Fabolous, Jim Jones, Maino and Dave East Drop 'Squatters' Freestyle Aimed at 50 Cent

The release follows weeks of disputed rent accusations tied to the crew’s Bronx studio.

Overview

  • Jim Jones, Fabolous, Maino and Dave East shared a Christmas 'Squatters' freestyle over 50 Cent beats, renewing their public feud with the rapper and TV producer.
  • Fabolous delivers the sharpest jabs, referencing 50 Cent’s catalog and TV series Power and including a pointed line involving 50’s ex, Daphne Joy.
  • The track arrives after months of friction that began with the group’s commentary on 50 Cent’s rollout of a Diddy documentary.
  • 50 Cent previously posted purported landlord audio, accused the crew of owing significant back rent and labeled them 'squatters,' with one outlet reporting Jim Jones later paid to keep the space; the claims have not been independently verified.
  • As of Dec. 26, coverage notes no on-record musical response from 50 Cent, and some observers suggest a protracted rap battle is unlikely in the current podcast-driven climate.
