ATLANTA, GA — What was supposed to be a celebration of two legendary catalogs has spiraled into one of the most personal hip-hop feuds of 2026. The tension between Atlanta’s own T.I. and New York mogul 50 Cent reached a boiling point this week, shifting from competitive banter to deep personal insults involving wives, children, and late parents.
The Spark: A 'King Rat' Label
The conflict reignited after T.I. doubled down on his desire to face 50 Cent in a Verzuz battle during an appearance on Million Dollaz Worth of Game. T.I. accused the G-Unit boss of "ducking" the matchup, claiming they had previously agreed to the battle in private before 50 Cent publicly acted confused.
50 Cent, known for his relentless social media trolling, fired back on Instagram by calling T.I. "King Rat," a reference to long-standing (and disputed) allegations regarding T.I.’s past legal history.
The Escalation: Tiny and Tina Knowles
The feud took a darker turn when 50 Cent posted an unflattering, edited photo of T.I.’s wife, Tameka "Tiny" Harris, telling T.I. to "Keep my name out ya mouth."
The situation grew even more complex when Tina Knowles (Beyoncé’s mother) entered the fray. After Knowles shared a post praising Tiny’s "feminine energy" and beauty, 50 Cent responded by mocking the interaction, posting a photo of Ms. Tina and seemingly taking shots at T.I.’s children, labeling them "little f***ed up albino kids." He even followed up with a GIF of Solange Knowles in the infamous elevator incident, mocking the family’s history.
King Harris Responds: Crossing the Line?
The most controversial moment of the week came from T.I.’s son, King Harris. In a fiery social media response, the 21-year-old took aim at 50 Cent’s late mother, Sabrina Jackson, who passed away when 50 was only eight years old. King shared a photo of a headstone featuring her name and dropped lyrics attacking her memory, a move that many fans on social media labeled a "low blow" and "out of bounds."
T.I. Drops the Needle: 'The Right One'
While the social media war raged, T.I. returned to his roots to handle the conflict. He released two hard-hitting tracks in 24 hours: "War" and "The Right One." In "The Right One," Tip doesn't hold back, rapping:"Grown men makin' memes, that's a weird-ass flex... / But I'll give his ass the Cajun salt 'bout him mentionin' my wife."
T.I. defended his legacy and his family, making it clear that while he still wants the Verzuz, he has lost all personal respect for the Queens rapper.
The Aftermath: A Sudden Silence
In a move typical of his "post-and-delete" strategy, 50 Cent wiped his Instagram of all posts related to T.I., Tiny, and the Knowles family late Tuesday night. While the feed is currently quiet, the impact of the insults—particularly those directed at family members—has left a lasting mark on the relationship between the two "Kings."
