In the remarks, 50 says something to the effect of: Yayo is “the one friend that is like I wish he wasn’t my friend but he’s my best friend type of person,” because “he does that all the time.”‼️ He elaborates that life would be a lot easier without certain problems Yayo causes or escalates‼️. Specifically, 50 notes he “wouldn’t even have to go through my Jimmy Henchman period” if not for Yayo’s actions‼️. He acknowledges Yayo’s heart is in the right place, but “he does cause things… he’s a different animal.”‼️ When Yayo messes up (no matter the size), he quickly says “my bad,” they move on‼️and then it happens again‼️. 50 characterizes the apology as essentially meaning “chill out, let me do that again‼️.” It’s a long-running dynamic they’ve lived with‼️.
People (and sometimes the pair themselves in broader G-Unit/Power talk) have compared their bond to "Ghost and Tommy" from "Power"‼️the ultra-loyal, ride-or-die childhood friends from the streets who built something bigger together, stay linked through chaos, violence, and loyalty tests, and where one often has to clean up or absorb the fallout from the other’s hotter, more impulsive moves‼️. 50 (as the more calculated, empire-building figure) maps loosely to Ghost; Yayo (the aggressive, ride-for-the-crew energy who’s always ready) maps to Tommy‼️. The comparison captures the brotherly, non-negotiable loyalty mixed with constant friction and escalation that defines them‼️. "Power" itself is 50’s production vehicle, so the parallel is culturally apt even if not always stated word-for-word in every clip‼️.
50 Cent and Tony Yayo (Marvin Bernard) go back to the late ’90s as Southside Queens street guys who formed G-Unit with Lloyd Banks‼️. Yayo has been one of the most consistent, publicly loyal members through the group’s rise, incarcerations, fallouts, and reunions‼️. 50 has repeatedly put him on (albums, tours, videos, opportunities), and Yayo has stressed lifelong gratitude‼️“never bite the hand that feeds you,” he’d still ride even if 50 dissed him, etc‼️. Their bond is more friendship/street brotherhood than pure business (Yayo has contrasted it with more transactional mentor-protégé setups)‼️. They still appear together, joke, and operate in that G-Unit orbit years later‼️.
The major escalation 50 specifically ties to Yayo (and the “Jimmy Henchman period”) is the 2007 assault on Jimmy Henchman’s 14-year-old son‼️. Yayo and associate Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher were involved in confronting/assaulting the teen (reports describe slapping, yelling about Czar Entertainment, and a pistol-whipping element from Fletcher)‼️. This was amid the broader G-Unit vs. The Game / Jimmy Henchman tensions (Henchman managed Game; the beef had roots in industry/street rivalries involving Chris Lighty and others)‼️. 50 was not present (he documented being at home), but the incident massively intensified the war‼️.
Aftermath that 50 and the crew had to deal with included‼️:
- Retaliation attempts, including the shooting of Yayo’s mother’s house (family inside)‼️.
- Murder-for-hire plots and attempts targeting G-Unit figures, including reported efforts aimed at 50 (one tied to the “I’ll Still Kill” video set that reportedly failed due to a jammed gun, per Yayo’s later accounts)‼️.
- Ongoing violence and legal fallout that stretched for years; Henchman was later convicted in connection with the murder of Lodi Mack and received a life sentence-plus term‼️.
50’s point is that Yayo’s street-level, escalatory style created (or supercharged) conflicts that pulled the whole circle into heavier, more dangerous, and more public “periods” of war that a more restrained approach might have avoided or de-escalated‼️. Yayo’s loyalty and willingness to go hard for the crew is the flip side of the same coin‼️exactly why 50 keeps him close even while half-jokingly (or not) wishing the headaches weren’t part of the package‼️. It’s classic “this n**a is my brother and also the reason we got extra problems‼️
10 dollars or lesser than mine. Tested this with family members. When uber says buy 1 get 1 free, look at how your basket changes price then see uber raises their basket price and says “this is to help the platform.”
Disgusting practices uber does.
We all said @UberEats and @Uber needs to be investigated. Went to cancel my uber one, they offered me 6 months free to stay! I accepted. Now when I go to order anything including an uber the charge compared to others (tested this with 15 ppl) all their stuff is 10 dollars or less
Hey @elonmusk,
Seen you were offering a week trial for the paid version of ‘Grok.’ And I was going to sign up and just pay monthly but $25 a month is a lot right now. I understand the competitive pricing but even lowering it to 15 a month - it’ll still blow openAI out the water
And yall wonder why 75 percent of people call jayz a vulture. Selling a 1500 vinyl set when vinyls cost 5 dollars to make. The crate is another 5 dollars of plastic and let’s not forget the dollar tree lock. @Drake goated for life. Drake would never.
