T.I. has dropped a new track titled ‘War,’ which appears to be a direct response to 50 Cent, following a recent escalation in their long-standing feud. The 100-second preview of the song, which may be part of T.I.’s final album Kill the King, due in 2026, includes lines that seem to reference 50 Cent without naming him explicitly. In the track, T.I. raps, ‘The bear hibernating, don’t poke him/ When you see the giant sleeping, shouldn’t have woke him.’

Feud Heats Up With Personal Attacks

The tensions between T.I. and 50 Cent have intensified recently after a series of public exchanges. Over the weekend, 50 Cent posted an unflattering photo of T.I.’s wife, Tiny Harris, which sparked a sharp response from T.I. and his son, King Harris. T.I. commented on the post with a message that included profanity and a veiled insult: ‘Fu*k Ni66a you can post a fat ho in a snowstorm on a unicycle juggling dildos…. You still a HO!!!! #KingSaid That.’

King Harris, known for his own social media presence, added a provocative comment: ‘Where ya mama?’ The following day, he posted a fiery rant on his Instagram Stories, targeting 50 Cent directly. ‘B — h a — n — a wanna say something about my mama, your mama dead as f — k n — a. Your mama dead as f — k, go dig her up,’ he said, referencing 50 Cent’s late mother.

50 Cent Responds With Taunts and Posts

50 Cent continued the back-and-forth on Monday (Feb. 23), when he reposted a clip from the 50 WTF? podcast. The clip featured the cohosts criticizing both T.I. and Tiny Harris. This move was seen as an attempt to further inflame the situation, adding to the already heightened tensions between the two rappers.

The feud between T.I. and 50 Cent was reignited earlier in February when T.I. expressed confidence in his ability to defeat 50 Cent in a potential Verzuz battle. However, 50 Cent reportedly had no interest in participating, which led to a series of insults from the G-Unit mogul. He called T.I. ‘King Rat’ in an Instagram comment, a jab at the rapper’s nickname and a reference to the legal troubles T.I. has faced over the years.

T.I. responded with a pointed message on Instagram, stating, ‘You playing on MY NAME when only one of us a rat in real life…you know I got your paperwork right? And my transcript is available online.’ He continued, ‘Your excuses is useless. Get yo h — a — in the box or STFU and live in fear. You soft son. You’ve lost my respect. Fckn [duck emoji].’

T.I. Makes Billboard Chart Return

Amid the ongoing feud, T.I. has also achieved a significant milestone in his music career. His song ‘Let ‘Em Know’ earned its first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100 in more than a decade, peaking at No. 50 on the chart dated Feb. 21. This marks a return to the top 40 for the rapper, who has been absent from the chart for over a decade.

T.I.’s new song ‘War’ and the surrounding controversy have captured significant attention from fans and media. The track’s release, along with the ongoing feud with 50 Cent, has brought renewed focus to T.I.’s legacy in hip-hop and his influence in the rap game. With his final album on the horizon, the rapper is positioning himself for a lasting impact in the industry.

As the feud continues, both T.I. and 50 Cent have shown no signs of backing down. Their exchanges have become increasingly personal, with both sides using social media as a platform for their barbs. The situation remains volatile, with no clear resolution in sight.
