50 Cent Denies Claim That Fat Joe Tried to Assassinate Him

50 Cent‘s calling BS on the claim that Fat Joe wanted him dead back in the day … showing love for his fellow New Yorker in a recent social media post.

The rapper took to Instagram to address claims made about Joe in a lawsuit earlier this week — where the plaintiff Terrance Dixon accused him of allegedly offering a bounty on 50’s life.

Dixon also alleged that Fat Joe ordered a hit to go down in NYC … but, 50 was surrounded by “Navy Seal” type security — so he was never attacked.

50’s shutting down the rumor in its tracks … writing on Instagram that the claims about FJ “are not credible.”

He goes on, “I’m sorry joe has to endure the public scrutiny and damage to his reputation. THIS A STICK UP ! 🤨I wrote this hook I should a kept this one.”

Joe responded with some appreciation for the support … throwing a “100” emoji in the comments section.

Worth noting … Dixon’s claims about Fat Joe and 50 Cent are included in the same lawsuit — filed by Dixon and his attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn — we told you about earlier this week, where he was accused of having sex with underage girls.

Fat Joe’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, told us … the lawsuit is a blatant act of retaliation for a civil suit Fat Joe filed against Dixon.

Tacopina adds the accusations are “lies intended to damage his reputation and force a settlement through public pressure” — and, law enforcement is aware of alleged extortionate demands Tacopina says Dixon has made of Fat Joe.
