The hip-hop world is abuzz with rumors that Drake may have 50 Cent on his mind as he faces more legal issues. Some suspect that the rapper's moves at this stage are inspired by business mogul 50 Cent. AllHipHop's Houston Williams recently laid out five clues, according to industry experts, that 50 Cent might be behind Drake's legal actions.
Williams states that this information shows a cold calculation that is consistent with 50 Cent's previous battle tactics. Strategic Media Manipulation The skillful deployment of media narratives seems to replicate tactics throughout 50 Cent's canon. Drake has successfully leveraged pudding public sentiment to sympathy, experts say, a tactic that is in line with 50 Cent's historical talent for media shaping.
Culturally-Spun Corporate Petitions Drake's recent petition against UMG and Spotify might remind us of 50 Cent's tactics of converting corporate disputes into cultural statements. 50 Cent has managed his own controversies using a similar strategy of seeking public sympathy, making himself the victim, and taking shots from the sidelines. G-Unit Symbolism One of the more visible signs of 50 Cent's influence arrived when Drake was photographed wearing a G-Unit chain during a performance.
However, it has also fueled speculation that the gesture is more than a simple nod to nostalgia; it could even mean that the one-born artists are doing it for a reason. Drake brings out 50 Cent and G Unit! #OVOfest pic.twitter.
