00:0050 Cent calls Rick Ross his hardest beef because Ross is basically law enforcement, then mocks
00:06his Georgia mansion.
00:0850 Cent has named Rick Ross his hardest beef ever.
00:12On the latest episode of The Crew Has It, he said the reason comes down to Ross's past
00:17as a Florida correctional officer.
00:19The feud first ignited in 2009 and has never cooled in nearly two decades.
00:2550 did not hesitate when the question came.
00:27The most difficult beef to have is when the person you're beefing with is law enforcement,
00:32he said.
00:33He argued that a rivalry with someone who has been sworn in ties your hands.
00:38When they get high, they just going to tell, he added, drawing laughter from the room.
00:43The officer label has deep roots.
00:46Florida Department of Corrections records surfaced in 2008, showing Ross was appointed as a correctional
00:52officer in December 1995 and resigned in June 1997.
00:56He initially dismissed the records as fakes, but later owned the job openly, even rapping
01:01about it on 2014's Rich's Gangsta.
01:0450 also went after Ross's real estate.
01:07He called the rapper's Fayetteville, Georgia estate a big white elephant that is just eating
01:13money.
01:13He claimed the air conditioning fails across half the mansion, leaving one side hot, other
01:18side a little bit cold.
01:20Ross bought the Fayetteville estate in 2014 for roughly $5.8 million.
01:26The feud's most personal chapter came with the Lastonia-Leveston case.
01:31Leveston, the mother of one of Ross's children, saw intimate video of herself posted in connection
01:36with 50's online presence.
01:38She sued, and in 2015, a jury awarded her roughly $7 million in restorative and punitive damages.
01:4650 filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy that same summer.
01:51The timing of 50's latest shots is no accident.
01:54Ross was arrested earlier this month on battery-related charges, and he has pleaded not guilty and maintains
02:00his innocence.
02:01His power franchise has made him one of television's most influential producers, giving his trolling
02:06the weight of executive muscle.
