The rap game’s longest-running cold war just got another heat wave. This week, 50 Cent took aim at Rick Ross yet again — this time over a wild claim that the Maybach Music boss shelled out **\$500,000** for towering palm trees to decorate his Star Island mega-mansion in Miami.

In true 50 fashion, he didn’t just clap back — he went for the jugular. Flooding Instagram with split-screen memes, 50 compared Ross’ alleged half-million-dollar trees to regular nursery palms priced at just \$1,500. His caption was pure venom:

> “Rosie paying for the inspiration tax. \$500,000? Stop lyin’, boy. You doing free shows for Bow Wow.”

That last line was a sharp jab at Ross’ recent appearance as a special guest on the *Millennium Tour 2025*, headlined by Bow Wow — a move 50 has repeatedly mocked as a sign of career desperation.

This latest roast is just another chapter in a feud stretching well over a decade. Earlier this year, 50 went at Ross for teaming up with notorious drug kingpin Big Meech, which ended with a canceled concert. Back in May, he dug up Ross’ infamous 2013 “U.O.E.N.O.” lyric about drugging a woman — a scandal that once forced Ross to apologize — prompting Ross to fire back by referencing old rape allegations tied to 50’s ex, Daphne Joy.

For 50, the “Palm Tree Play” fits perfectly into his trolling playbook — using Ross’ luxury spending as proof of insecurity and overcompensation. He’s done it before, clowning Ross’ past financial troubles and weight. In 50’s eyes, Star Island mansions may scream success, but dropping half a mil on landscaping just screams desperation for relevance.

Meanwhile, Ross is still tied up in a legal battle over the rights to his name — giving 50 yet another potential weapon for future attacks.
