The T.I. and 50 Cent feud just took its most incendiary turn yet. King Harris, T.I.’s son, posted what he claims are FBI documents from October 12, 2009 alleging that Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson cooperated with federal agents in the murder investigation of Lowell “Lodi Mack” Fletcher, a G-Unit affiliate whose killing was linked to music executive James “Jimmy Henchman” Rosemond.
According to the documents King Harris shared on social media, 50 Cent allegedly placed an anonymous tip with authorities, accusing Rosemond of orchestrating Fletcher’s death in retaliation for an earlier assault on Rosemond’s son. The documents claim the rapper told agents he feared for his life.
Here Is What King Harris Left Out
These documents are not new. And they have already been discredited.
In May 2019, TMZ reported that law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the Lodi Mack case called the alleged FBI report “entirely fabricated.” Federal officials said the report was never taken, 50 Cent was never recorded as having spoken with investigators, and he was never listed as an informant in Rosemond’s case. Complex confirmed the same findings.
Jimmy Henchman was convicted in 2017 of ordering Fletcher’s murder and sentenced to life plus 30 years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. That conviction stood on its own evidence, not on any cooperation from 50 Cent.
The Beef Behind the Documents
This escalation stems from the ongoing T.I. versus 50 Cent feud that ignited earlier this month over a collapsed Verzuz battle. T.I. accused 50 Cent of agreeing to the matchup and then backing out after T.I. announced it publicly. The situation spiraled when 50 Cent posted a photo of T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, prompting King Harris to fire back with personal attacks, according to TheGrio. T.I. released diss tracks. 50 responded with memes. And now King Harris has pulled out the nuclear option: snitching allegations backed by documents that federal authorities already called fake.
Why This Matters
In hip-hop, being labeled a snitch can be career-ending. That is exactly why these documents keep resurfacing every time someone has beef with 50 Cent. Irv Gotti posted similar claims. French Montana circulated comparable allegations. Each time, the documents fail to hold up under scrutiny.
But the larger conversation is worth having. The “no snitching” code has real consequences in Black communities, where it can discourage cooperation with investigations into violence that disproportionately affects us. When “snitch” becomes a weapon in celebrity feuds rather than a real accountability standard, it cheapens the conversation and reinforces a code that often protects predators more than communities.
The takeaway: King Harris may have thought he was delivering a knockout blow. Instead, he recycled debunked documents in a beef that has already gone too far. The real question is not whether 50 Cent talked to the feds. The real question is why weaponizing cooperation with law enforcement remains hip-hop’s favorite character assassination tool, and who that culture actually protects.
