Fez — Rapper 50 Cent reshared an AI-generated parody video that shows him receiving a fictional “Nobel Prize for Beef.”
The video was created by Bardh Sokoli, it wasn’t long before 50 Cent noticed, giving it his seal of approval with the caption, “Who made this? I like it.”
The clip, which went viral on social media before reaching him, shows a lavish awards ceremony modeled after the Nobel Prize.
A digital of 50 Cent takes the podium to accept the tongue-in-cheek honor, delivering a speech true to his well-known persona.
“First of all I want to thank everyone I didn’t forgive. This wouldn’t have been possible without you,” the AI-generated 50 says to applause from a digitally recreated audience.
Cameos and subtle jabs
The parody video includes AI renderings of several hip-hop figures seated in the audience, including Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Kanye West, alongside longtime G-Unit affiliates.
At one point, the camera pans to an empty chair labeled for Jay-Z, widely interpreted as a reference to the two artists’ history of tension.
Another scene shifts to what appears to be a prison common area, where a gray-haired man watches the ceremony on television — a moment viewers interpreted as a pointed nod to Diddy amid his ongoing legal troubles.
“I got shot nine times. After that, forgiveness starts feeling optional,” the AI-generated 50 Cent said in the clip. “Just so we’re clear tonight, if I’m smiling, it’s already over.”
50’s approval
The AI creation aligns with 50 Cent’s long history of publicly trolling rivals, often blending humor with confrontation.
In recent days, he also commented on resurfaced footage involving longtime adversary Ja Rule in a heated airplane exchange with members of 50’s circle.
Beef as brand
Beyond music, 50 Cent has increasingly integrated his reputation for feuds into marketing ventures. During Super Bowl week, he appeared in a DoorDash campaign built around the concept of “beef,” playfully leaning into his “king of beef” persona.
The AI “Nobel Beef Prize” parody reflects how digital tools are reshaping celebrity satire, allowing fans and creators to remix public images into viral spectacles.
For 50 Cent, whose career has long intertwined rivalry and branding, the fictional award fits neatly into his ongoing performance of dominance — one that now extends into the AI era.
