* AccidentalInnuendo: The opening of "Gun Runner" has Black Child ask 50 Cent if he can sell him some guns. The way they word it makes it sound like they're planning on having sex instead.
--> '''Black Child''': [[BiggerIsBetterInBed I got beef]], I wanna see what you got, and if I like it I'll cop.
--> '''50 Cent''': Damn nigga, you hot.
* FandomRivalry: His fans do not get along with fans of Music/KanyeWest (especially THAT moment in 2007), Music/RickRoss and Music/TheGameRapper, the latter two who have thrown disses towards him back and forth (though Fifty and Game reconciled in 2016).
* FirstInstallmentWins: Many fans consider ''Get Rich or Die Tryin''' to be a classic while his other work has a more mixed reception.
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhVA5p-nd9g These]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ-dFNyt3Ls&feature=related skits]] that diss Music/JaRule's singing. They are also HilariousInHindsight, since 50 has since been accused of the same thing just a few years later.
** His appearance on ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'', with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bx-DBraNxc a parody trailer]] as [[Film/{{Maleficent}} Male]][[{{Pun}} FiftyCent]]...
--->'''[=MaleFiftyCent=]:''' I've been shot nine times; I ain't scared of no white girl...
* HoYay: His relationship with Music/{{Eminem}} is quite close. It's not hard to find images of them hanging over each other. Eminem has {{lampshade|Hanging}}d it.
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: The most common criticism is that he's too formulaic. Even outside of his albums he tends to follow the pattern of [[TakeThat taking shots]] at other rappers as a means to gain attention before releasing a new album.
* MemeticMutation: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwUR-_j16A This is a special ASL/ELS challenge for you, Floyd]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Rather than doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge properly back in 2014, 50 Cent instead chose to diss Floyd Mayweather by challenging him to "read one full page of a ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' book", and that he would donate $750k USD to whatever charitable organization Floyd desired if he completed the task, before throwing the bucket of ice onto the grass behind him - a shot at Floyd Mayweather's supposed illiteracy. In addition to being part of the ongoing feud between 50 Cent and Floyd at the time, it has also become a snowclone for people across the internet to challenge someone to do something that they would realistically never do, either as a joke or as a way of dissing them.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdPRJk8GK7k I looked at the computer and the computer say "Floyd said: 'Fuck T.I. Fuck Nelly, Fuck 50.'" I'm like, 'What he say fuck ME for?!']]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]50 Cent's reaction to the tweet that started the beef with Floyd Mayweather in the first place, with him pointing out that he did absolutely nothing to get on Mayweather's bad-side while Nelly was the one who stole Floyd's baby mama and then his fiance.[[/labelnote]]
* NeverLiveItDown:
** When set to released his third album ''Curtis'' on the same day as Music/KanyeWest's third album ''Graduation'' in September 2007, 50 infamously declared that if Kanye outsold him, he would retire from rapping. When Kanye's sales easily outdid 50's own, 50 backpedaled from his previous comments, and many hip-hop fans and journalists still mock him over it to this day.
** 50 threw a epically bad first pitch at a Mets game in 2014. For some reason, this incident follows him around. Although he did manage to regain a bit of respect for his good-natured self-deprecating "explanation" on why his pitch was so bad during a Website/{{Reddit}} AMA[[note]]He claimed that he had been masturbating too much with that arm[[/note]].
** Infamously making fun of Creator/TerryCrews on Instagram after Crews came out revealing he was sexually groped in 2017 ''really'' bit him in the ass, with everyone agreeing it was very tasteless.
** Comedian Creator/AzizAnsari is known for telling a stand-up anecdote where he allegedly eats at a restaurant and overhears that 50 Cent apparently does not know [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waCF81HdKAA the difference between between a grape and a grapefruit]]. 50 for his part has denied this.
* NightmareFuel: The intro of ''The Massacre''. Doubles as LastNoteNightmare.
* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: ''VideoGame/FiftyCentBloodOnTheSand'' was considered [[SurprisinglyImprovedSequel a huge improvement]] compared to ''Bulletproof'', with fun gameplay, a solid online co-op mode, great graphics, and [[SoBadItsGood a hilariously stupid plot]].
* OvershadowedByControversy: What ultimately made him fall off the map. While his beefing initially helped make his career, he just didn't know when to stop; coupled with his absolutely gigantic overexposure (for people who were too young to remember, 50 Cent and G-Unit were almost omnipresent in the early and mid-2000s beyond just "In da Club", "21 Questions", and "Candy Shop" playing everywhere; to say that they had a licensing deal in every corner isn't really an exaggeration), people were already getting tired of him by 2006, and while he still kept going after the Kanye beef blew up in his face, the damage was done.
* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: His first game, ''50 Cent: Bulletproof'', was one of the worst-reviewed games of the 2005 holiday season despite strong sales.
* QuestionableCasting: He pulls it off, but his casting as TheSmartGuy in ''Film/EscapePlan'' raised a few eyebrows.
* SignatureSong: "In Da Club".
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: "How to Rob" takes shot after shot at various rappers and singers who were big names in 1999. Over twenty years later, it's a given that listeners might not get all the references right away.
