50 Cent better duck if Floyd jabs

THE tension between rapper 50 Cent and boxer Floyd Mayweather has spilled over into the public domain.

Celebrity websites and social networks have already captured the two stars' ongoing tiff. Just days after 50 Cents, full name Curtis Jackson, turned his back on their boxing promoting partnership, TMT Promotions, to start his own outfit, SMS Promotions.

Mayweather is fresh from serving mandatory time for violence-related domestic abuse.

The hip-hop mogul took to Twitter at the weekend, to taunt the boxing superstar, while challenging him to fight his SMS fighter, Yuriorkis Gamboa.

Said 50 Cents, also known as FIF: "Gamboa wants to fight Floyd. I will put up a extra 20 million dollars for the winner. He don't like it that Floyd pulled out."

In another confrontational tweet, the rapper said: "Gamboa is the truth, Floyd know that ... stop tricking and fight.

Later, FIF was somewhat personal, saying: "Money Floyd, you know I have more money than you.

"Al Haymen got you on a allowance ... you go broke every fight, stupid."

When Mayweather caught wind of these "disses" he also took to Twitter, and the boxing star threw out various insults of his own, calling his former hip-hop friend a "male boxing groupie", and even questioning the rapper's relevance in music.
