50 Cent takes aim at Beyoncé’s mom Tina Knowles after she showed support for Tiny during his beef with T.I. [PHOTO]

The G-Unit Boss Posted and Quickly Deleted a Photo of Tina Knowles With a Caption That Had the Internet Questioning How Far This Beef Is Going to Go

50 Cent crossed into new territory yesterday (February 24), when he posted a photo of Tina Knowles — Beyoncé’s mother — on Instagram. He had a caption that read: “I’m not gonna do it but is getting weird. Little messed up albino kids, grandmothers getting involved WTF LOL.” The post was deleted within hours. However, the screenshots had already spread across every major platform before it came down.

The trigger was Knowles reposting a video from Tiny Harris’s Instagram showing Tiny glammed up, captioned with “You feel that? That’s what real feminine energy looks like. Effortless. Beautiful. Unbothered. Glow Season.” That repost was enough to draw 50 Cent’s attention and pull Beyoncé’s mother into a beef that originated over a canceled Verzuz battle.

The deletion came fast. However, the screenshots were already everywhere.

How the T.I. and 50 Cent Beef Got to This Point

The current wave of tension between T.I. and 50 Cent traces back to a Verzuz battle that never happened. T.I. went on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast and stated publicly that he lost respect for 50 after 50 agreed to the battle and backed out once T.I. made the announcement. Those comments reignited a longstanding tension. In addition, it put both men back in the public conversation in a significant way.

50 responded by posting an unflattering photo of Tiny Harris on Instagram. Thus, framing it as a direct response to T.I. for bringing his name up. T.I. fired back with diss tracks and public statements, and King Harris — T.I. and Tiny’s 21-year-old son — entered the conversation with Instagram rants that included references to 50 Cent’s late mother Sabrina Jackson.

By the time Tina Knowles reposted Tiny’s glam video on February 24, the beef had already drawn in a wife and a son. The repost added Beyoncé’s mother to a growing list of family members being pulled into a dispute between two rappers.

What 50 Cent’s Deleted Post Said and What It Referenced

The caption on 50’s deleted post addressed multiple targets at once. “Grandmothers getting involved” was a direct reference to Tina Knowles reposting Tiny’s video. “Little messed up albino kids” pointed at King Harris, using skin tone as part of the jab. Shortly after posting the Knowles photo, 50 followed up with a GIF of Solange — Tina’s daughter and Beyoncé’s sister — removing her earrings. That is a widely recognized gesture signaling readiness for conflict.

50 then deleted the Tina Knowles post along with all other T.I., Tiny, and King-related content from his Instagram. Most outlets covering the story documented the sequence with screenshots before the posts came down, preserving the captions across multiple outlets.

The deletions were confirmed across multiple reports earlier today (February 25). However, there have been no public statements from 50 addressing the removal.

King Harris Released a Diss Track Called “Made Man” Amid the Beef

While the social media back-and-forth was playing out, King Harris took his response to the studio. Yesterday (February 24), King released a track titled “Made Man.” That song included direct shots at 50 Cent, specifically referencing 50 speaking on his mother. The release followed King’s earlier Instagram rants and added a musical dimension to what had largely been a social media exchange.

T.I. had already released his own diss material. This includes a track titled “War” and one called “The Right One.” Thus, making the father-and-son combination active participants in the beef on record. The music releases ran parallel to the social media posts and deletions happening in real time.

Reports also began circulating this morning of T.I. working on a mini-documentary making serious allegations about 50 Cent’s past. Therefore, adding another potential layer to an already escalating situation.

The Internet Reacted Sharply to the Albinism Comments and Tina Knowles Being Targeted

Reactions to 50’s post focused heavily on two elements — the reference to “albino kids” and the decision to target Tina Knowles. “Albinism has nothing to do with his beef,” one reply under the XXL post read. “Old man can do better.” Multiple users across platforms described the skin tone reference as insensitive and disconnected from the core dispute between the two rappers.

The Tina Knowles angle drew its own wave of criticism, with several replies describing the move as 50 attacking a Black elder who had no direct involvement in the beef beyond a social media repost. “WHAT?! This n**ga is attacking elderly women now?!” one reply read. Others linked the pattern to 50’s history of targeting family members in past beefs, citing Tiny’s unflattering photo as the earlier example.

A separate thread of reactions framed the deletions as a response to the BeyHive preparing to mobilize, with users noting that bringing Beyoncé’s mother into any public dispute tends to have predictable consequences.

Where the T.I. and 50 Cent Beef Stands

As of press time, 50 Cent’s Instagram is cleared of all T.I.-related content and no new public response has emerged from his side. T.I. has two diss tracks in circulation and King Harris has “Made Man” on record. Reports of T.I. developing a documentary making past allegations about 50 continue to circulate without official confirmation from either camp.

Tina Knowles has not issued a public statement in response to 50’s post. Beyoncé has also not commented publicly. The beef that began over a Verzuz dispute has now drawn in Tiny, King, and Tina Knowles across multiple days of escalating posts, deletions, and music releases.

No official statements from 50 Cent addressing the deletions or the direction of the beef have been released as of the time of this report.

Conclusion

50 Cent posting and deleting a photo of Tina Knowles marked a new escalation point in a beef that has pulled in multiple family members over the course of several days. The caption’s reference to “albino kids” and “grandmothers getting involved” drew sharp reactions online before the posts came down.

With T.I. and King Harris releasing music, a potential documentary in circulation, and 50’s Instagram cleared of all related content, the T.I. and 50 Cent beef remains active heading into the final days of February 2026.ed posts say more than anything he could put in a caption.
