50 recently told Apple Music that he doesn't release much music anymore because at his age, he doesn't want to be "in the way."

Rick Ross predictably has a message for his fellow troll-in-arms 50 Cent.
The Miami rapper took to social media to respond to 50’s recent comments about still putting out rap albums and wanting to be the hottest rapper after a certain age during an appearance on Apple Music’s Rap Life Review.
“I saw Curtis Jackson say he ain’t doing no music and it makes sense for the music he make,” he said in a video posted to his Instagram Stories before bringing up Bun B, who’s still actively rapping in his early 50s. “But Bun B just hit the stage, the South won’t let Bun B stop rappin’. If Pimp C was alive we wouldn’t let Pimp C stop rappin’, they could put out albums til they’re 85 years old, n—a. That’s how it go. When the streets love you and the culture needs you and you bring something that can’t be duplicated. F— what your age is.”
Last week, 50 gave Apple Music host Ebro the reason why he doesn’t release much music these days unless said music is attached to one of his film projects. “I’m not trying to be in the way,” the Queens rapper and filmmaker explained. “Hip-hop culture is connected to youth culture. You are not supposed to be the hottest in nothin’ at 60. F— that, man.”
He then added that he still has love for music, but if it doesn’t make dollars, then it doesn’t make sense. “I still got love for music. I’m never going to lose that. I’ma always want to do something,” 50 continued. “And those are like entries. It’s me putting a little piece or tap something in there for them to hear that I still do it, that I still got it. If it doesn’t sell, you keep it to your motherf—king self. Motherf—ker’ll tell you, ‘This is a personal album. I made this for this and that.’ Then why do I hear it, b—h?”
Both Ross and 50 have been busy in between trolling each other. Rozay dropped his 12th solo album Set in Stone last month and is currently on tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of his debut Port of Miami while 50 had a cameo during the Verzuz between Donnell Jones and Joe, and is in the live-action Street Fighter film that’s set to hit theaters in October.
