50 Cent claims he’s bought 200 front row Ja Rule seats to leave them empty

50 Cent claims to have bought 200 upfront seats for an upcoming Ja Rule concert, with plans to leave them empty when the date comes around. The move is part of a long-running feud between the two rappers over, I don’t know, whatever.
Sneaky tyke Fiddy initially pretended to hold out an olive branch. Posting a screengrab of a Groupon deal for the show at Arlington Backyard as part of the Texas Live festival next month, he wrote: “People think I’m mean, so go see this”. Noting the low ticket price, he added: “$15 [quizzical emoji]. Wait, what [do] I do now [shrugging emoji] LOL”.
Subsequently claiming to have snapped up a bunch of those bargain priced tickets, he posted an image of a mocked up news article announcing that he had bought “200 front row seats to Ja Rule concert so it will be empty”.
He then followed this with a crudely Photoshopped picture of himself sitting at the front of a bank of empty seats, writing underneath: “What a show, I mean just fucking great. Do it again! My kid went to the restroom. LOL”.
Just to reiterate, the show hasn’t actually happened yet. It’s scheduled for 9 Nov. And there’s no actual sign that 50 Cent really did buy those tickets. Either way, Ja Rule thought it was funny. “I get under [50 Cent’s] skin”, he tweeted. “I love it!”
