Published 03/17/2025, 3:14 PM EDT

Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has long been known for his outspoken nature, frequently calling out individuals for various reasons and using platforms like X as his battleground. His list of past feuds includes high-profile relationships, such as his tumultuous marriage with Kim Kardashian and his infamous altercation with Taylor Swift. Their feud began in 2009 when Ye interrupted Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, claiming Beyoncé deserved the award. However, Ye has notably spared one individual recently, with many speculating that he did so for a very black reason.

Ye sparing individuals from his usual backlash is an extremely rare sight, one that fans feel fortunate to witness this time.

In a recent post on X, Ye expressed admiration for 50 Cent, calling him one of his favorite people. Ye stated that 50 Cent will play a significant role in restoring black economic independence. Despite their past conflicts, it seems that Ye is now attempting to extend an olive branch, possibly rekindling their friendship.

Though Ye has not released a new album in years, his legacy remains a constant topic among fans. A fan in 2023 reflected on the infamous 2007 competition between Ye’s 'Graduation' and 50 Cent’s 'Curtis' when both rappers strategically dropped their albums on the same day. However, Ye’s recent post praising 50 Cent signals a stark shift, hinting at a possible end to their rivalry. Despite 50 Cent’s earlier uno reverse moment, where he threw Ye off guard by interrupting his performance, he did not stop there—he disrupted not only Ye’s but also other performances in the process.
