The war of words between Brooklyn rapper Maino and Queens rap mogul 50 Cent has reached a new level. On March 11, Maino released a new diss track titled “Bleed Like Us,” a direct response to 50 Cent’s recently released song and video “No More Tricks, No More Tries.”
The record marks the latest chapter in an increasingly heated feud that now involves multiple New York rappers and the hosts of the “Let’s Rap About It” podcast.
Maino premiered “Bleed Like Us” on social media shortly after 50 Cent debuted his diss record. On the track, the Brooklyn rapper delivers several pointed bars aimed directly at the G-Unit founder, questioning his reputation and calling out his history of industry feuds.
Throughout the record, Maino references controversies tied to 50 Cent, including past allegations and the many high-profile conflicts that have defined his career. In one line, he suggests that 50 often directs his energy toward other Black artists rather than broader industry issues.
The song also contains references to 50’s street reputation and the narrative that helped shape his rise in hip-hop, with Maino challenging the authenticity behind the persona that helped make him famous.
“Bleed Like Us” reportedly draws inspiration from The Notorious B.I.G.’s classic record “N****s Bleed,” echoing the idea that even the most powerful figures in the rap game are not untouchable.
The latest round of diss tracks stems from tensions between 50 Cent and the hosts of the “Let’s Rap About It” podcast — a show featuring Jim Jones, Fabolous, Dave East, and Maino.
The conflict reportedly began after the podcast crew criticized 50 Cent’s documentary project about Sean “Diddy” Combs, questioning the timing and motives behind the project.
The comments didn’t sit well with 50 Cent, who responded with a series of social media posts mocking the group and escalating the tension online. The trolling eventually spilled over into music.
Over the weekend, 50 Cent released “No More Tricks, No More Tries,” a collaboration with Max B. The song arrived with an AI-generated video that directly targets the Let’s Rap About It crew.
In the visuals, the rapper throws jabs at Maino, Jim Jones, Fabolous, and Dave East while continuing his long-standing tradition of using humor, trolling, and aggressive bars to confront rivals.
The track was widely interpreted as a direct response to criticism from the podcast hosts, as well as part of 50 Cent’s broader pattern of public feuds.
50 Cent has built a reputation as one of hip-hop’s most outspoken figures, with beefs dating back decades. From earlier clashes with Ja Rule to newer disputes with multiple rappers and media personalities, confrontation has long been part of his brand.
In recent weeks, the Queens rapper has once again found himself at the center of several conflicts across the industry, with multiple artists taking shots at him online or through music.
With “Bleed Like Us” now circulating online and fans debating the latest round of bars, the feud shows no signs of slowing down.
Whether 50 Cent responds with another track or continues the trolling on social media remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the New York rap scene has a new rivalry brewing, and both sides appear ready to keep the lyrical shots coming.
