Dave Blunts Escalates 50 Cent Feud with MUST SEE “In Da Club” Parody Diss Track

Written by on 08/18/2025

Iowa rapper Dave Blunts has intensified his ongoing conflict with 50 Cent, releasing a provocative diss track that directly mimics the hip-hop legend’s breakthrough hit while launching personal attacks.

The Visual Statement

On Sunday, Blunts unveiled an unreleased music video that recreates 50 Cent’s iconic “In Da Club” visual, complete with early 2000s aesthetics. The rapper, accompanied by a model, delivers pointed lyrics targeting Curtis Jackson while borrowing the familiar backdrop of one of hip-hop’s most recognizable videos.

The track opens with Blunts directly addressing 50 Cent by his government name, setting a confrontational tone that escalates throughout the song. Blunts makes it clear he’s prepared for a prolonged battle, referencing the mogul’s tendency to engage in public disputes.

Brewing Social Media War

The diss track represents the latest escalation in a feud that began brewing on social media platforms. Last month, 50 Cent targeted Blunts’ physical appearance with an Instagram post suggesting he would “push him down the stairs”—a jab at the rapper’s weight that sparked immediate retaliation.

Blunts fired back by posting a photo of an extremely thin 50 Cent from his 2011 film “All Things Fall Apart,” where the rapper drastically lost weight to portray a cancer patient. The Iowa artist used the image to highlight his own health journey while criticizing the commercial failure of 50 Cent’s dramatic acting venture.

Strategic Timing

Blunts had been building anticipation for this response for weeks, teasing the “In Da Club” homage on Instagram with behind-the-scenes photos showing him and his collaborator recreating the classic video’s look and feel.

The feud emerges as 50 Cent remains vocal about his longtime rival Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces serious legal challenges. Diddy was recently convicted on prostitution-related charges but acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking counts after a lengthy trial. The Bad Boy Entertainment founder awaits sentencing in October, facing up to twenty years in prison.

50 Cent has publicly stated his belief that Diddy will not receive presidential clemency, continuing their years-long animosity even as the music executive faces potential incarceration.

Cultural Impact

Blunts’ decision to co-opt one of 50 Cent’s most successful and culturally significant videos represents a bold strategic move, using the power of nostalgia and recognition to amplify his own message. Whether this approach will elevate his profile or simply anger one of hip-hop’s most successful entrepreneurs remains to be seen.

The feud highlights how modern rap conflicts play out across multiple platforms, blending traditional diss tracks with social media warfare and visual parody.
