50 Cent celebrates winning an Emmy for the Super Bowl show.
The 2022 Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held earlier tonight, and this year’s Super Bowl Halftime show was given the honour in a couple of categories. 50 Cent, who won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar, decided to celebrate the win with some shades at The Game.
“Oh no, i’m sorry you don’t get one [Trophy emoji]. Then the first week 18k, if you need someone to talk to i’m here for you. LOL,” he wrote with his iconic car gif. The rapper referenced the first week sales of The Game’s latest album “Drillmatic – Mind vs Heart”.

The Compton rapper previously revealed that he was hurt for not getting called for the Super Bowl halftime show. “The real reason I wasn’t on the Super Bowl [Halftime Show] is because I’m not a ‘safe’ artist,’” he explained in an interview with I Am Athlete podcast. “You don’t know what the Game gon’ do when he get up there. So, it’s just like, ‘He not safe,’ so they went with the safe artists.”
He continued, “We, on the West Coast, are the only motherf**kers who have this crab-in-a-barrel mentality, where we wanna keep ni**as down. Snoop Dogg is icon. Dre is icon. Em is an icon, but Em is not from L.A. 50 is not from L.A. I’m not taking away from the fact that they’re were on the Super Bowl, but L.A. [artists] wouldn’t have been in the Detroit Super Bowl or New York Super Bowl. It just wouldn’t have happened… L.A., L.A., L.A. all around the Super Bowl and I didn’t get the call.” The rapper was then asked about how it made him feel, “I was hurt by that,” he responded.
The Game was also included in an old shot that 50 Cent uploaded on his Instagram page with the comment “No caption needed” and laughing emojis. Since then, the post has been taken down.

The Game apparently saw Fif’s tweet and uploaded an old photo of the New York rhymer with the comment, “No caption needed,” accompanied with three smiling emojis. The rapper was wearing a loose tie and an unbuttoned shirt. In addition to the chilli pepper emoji, he also included the hashtags #SpicyAssNigga and #whatYoEyeBrowDoin. After that, The Game also removed his post.
