Summary

Long before the “I’m sorry Fofty” memes took over the internet, 50 Cent was a friend and collaborator of film producer Randall Emmett. But an explosive feud ignited when 50 Cent took to social media to accuse Randall of owing him $1 million, and insult Randall’s relationship with Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent. This intense weekend-long battle would become an instagram caption war for the ages, with hospital visits, t-shirt sales, and media appearances galore. In this episode we’ll unpack how one of the most strategic feuders we’ve ever covered gets his goals accomplished!
