Maino recently sat down to clear the air about the ongoing rumors regarding his podcast studio. He specifically addressed 50 Cent’s allegations of eviction due to unpaid rent. This cent news comes as Maino, Jim Jones, and other collaborators have been in a public back-and-forth with the G-Unit mogul.
What Happened
During an appearance on “Way Up With Angela Yee.” Maino stated that all the eviction claims were “cap.” He explained that Jim Jones holds a five-year lease on the studio space. Maino also shared that he is not personally handling the rent payments for the studio. He added that if there were real rent issues, the matter would likely be in court, and nobody involved is currently facing legal action.
Tour Drama and 50 Cent’s Involvement
The feud between 50 Cent and the podcast crew reportedly began after Jim Jones criticized 50 Cent’s Diddy docuseries, Sean Combs: The Reckoning. 50 Cent responded by posting security footage of Jones attempting to enter the studio. He also shared a recording of a conversation he allegedly had with Jones’s previous landlord. This landlord claimed Jones owed between $80,000 and $180,000 in unpaid rent.
Maino’s Perspective on the Studio Situation
Maino clarified that he isn’t responsible for paying the studio rent. He pointed out that the landlord was escorted out of the building for changing the locks, suggesting the situation was not as straightforward as 50 Cent portrayed. Maino emphasized that if rent wasn’t being paid, legal proceedings would have been initiated by now. He believes the focus on court appearances was missed by many observers.
Escalating Feud and Creative Responses
While Jim Jones initially dismissed 50 Cent’s allegations and even thanked him for the promotion, the situation escalated. 50 Cent claimed to have purchased the building, positioning himself as the new landlord. In response, Fabolous, Maino, Jim Jones, and Dave East released diss tracks on Christmas 2025, taking aim at 50 Cent over his own beats. This move marked a further escalation in the ongoing verbal sparring.
Looking Ahead
The situation remains complex with ongoing exchanges between the artists. Maino’s comments suggest that 50 Cent’s claims might be more about public posturing than substantive legal issues. The release of diss records also indicates a willingness from the podcast crew to push back creatively
