I don’t know if 50 is “hurt” or not in the traditional sense. 50 is one of those guys who just revels in causing pain and chaos to his opps. He doesn’t know any other way. I’m sure he’s putting extra sauce on it because of the baby mama situation but a part of me feels like he’d be doing this even if Daphne hadn’t ever been involved with Puff. He just DOESN’T like Puff and wants to keep his foot on his neck. Maybe he really was offended at Puff coming onto him. Some men don’t play that at all. Maybe its some behind the scenes stuff we don’t know about.
But the fact is the matter that Puff had been moving foul for decades and in the end he allowed for all of this to happen to him. Not 50. Not Daphne. Not the Cassie. Not the court system. HE was an arrogant, violent, possibly rapist a$$hole who thought he was untouchable and robbed everyone he worked with blind. Its all on him.
And agree or not, 50 DOES have a point in the fact that Hip Hop shouldn’t be condojing his behavior. Puff and his actions put a stain on the genre just as much as he helped bring it to greater heights. fukking over Wu-Tang using payola to keep them blackballed from Hot 97, possibly paying off the Source Awards to give Biggie Lyricist of The Year over Nas. Screwing over Graig Mack, Mark Curry, Mase, and a host of others. Hell he tried to screw over Sting and Sting came back and got his publishing because Puff was doing bad business in not clearing samples. Dude is a real demon.
