flatly rejected. During the interview, he referenced a line from one of his songs, implying that T.I.’s legal troubles and past cooperation with law enforcement diminish his credibility in the hip-hop community. “You keep your mouth shut or you eat the cheese,” he remarked, hinting at T.I.’s previous admission of snitching on a deceased relative during an interrogation.
