50 Cent has no sympathy for Tekashi69’s current turmoil being locked up in jail and facing life imprisonment, as he warns the young rapper not to ‘call him’.

The Fefe rapper has been in jail since November 2018 after an arrest on a string of charges including racketeering.

Prior to his jail stint, Tekashi was at the top of his game and counted the likes of Nicki Minaj and 50 Cent friends, collaborating with the superstars on Fefe and Get The Strap respectively.

But it seems 50, real name Curtis Jackson, has no interest in the troubled youngster as he faces a mountain of legal issues and potentially life in prison.

In his new interview with Power 105.1’s Breakfast Club on Tuesday, the Power producer said: ‘No, I haven’t spoken to him.’

When asked if he would answer Tekashi’s call from jail, 50 replied with a stern ‘no’.

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God was in complete shock at the In Da Club rapper distancing himself from 6ix9ine, and said: ‘That was your son, Fif.’

However, 50 was adamant about closing the door on their friendship and explained: ‘Yeah I know, but he’s his mother’s child now. When you do shit like that, you’re your mama’s child. Don’t call me! Don’t call me!’

Although, 50’s reaction shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise as the 44-year-old reacted pretty savagely to news of Tekashi’s arrest last year.

Echoing his latest comments, the rapper-turned-TV producer posted on Instagram: ‘My son got picked up, I told him don’t call me s**t.

‘The Fed’s on you fool, call ya momma don’t put the FBI on my phone. positive vibes only [sic].’

Shortly after his arrest, Tekashi pleaded not guilty to racketeering and was handed a trial date for September 2019 although this is believed to have been pushed back.

If found guilty, he faces life in prison, however he is rumoured to have struck a plea deal.

Several of Tekashi’s associates have also been arrested since then.
